It reports how to increase the overall catalytic performance of precious platinum nanocatalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane which requires enhancement of both catalytic activity and reusability of the nanocatalysts as well as the fraction of active sites over the total platinum atoms. The following approaches are reported for increasing the utilization efficiency of platinum-based nanocatalysts: (i) The use of colloidal nanoparticles is an efficient way of increasing catalytic activity. However, colloidal platinum(0) nanoparticles are unstable against agglomeration and therefore not reusable. (ii) Supporting the platinum(0) nanoparticles on large surface area materials can increase their stability. Carbonaceous support materials provide moderate activity for platinum(0) nanoparticles but not stability because of the weak metal-support interaction. (iii) Selecting suitable oxide support can help in increasing the catalytic efficiency of platinum nanocatalysts. Particularly, using reducible oxides as support provides a favorable metal-support interaction leading to a notable increase in the catalytic activity and stability of platinum(0) nanoparticles. (iv) The utilization efficiency of the precious platinum nanocatalysts can be significantly enhanced by downsizing the nanoparticles and lowering the relative amount of platinum down to single-atom; that is, using the single-atom platinum nanocatalyst which, however, is limited by the amount of platinum as it cannot be increased because of unavoidable agglomeration. (v) The reusability of platinum(0) nanoparticles can be increased by using magnetic powder materials as support. Thus, the magnetically separable Pt-0/CoFe2O4 and Pt-0/Co3O4 nanoparticles possess superior catalytic activity plus outstanding reusability and hence, provide significant enhancement in catalytic performance or utilization efficiency of platinum(0) nanocatalysts in the evolution of H-2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Consequently, all these ultimately lower the cost of platinum nanocatalysts.

Cobalt ferrite supported platinum nanoparticles: Superb catalytic activity and outstanding reusability in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2021-08-15) In this work, platinum(0) nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of magnetic cobalt ferrite forming magnetically separable Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, which are efficient catalysts in H-2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Catalytic activity of Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles decreases with the increasing platinum loading, parallel to the average particle size. Pt-0/CoFe2O4 (0.23% wt. Pt) nanoparticles have an average diameter of 2.30 +/- 0.47 nm and show an extraordinary turnover frequency of...
Palladium nanoparticles supported on cobalt(II,III) oxide nanocatalyst: High reusability and outstanding catalytic activity in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2022-11-01) A new palladium(0) nanocatalyst is developed to enhance the catalytic efficiency of precious metal catalysts in hydrogen generation from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Magnetically separable Pd-0/Co3O4 nanocatalyst can readily be obtained by the reduction of palladium(II) cations impregnated on cobalt(II, III) oxide at room temperature. The obtained Pd-0/Co3O4 nanocatalyst with 0.25% wt. palladium loading has outstanding catalytic activity with a record turnover frequency of 3048 min(-1) ...
Ceria supported rhodium nanoparticles: Superb catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Tonbul, Yalcin; Özkar, Saim (2016-12-05) We investigated the effect of various oxide supports on the catalytic activity of rhodium nanoparticles in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Among the oxide supports (CeO2, SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2) ceria provides the highest catalytic activity for the rhodium(0) nanoparticles in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Rh-0/CeO2) were prepared by the impregnation of rhodium(III) ions on the surface of ceria followed by their reduction ...
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...

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...
