Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Chromium Based Metal-Organic Framework Mil-101 Decorated Palladium Nanoparticles for the Methanolysis of Ammonia-Borane(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2020) Caner, Nurdan; Yurderi, Mehmet; Bulut, Ahmet; Kanberoglu, Gulsah Saydan; Kaya, Murat; Zahmakiran, MehmetPalladium nanoparticles stabilized by an MIL-101 metal-organic framework (Pd@MIL-101) are synthesized by a novel synthesis approach. A Pd@MIL-101 catalyst facilitates H(2)generation from the methanolysis of ammonia-borane with record catalytic activity (TOF = 1080 min(-1)) at room temperature. Moreover, the exceptional stability of Pd@MIL-101 makes it a reusable heterogeneous catalyst in this catalytic transformation.Article Citation - WoS: 80Citation - Scopus: 82Amine Grafted Silica Supported Craupd Alloy Nanoparticles: Superb Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Room Temperature Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2015) Yurderi, Mehmet; Bulut, Ahmet; Caner, Nurdan; Celebi, Metin; Kaya, Murat; Zahmakiran, MehmetHerein we show that a previously unappreciated combination of CrAuPd alloy nanoparticles and amine-grafted silica support facilitates the liberation of CO-free H-2 from dehydrogenation of formic acid with record activity in the absence of any additives at room temperature. Furthermore, their excellent catalytic stability makes them isolable and reusable heterogeneous catalysts in the formic acid dehydrogenation.Article Citation - WoS: 29Amine-Functionalized Graphene Nanosheet-Supported Pdauni Alloy Nanoparticles: Efficient Nanocatalyst for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018) Bulut, Ahmet; Yurderi, Mehmet; Kaya, Murat; Aydemir, Murat; Baysal, Akin; Durap, Feyyaz; Zahmakiran, MehmetFormic 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 (H-2) 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 (similar to 100% H-2 selectivity), in the absence of any promoting additives (alkali formates, Bronsted bases, Lewis bases, etc.). PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst provides CO-free H-2 generation with a turnover frequency of 1090 mol H-2 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.
