Hydrogen phosphate (HPO4 2−) or poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters were in situ generated from the reduction of cobalt(II) chloride during the catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in the presence of stabilizers, HPO4 2− or PAA. Cobalt(0) nanoclusters stabilized by HPO4 2− or PAA were characterized by using UV–Visible spectroscopy, TEM, XPS and FT-IR techniques. They were employed as catalysts in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to examine the effect of stabilizer type on their catalytic activity and stability. Detailed reaction kinetics of the hydrolysis of NaBH4 in the presence of both catalysts was studied depending on catalyst concentration, substrate concentration and temperature. PAA stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters provided higher total turnover number (TTON = 6,600) than that of HPO4 2− stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters (1,285 turnovers). However, the HPO4 2− stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters provided a lower activation energy (E a = 53 ± 2 kJ mol−1) than the PAA stabilized cobalt(0) nanoclusters (E a = 58 ± 2 kJ mol−1) for the hydrolysis of NaBH4. The use of two types of stabilizers in the preparation of the same metal(0) nanoclusters following the same methodology enables us to compare the electrostatic and steric stabilization in terms of the catalytic activity and stability of metal(0) nanoclusters.

Effect of High Temperature on Swellable Organically Modified Silica (SOMS) and Its Application for Preferential CO Oxidation in H-2 Rich Environment Basu, Dishari; Ailawar, Saurabh; Çelik, Gökhan; Edmiston, Paul; Ozkan, Umit S. (Wiley, 2020-07-01) Transition metal oxide catalysts tend to deactivate in the presence of moisture during hydrogen purification using preferential oxidation (PROX) of carbon monoxide (CO) . Thus, novel water-tolerant catalysts need to be developed. Herein, the evolution of heat treated swellable organically-modified silica (SOMS), a hydrophobic organic-inorganic hybrid material, has been characterized and applied as a catalyst support for PROX under moisture-rich conditions. While the SOMS-supported cobalt manganese oxide was...
HYDROGEN CHEMISORPTION ON POTASSIUM-PROMOTED SUPPORTED RUTHENIUM CATALYSTS Üner, Deniz; GERSTEIN, BC; KING, TS (Elsevier BV, 1994-04-01) The interaction of hydrogen on potassium promoted catalysts prepared by both sequential and co-impregnation methods was studied by proton NMR spectroscopy. Potassium addition decreased the amounts of both hydrogen adsorbed on the metal (site blocking) and the support hydroxyl groups. No evidence for a ruthenium-mediated (through-metal) electronic interaction between potassium species and adsorbed hydrogen was found. During catalyst preparation, potassium was incorporated on the support by an exchange with t...
Structure sensitivity of selective CO oxidation over Pt/gamma-Al2O3 Atalik, B.; Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-25) In this study, the effect of particle size on the reaction rate and selectivity of preferential oxidation of CO (PROX) reaction was investigated on 2 wt% Pt/-Al2O3 catalysts prepared by an incipient wetness technique. The particle size of the catalysts was modified by calcination temperature and duration. CO oxidation and preferential CO oxidation reaction were studied on these catalysts at lambda = 2 (P-O2/P-CO) = 1. The CO oxidation reaction activation energy decreased with increasing particle size, consi...
Structure sensitive hydrogen adsorption: Effect of Ag on Ru/SiO2 catalysts Savargaonkar, N; Narayan, RL; Pruski, M; Üner, Deniz; King, TS (Elsevier BV, 1998-08-15) The dynamics and energetics of hydrogen chemisorption on silica-supported ruthenium and ruthenium-silver bimetallic catalysts were studied by H-1 NMR spectroscopy and microcalorimetry. It was observed that the amount of hydrogen adsorbed on Ru particles having intermediate and low heats of adsorption was significantly reduced with increasing amounts of silver. The desorption and adsorption rate constants, determined from selective excitation NMR experiments, were lower on Ru-Ag catalysts than those on Ru ca...
Effect of hydrogen ion-exchange capacity on activity of resin catalysts in tert-amyl-ethyl-ether synthesis Boz, N; Doğu, Timur; Murtezaoglu, K; Dogu, G (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-10) Activities of ion-exchange resin catalysts, having different hydrogen exchange capacities ranging between 5.1 and 1.3 meq H+/g, on the etherification reactions of 2M1B (2-methyl-1-butene) and 2M2B (2-methyl-2-butene) with ethanol were experimentally tested in a fixed bed reactor. These catalysts were prepared by the heat treatment of Amberlyst-15 catalysts at 220 degreesC at different durations of time and also by the synthesis of sulfonated styrene divinyl benzene cross-linked resins. Activity of these cat...
