Cobalt(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Co-0/CeO2) were prepared from the reduction of cobalt(II) ions impregnated on the surface of ceria nanopowders. 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.

Nanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles: Highly active and reusable catalyst in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane Tonbul, Yalcin; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2018-03-01) Nanozirconia 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 cat...
Nanoceria-Supported Ruthenium(0) Nanoparticles: Highly Active and Stable Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution from Water Demir Arabacı, Elif; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-02-21) Ruthenium(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 ...
Nanoalumina supported palladium(0) nanoparticle catalyst for releasing H-2 from dimethylamine borane KARABOĞA, SEDA; Özkar, Saim (2019-09-01) Palladium(II) 2,4-pentanedionate, impregnated on alumina nanopowder, was reduced by dimethylamine borane (DMAB) forming Pd(0) nanoparticles (NPs) at room temperature. Pd(0) NPs could be isolated from solution and characterized by ATR-IR, UV-vis, XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and BET. The results obtained from TEM images reveal the formation of palladium(0) nanoparticles on gamma-alumina, having a mean particle size of 7.1 +/- 2.6 nm. Alumina supported Pd(0) NPs with various metal loadings were employed as catalyst in ...
Nanoceria supported palladium(0) nanoparticles: Superb catalyst in dehydrogenation of formic acid at room temperature Akbayrak, Serdar; TONBUL, YALÇIN; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2017-06-05) Highly efficient dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) at room temperature was achieved using palladium(0) nanoparticles supported on nanoceria (Pd-0/CeO2) as catalysts. Pd-0/CeO2 was prepared by impregnation of palladium(II) ions on the surface of ceria followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous solution at room temperature.
