Öğe Activated carbon derived from tea waste: A promising supporting material for metal nanoparticles used as catalysts in hydrolysis of ammonia borane(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozcifci, Zehra; Tabak, AhmetActivated carbons with high porosity and high surface area are promising materials to be used in wide-range applications. They can easily be prepared from various biomass source following by simple and reproducible activation and carbonization steps. In this study, the woody part of tea which is highly available tea waste after the harvesting of tea leaves is considered as the precursor of highly porous activated carbon. In fact, activated carbon with well-ordered porous structure (micropore area = 1614.3 m(2) g(-1), micropore volume = 1.13 cm(3) g(-1)) and high surface area (2559 m(2) g(-1)) was achieved using this tea waste. The obtained activated carbon was used to support cobalt, nickel and copper nanoparticles which were used as catalysts in H-2 generation from aqueous ammonia borane. The results reveal that Co nanoparticles with an average particle size of 3.18 nm on activated carbon provide higher activity (TOF = 7.5 min(-1)) as compared to nickel (TOF = 4.8 min(-1)) and copper nanoparticles in this reaction. Herein, we report also the kinetic studies including the effect of temperature, metal concentration and metal loading on the catalytic activity in hydrolysis of ammonia borane.Öğe Ammonia borane as hydrogen storage materials(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozkar, SaintAmmonia borane is an appropriate solid hydrogen storage material because of its high hydrogen content of 19.6% wt., high stability under ambient conditions, nontoxicity, and high solubility in common solvents. Hydrolysis of ammonia borane appears to be the most efficient way of releasing hydrogen stored in it. Since ammonia borane is relatively stable against hydrolysis in aqueous solution, its hydrolytic dehydrogenation can be achieved at an appreciable rate only in the presence of suitable catalyst at room temperature. Metal(0) nanoparticles have high initial catalytic activity in releasing H-2 from ammonia borane. Thermodynamically instable metal(0) nanoparticles can kinetically be stabilized against agglomeration either by using ligands in solution or by supporting on the surface of solid materials with large surface area in solid state. Examples of both type of stabilization are presented from our own studies. The results show that metal(0) nanoparticles dispersed in solution or supported on suitable solid materials with large surface area can catalyze the release of H-2 from ammonia borane at room temperature. Dispersion of metal(0) nano particles, stabilized in liquid phase by anions or polymers, seems advantageous as providing more active sites compared to the metal nanoparticles supported on a solid surface. However, the supported metal nanoparticles are found to be more stable against agglomeration than the ones dispersed in liquid phase. Therefore, metal nanoparticles supported on solid materials have usually longer lifetime than the ones dispersed in solution. Examples are given from the own literature to show how to improve the catalytic activity and durability of metal nanoparticles by selecting suitable stabilizer or supporting materials for certain metal. For the time being, nanoceria supported rhodium(0) nano particles are the most active catalyst providing a turnover frequency of 2010 min(-1) in releasing H-2 from ammonia borane at room temperature.

Ru-0/CeO2 on GCE exhibits high catalytic activity for OER in alkaline solution. It provides a low onset potential of 1.57 V vs. RHE and low overpotential of 420 mV vs. RHE to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2). Ru-0/CeO2 on GCE shows no change in the onset potential value even after 6.1 h electrochemical measurement in OER. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.

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 3628 min(-1) in releasing 3.0 equivalent H-2 per mole of ammonia borane from the hydrolysis at 25.0 degrees C. Moreover, the magnetically separable Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles possess high reusability retaining 100% of their initial catalytic activity even after ten runs of hydrolysis. The superb catalytic activity and outstanding reusability make the Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles very attractive catalysts for the hydrogen generation systems in portable and stationary fuel cell applications.

Therefore, dehydrogenation of FA using catalysts has attracted considerable attention. However, it is still a challenge to find a selective and active catalyst for this reaction. Bimetallic AgPd nanoparticles are well known combination to obtain efficient catalysts for the dehydrogenation of FA. Therefore, many efforts have been devoted on finding suitable supporting materials to increase the efficiency of AgPd NPs in dehydrogenation of FA. In this study, tungsten(VI) oxide, WO3 was used as a supporting material due to its multiple oxidation states which play an important role for obtaining highly efficient catalyst. Herein, bimetallic AgPd nanoparticles supported on WO 3 were successfully prepared. The activity of AgPcl/WO3 catalysts with different Ag loading was tested in dehydrogenation of FA in presence of sodium formate at 50.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Ag0.25Pd/WO3 catalyst with a TOF value of 683 h(-1) exhibited high activity in this reaction. In addition, the effect of sodium formate on the decomposition of formic acid was investigated in detail.

The resulting heterogeneous and magnetically recoverable nanoscale catalyst MoO3(sal-phz)/Fe3O4 was characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The activity of this heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of olefins to corresponding epoxides was efficiently increased by increasing the reaction temperature up to 95 degrees C. The nanocatalyst proved to be efficient for the selective epoxidation of a variety of alkenes using t-BuOOH with high conversion and selectivity. Leaching and recycling tests showed that the nanocatalyst can be reused at least six times without significant decrease in efficiency.Öğe Group 4 oxides supported Rhodium(0) catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozkar, SaimRh3+ 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 degrees C. The reusability of Rh-0/ZrO2 and Rh-0/HfO2 catalysts is higher than that of the Rh-0/TiO2 catalyst. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The textural property of supported material was found to retain important mesoporous features, compatible with its potential use as heterogeneous catalysts. The catalyst SBA-15-NH3+center dot{Mo-36}(-)shows excellent catalytic activity for the epoxidation of alkenes as compared to POM, which is attributed to the large specific surface area and highly ordered pore structure of SBA-15, allowing for easy access of reactants to the active sites and removal of products. The prepared catalyst has high recyclability performance without obvious loss of activity after six runs of epoxidation.Öğe Magnetically Isolable Pt0/Co3O4 Nanocatalysts: Outstanding Catalytic Activity and High Reusability in Hydrolytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane(Amer Chemical Soc, 2021) Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozkar, SaimThe 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 Pt-0/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. Pt-0/Co3O4 exhibits the highest TOF among the reported platinum-nanocatalysts developed for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of AB.Öğe Magnetically Separable Rh0/Co3O4 Nanocatalyst Provides over a Million Turnovers in Hydrogen Release from Ammonia Borane(Amer Chemical Soc, 2020) Akbayrak, Serdar; Tonbul, Yalcin; Ozkar, SaimCobalt(II,III) oxide nanopowders are used as supporting materials for rhodium(0) nanoparticles forming Rh-0/Co3O4 nanocatalysts, which can be prepared by impregnation and sodium borohydride reduction of Rh3+ ions on the surface of the oxide support. Magnetically separable Rh-0/Co3O4 nanoparticles are isolated from the reaction medium by an external magnet and characterized using various analytical techniques. Rh-0/Co3O4 nanoparticles are highly active and reusable catalysts with a long lifetime in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at room temperature. Rh-0/Co3O4 nanoparticles with 0.5% wt Rh loading provide a turnover frequency of 1800 min(-1) and a total of 1.02 x 10(6) turnovers for H-2 evolution from the hydrolysis of AB at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. This turnover frequency is the second best value ever reported for the hydrolysis of AB, and the total turnover number of over a million is a record lifetime ever reported. Magnetically separable rhodium(0) nanoparticles are expectedly highly reusable catalysts and preserve their initial activity after the fifth run of hydrolysis. We also report the results of our study on the catalytic activity of Co3O4 nanopowders for the same dehydrogenation reaction.Öğe Magnetically separable rhodium nanoparticles as catalysts for releasing hydrogen from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019) Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozkar, SaimMagnetically separable catalysts attract considerable attention in catalysis due to their facile separation from the reaction medium. This propensity is crucial for efficient multiple use of precious noble metal nanoparticles in catalysis. In fact, the isolation of catalysts from the reaction medium by filtration and washing results usually in the loss of huge amount of activity in the subsequent run of catalysis. Although many transition metal nanoparticle catalysts have been reported for the H-2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane, there is no study reporting the magnetically separable rhodium based catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Here, we report the preparation of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on the surface of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 magnetic nanopowders as the first example of magnetically separable rhodium nanocatalysts. The resulting magnetically separable Rh-0/Fe3O4 and Rh-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles are highly active, long-lived and reusable catalysts in H-2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane providing a turnover frequency value of 273 and 720 min(-1), respectively, at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. These magnetically separable catalysts show high reusability and long-term stability in the hydrolysis reaction. They retain their complete initial activity even after the 5th use releasing exactly 3.0 equivalent H-2 gas per mole of ammonia borane. The long-term stability tests show that Rh-0/Fe3O4 and Rh-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles provide a total turnover number of 125,000 and 245,000, respectively, in releasing H-2 from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The long term stability and reusability of magnetically separable Rh-0/Fe3O4 and Rh-0/CoFe2O4 nanopartides make them attractive catalysts for hydrogen generation in fuel cell applications.

The magnetic Co-0/CeO2 catalyst could be isolated from the reaction solution by using a magnet and characterized by using ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, EDX, BET and XPS techniques. The results reveal that cobalt nanoparticles with particle sizes in the range between 3.5 and 6.0 nm were successfully anchored on the surface of nanoceria. Co-0/CeO2 is a magnetically separable and reusable catalyst in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane retaining its initial catalytic activity (TOF = 7.0 min(-1)) even after the fifth use. For comparison, other non-noble metal nanoparticles were also supported on nanoceria. Ni-0/CeO2 and Cu-0/CeO2 provide TOF values of 1.7 min(-1) and 1.5 min(-1), respectively, while Fe-0/CeO2 is catalytically silent in the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at room temperature. The work reported here also includes the results of a kinetic study of the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane depending on the temperature and catalyst concentration.Öğe Nanoceria-Supported Ruthenium(0) Nanoparticles: Highly Active and Stable Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution from Water(Amer Chemical Soc, 2018) Demir, Elif; Akbayrak, Serdar; Onal, Ahmet M.; Ozkar, SaimRuthenium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Ru-0/CeO2) were prepared by reduction of Ru3+ ions on the surface of ceria using aqueous solution of NaBH4. The Ru-0/CeO2 samples were characterized by advanced analytical tools and employed as electrocatalysts on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in hydrogen evolution from water. The GCE, modified by Ru-0/CeO2 (1.86 wt % Ru), provides an incredible electrocatalytic activity with a high exchange current density of 0.67 mA.cm(-2), low overpotential of 47 mV at j = 10 mA.cm(-2), and small Tafel slope of 41 mV.dec(-1). Moreover, this modified GCE provides an unprecedented long-term stability without changing the onset potential (33 mV) even after 10 000 scans in acidic water splitting at room temperature. The hydrogen gas, evolved during the water splitting using the Ru-0/CeO2 (1.86 wt % Ru) electrocatalyst, was also collected. The amount of the evolved H-2 gas matches well with the calculated value, which indicates the achievement of nearly 100% Faradaic efficiency.Öğe Nanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles: Highly active and reusable catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018) Tonbul, Yalcin; Akbayrak, Serdar; Ozkar, SaimNanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles (Ru-0/ZrO2) were prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(III) cations on the surface of zirconia followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride at room temperature. Ru-0/ZrO2 was isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM EDS and XPS techniques. All the results reveal that ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were successfully supported on zirconia and the resulting Ru-0/ZrO2 is a highly active and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with a turnover frequency value of 173 min(-1) at 25 degrees C. The reusability and catalytic lifetime tests reveal that Ru-0/ZrO2 is still active in the subsequent runs of hydrolysis of ammonia borane preserving 67% of the initial catalytic activity even after the fifth run and Ru-0/ZrO2 provides 72,500 turnovers (mol H-2/mol Ru) before deactivation at 25 degrees C.

Ni-0/CoFe2O4 (4.0% wt. Ni) shows the highest catalytic activity with a TOF value of 38.3 min(-1) in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. However, the initial catalytic activity of Ni-0/NCoFe204 catalyst is not preserved in subsequent runs of hydrolysis. Coating the surface of cobalt ferrite support with polydopamine or silica leads to a significant improvement in the stability of catalysts. The TOF values of Ni-0/PDA-CoFe2O4 and Ni-0/(2)-CoFe2O4 are found to be 7.6 and 5.3 min(-1), respectively, at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Ni-0/PDA-CoFe2O4 catalyst shows high reusability as compared to the Ni-0/CoFe2O4 and NP0/SiO2-CoFe2O4 catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane at room temperature. All the catalysts are characterized by using a combination of various advanced analytical techniques.

In this work, Rh3+, Ru3+, Pd2+ ions were impregnated on activated carbon derived from pumpkin stalk in distilled water and then reduced with sodium borohydride to form Rh-0, Ru-0, Pd-0 nanoparticles on the surface of carbon. The analyses show that these nanoparticles were successfully dispersed on the activated carbon. Rh-0, Ru-0, Pd-0 nanoparticles on activated carbon provide a turnover frequency value of 188 min(-1), 235 min(-1) and 40 min(-1), respectively, at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C.

The resulting material was characterized by FT-IR, TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, ICP-AES, BET and UV-vis spectroscopy. The heterogeneous catalyst [MoO(O-2)(2)(phox)]/SBA-15 was employed in the epoxidation of alkenes, exhibiting high catalytic performance and selectivity for epoxide similar to that of homogeneous catalyst, [MoO(O-2)(2)(Phox)] under solvent-free conditions. Finally, it was found that the heterogeneous catalyst had virtually no degree of leaching, which allowed its recyclability to nine cycles without loss of catalytic performance. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

The CdS-NiFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light illumination. In addition to improved photocatalytic performance, this prepared nanocomposite shows increased photostability and is magnetically separable from the aqueous media. The degradation rate constant (k(app)) of the optimized photocatalyst, i.e. CdS-NiFe2O4 (0.05)/rGO 25wt% nanocomposite, was higher than the corresponding CdS and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles by factors of 11.1 and 8.9, respectively. The synergistic interactions between CdS, NiFe2O4 and rGO lead to enhanced surface area, reduced aggregation of the nanoparticles, decreased the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and increased the charge separation efficiency and effective electron-hole generation transfer. According to the obtained results, a proposed mechanism of the photodegradation of MB under visible light irradiation is finally mentioned.Öğe Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on ceria as catalysts in hydrogenation of neat benzene at room temperature(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018) Akbayrak, SerdarRhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on ceria (Rh NPs/CeO2) were prepared from the reduction of Rh3+ ions on the surface of ceria in aqueous medium.
