Herein we report the results of a detailed study on the in-situ generation of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles and their catalytic activity in methanolysis of hydrazine borane and ammonia borane. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles with an average particle size of 3.0 +/- 0.7 nm were in-situ generated from the reduction of nickel(II) 2-ethylhexanoate during the methanolysis of hydrazine borane in the presence of PVP at room temperature. Polymer stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles could be isolated from the solution by centrifugation and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, XPS, TEM, and SAED. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles are highly active and long lived catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of hydrazine borane and ammonia borane at ambient temperature. The results of kinetic study reveal that the methanolysis is first order with respect to catalyst concentration and zero order regarding to substrate concentration in both cases. PVP-stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles provide 14,500 turnovers in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of hydrazine borane and 5300 turnovers from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. They also provide an initial turnover frequency of 35.6 and 12.1 min(-1) for the catalytic methanolysis of hydrazine borane and ammonia borane, respectively.

Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on polydopamine coated CoFe2O4 as highly active, magnetically isolable and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane
Manna, Joydev; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2017-07-05)
Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on cobalt ferrite (Pd degrees/CoFe2O4) are found to be highly active catalyst, providing an unprecedented catalytic activity with a turnover frequency of 290 min(-1) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. However, the initial catalytic activity of Pd degrees/CoFe2O4 catalyst is not preserved after the reuse of the catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. The stability of the catalyst is improved by using the pol...

This work reports the preparation and catalytic use of nanoceria supported rhodium(0) nanoparticles, Rh(0)/nanoCeO(2), as catalyst for hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane. Rh(0)/nanoCeO(2) was in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate on the surface of nanoceria during the catalytic methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The results of analysis using PXRD, TEM, STEM-EDS, XPS, SEM, SEM-EDX, N-2 adsorption-desorption and ICP-OES reveal that rhodium(0) nano...

Nanosilica stabilized rhodium(0) nanoparticles (Rh(0)/nanoSiO(2)), in situ formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate impregnated on the surface of nanosilica, are active catalyst in hydrogen generation from the methanolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. Monitoring the hydrogen evolution enables us to follow the kinetics of nanoparticles formation. The resulting sigmoidal kinetic curves are analyzed by using the 2-step mechanism of the slow, continuous nucleation and autocatalytic surface g...

Palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on silica-coated cobalt ferrite (Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4) were in situ generated during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, isolated from the reaction solution by using a permanent magnet and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, TEM-EDX, XPS and the N-2 adsorption-desorption techniques. All the results reveal that well dispersed palladium(0) nanoparticles were successfully supported on silica coated cobalt ferrite and the resulting Pd(0)/SiO2-CoFe2O4 are highly active, magnetica...

Highly efficient dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) at room temperature was achieved using palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Pd-0/CeO2) as catalysts. Pd-0/CeO2 was prepared by impregnation of palladium(II) ions on the surface of ceria followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution at room temperature.
