The development of a new platinum nanocatalyst to maximize the catalytic efficiency of the precious noble metal catalyst in releasing hydrogen from ammonia borane (AB) is reported. Platinum(0) nanoparticles are impregnated on a reducible cobalt(II,III) oxide surface, forming magnetically isolable Pt0/Co3O4 nanocatalysts, which have (i) superb catalytic activity providing a record turnover frequency (TOF) of 4366 min-1 for hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of AB at room temperature and (ii) excellent reusability, retaining the complete catalytic activity even after the 10th run of hydrolysis reaction. The outstanding activity and stability of the catalyst can be ascribed to the strong interaction between the platinum(0) nanoparticles and reducible cobalt oxide, which is supported by the results of XPS analysis. Pt0/Co3O4 exhibits the highest TOF among the reported platinum-nanocatalysts developed for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB.

Graphene oxide/magnesium oxide nanocomposite: A novel catalyst for ozonation of phenol from wastewater
Heidarizad, Mahdi; Şengör, Sema Sevinç (2017-01-01)
Catalytic ozonation is a promising advanced oxidation technique for the removal of contaminants from water and wastewater. Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxidized derivative of graphene which contains epoxide, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups with high surface area, and is being recently used for effective adsorption of pollutants in aquatic environments. In our previous work, we modified GO with magnesium oxide (MgO) and demonstrated the high-rate adsorption of methylene blue (MB) by the synthesized nanocomposite ...

DURAP, FEYYAZ; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2009-09-01)
The simplest amine-borane, considered as solid hydrogen storage material, ammonia-borane (H(3)NBH(3)) can release hydrogen gas upon catalytic hydrolysis under mild conditions. Herein, we report the preparation of a novel catalyst, water dispersible laurate-stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters from the dimethylamine-borane reduction of ruthenium(III) chloride in sodium laurate solution at room temperature. The ruthenium nanoclusters in average size of 2.6 +/- 1.2 nm were isolated from the solution and well c...
Kinetics of hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of sodium borohydride on Pt/C catalyst in a flow reactor
Boran, Asli; Erkan, Serdar; Özkar, Saim; Eroglu, Inci (Wiley, 2013-04-01)
Here, we report the results of a kinetic study on the hydrogen generation from the catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride in a differential flow reactor. As catalyst platinum supported on carbon (Pt/C) was used in two forms: either as powder or coated on carbon cloth. For optimization of the system several parameters such as sodium hydroxide concentration, sodium borohydride concentration and the flow rate of the feed solution were varied. It was found that the H2 generation rate increases with an incre...
