Article Citation Count: 25Amine-functionalized graphene nanosheet-supported PdAuNi alloy nanoparticles: efficient nanocatalyst for formic acid dehydrogenation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Kaya, Murat; Yurderi,M.; Kaya,M.; Aydemir,M.; Baysal,A.; Durap,F.; Zahmakiran,M.; Chemical EngineeringFormic acid (HCOOH), a major by-product of biomass processing with high energy density, stability and non-toxicity, has a great potential as a safe and a convenient liquid hydrogen (H2) storage material for combustion engines and fuel cell applications. However, high-purity hydrogen release from the catalytic decomposition of aqueous formic acid solution at desirable rates under mild conditions stands as a major challenge that needs to be solved for the practical use of formic acid in on-demand hydrogen generation systems. Described herein is a new nanocatalyst system comprised of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-functionalized graphene nanosheet-supported PdAuNi alloy nanoparticles (PdAuNi/f-GNS), which can reproducibly be prepared by following double solvent method combined with liquid-phase chemical reduction, all at room temperature. PdAuNi/f-GNS selectively catalyzes the decomposition of aqueous formic acid through the dehydrogenation pathway (∼100% H2 selectivity), in the absence of any promoting additives (alkali formates, Brønsted bases, Lewis bases, etc.). PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst provides CO-free H2 generation with a turnover frequency of 1090 mol H2 mol metal−1 h−1 in the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid at almost complete conversion (≥92%) even at room temperature. The catalytic activity provided by PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst is higher than those obtained with the heterogeneous catalysts reported to date for the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid. Moreover, PdAuNi/f-GNS nanoparticles show high durability against sintering, clumping and leaching throughout the catalytic runs, so that the PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst retains almost its inherent catalytic activity and selectivity at the end of the 10th recycle. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.Book Part Citation Count: 1Nanocatalytic Architecture for the Selective Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid(wiley, 2021) Kaya, Murat; Kanberoglu,G.S.; Yurderi,M.; Bulut,A.; Celebi,M.; Kaya,M.; Zahmakiran,M.; Chemical EngineeringFormic acid (HCOOH) is a main by-product formed through many biomass processes and has recently been proposed as one of the most promising liquid organic hydrogen carrier material in the chemical hydrogen storage for the fuel cell applications. However, efficient hydrogen (H2) generation through catalytic formic acid dehydrogenation under mild thermodynamic conditions constitutes a major challenge because poisoning of active metal center exists in catalytic systems with carbon monoxide (CO) formed as an intermediate. In this chapter, we focus on the research advances on the formic acid dehydrogenation in the presence of different nanocatalysts including monometallic, bimetallic, and trimetallic nanoparticles in the form of alloy, core@shell, and physical mixture. The main advantages and drawbacks of these systems are presented by comparing their catalytic performances depending on additives, solvents, and temperature parameters. Additionally, the morphology, structure, and composition of these nanocatalysts as well as their synthesis protocols are discussed, and new synthesis strategies are proposed to enhance the catalytic performance of nanocatalysts in the formic acid dehydrogenation. © 2021 WILEY-VCH GmbH, Boschstr. 12, 69469 Weinheim, Germany.
