Monodisperse nickel nanoparticles are prepared from the reduction of Ni(acac)(2) with borane tributylamine in the presence of oleylamine and oleic acid. Without any special treatment to remove the surfactants, the as-synthesized Ni nanoparticles supported on the Ketjen carbon support exhibit high catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of the ammonia-borane (H3NBH3) complex with a total turnover frequency value of 8.8 mol of H-2 center dot(mol of Ni)(-1).min(-1). Such catalysis based on Ni nanoparticles represents a promising step toward the practical development of the H3NBH3 complex as a feasible hydrogen storage medium for fuel cell applications.

Monodisperse nickel nanoparticles supported on SiO2 as an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane Metin, Onder; Özkar, Saim; Sun, Shouheng (2010-09-01) Monodisperse Ni nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by the reduction of nickel(II) acetylacetonate with the borane-tributylamine complex in a mixture of oleylamine and oleic acid. These Ni NPs are an active catalyst for the hydrolysis of the ammonia-borane (AB, H3N center dot BH3) complex under ambient conditions and their activities are dependent on the chemical nature of the oxide support that they were deposited on. Among various oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, and CeO2) tested, SiO2 was found to enhance Ni N...
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated Fe3O4 as magnetically isolable, highly active and reusable catalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Manna, Joydev; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2016-01-01) Magnetic ferrite nanopowders were coated with polydopamine which is inert against the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Coating of ferrite powders was achieved by pH-induced self-polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride at room temperature. Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated ferrite (Pd-0/PDA-Fe3O4) were prepared by impregnation of palladium(II) ions on the surface of PDA-Fe3O4 followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution at room temperature. Magnetically isol...
Nanoalumina-supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles as catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (2017-10-01) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles were in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate and supported on the surface of nanoalumina yielding Rh(0)/nanoAl(2)O(3) which is highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation can be followed just by monitoring the volume of hydrogen gas evolved from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. The evaluation of the kinetic data gives valuable insights to the slow, continuous n...
Covalent Dimers of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran for Singlet Fission: Synthesis and Electrochemistry Akdağ, Akın; Beran, Pavel; Rulisek, Lubomir; Dron, Paul I.; Ludvik, Jiri; Michl, Josef (2015-01-01) The synthesis of covalent dimers in which two 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran units are connected through one phenyl substituent on each is reported. In three of the dimers, the subunits are linked directly, and in three others, they are linked via an alkane chain. A seventh new compound in which two 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran units share a phenyl substituent is also described. These materials are needed for investigations of the singlet fission process, which promises to increase the efficiency of solar cells. Th...
Hydrothermal zinc oxide nanowire growth using zinc acetate dihydrate salt AKGUN, Mehmet Can; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2012-06-01) Hydrothermal approach is widely used for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, zinc acetate and zinc chloride are three common salts that are used for synthesis. Among these, zinc nitrate hexahydrate is primarily used in many studies and zinc chloride is preferred for electrodeposition. In this work, zinc acetate dihydrate salt is used for the growth of ZnO nanowires and the effects of time, temperature, solution concentration and concentration ratios of the precursor chemic...
