Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on the surface of titania nanospheres (Ru(0)/TiO2) were in situ generated from the reduction of ruthenium(III) ions impregnated on nanotitania during the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. They were isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by a combination of advanced analytical techniques. The results reveal that highly dispersed ruthenium(0) nanoparticles of size in the range 1.5-3.3 nm were formed on the surface of titania nanospheres. Ru(0)/TiO2 show high catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with a turnover frequency value up to 241 min(-1) at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. They provide unprecedented catalytic lifetime measured by total turnover number (TTO = 71,500) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. The report also includes the results of kinetic study on the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane depending on the temperature to determine the activation energy of the reaction (E-a = 70 +/- 2 kJ/mol) and the catalyst concentration to establish the rate law of the reaction.

Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on silica coated Fe3O4 as magnetically separable catalysts for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Sarica, Esra; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-09)
Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on bare or silica-coated magnetite are prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(III) ions followed by their reduction with aqueous solution of sodium borohydride on the surface of support. These magnetically isolable catalysts are used in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. They conserve their initial catalytic activity even after the fifth reuse in the hydrolysis reaction, Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on bare magnetite and...

Oleylamine-stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were in situ generated from the reduction of ruthenium(III) chloride by dimethylamine-borane during its dehydrogenation at room temperature. Nearly monodispersed ruthenium(0) nanoparticles of 1.8 +/- 0.7 nm size were reproducibly isolated from the reaction solution by filtration and characterized by TEM, XRD, HRTEM, B-11 NMR, ATR-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. Oleylamine-stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoparticles are highly active catalyst in hydrogen generation ...

Ozhava, Derya; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2015-09-07)
Rhodium(0) nanoparticles, supported on nanosized hydroxyapatite (Rh(0)/nanoHAP), were prepared by ion exchange of Rh+3 ions with Ca+2 ions of hydroxyapatite, followed by reduction of the resulting Rh+3/nanoHAP precatalyst during the catalytic methanolysis of ammonia borane (AB) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen phosphate (TBAP) at room temperature. Rh(0)/nanoHAP were characterized by a combination of advance analytical techniques including ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, EDX, XPS, ATR-IR and N-2 adsorptio...
Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) stabilized nickel(0) nanoparticles: Highly active and cost effective catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane
Sencanli, Selin; Karahan, Senem; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-13)
When hydrazine borane is added to the solution of nickel(II) chloride and poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid), PSSMA, both reduction of nickel(II) ions to nickel(0) nanoparticles and hydrogen release from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane occur concomitantly at room temperature. Using the hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of hydrazine borane as reporter reaction provides valuable insights to the formation kinetics of nickel(0) nanoparticles. Nickel(0) nanoparticles are in situ formed from the ...
Group 4 oxides supported Rhodium(0) catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane
Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2019-05-01)
Rh3+ ions are first impregnated on Group 4 metal oxides (TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2) in aqueous solution and, then reduced with aqueous solution of NaBH4 to form rhodium(0) nanoparticles (NPs) on the oxide surface. The analyses reveal that Rh(0) NPs are highly dispersed on the surface of TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2. Rh-0/MO2 (M: Ti, Zr, Hf) NPs have high activity and reusability in releasing H-2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with an initial turnover frequency of 643, 198, and 188 min(-1), respectively, at 25.0 +/- 0.1 d...
