Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 54Atomic Layer Deposition-sio2 Layers Protected Pdconi Nanoparticles Supported on Tio2 Nanopowders: Exceptionally Stable Nanocatalyst for the Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Caner, Nurdan; Bulut, Ahmet; Yurderi, Mehmet; Ertas, Ilknur Efecan; Kivrak, Hilal; Kaya, Murat; Zahmakiran, MehmetTiO2 nanopowders supported trimetallic PdCoNi alloy nanoparticles were simply and reproducibly prepared by wet-impregnation followed by simultaneous reduction method, then to enhance their stability against to sintering and leaching atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique was utilized to grow SiO2 layers amongst these surface bound PdCoNi alloy nanoparticles (PdCoNi/TiO2-ALD-SiO2). These new nanomaterials are characterized by the combination of complimentary techniques and sum of their results exhibited that the formation of ALD-SiO2 layers protected well-dispersed and highly crystalline PdCoNi alloy nanoparticles (ca. 3.52 nm) supported on TiO2 nanopowders. The catalytic performance of the resulting PdCoNi/TiO2-ALD-SiO2 in terms of activity, selectivity and stability was investigated in the dehydrogenation of aqueous formic acid (HCOOH), which has recently been suggested as a promising hydrogen storage material with a 4.4 wt% hydrogen capacity, solution under mild conditions. The results collected from our systematic studies revealed that PdCoNi/TiO2-ALD-SiO2 nanomaterial can act as highly active and selective nanocatalyst in the formic acid dehydrogenation at room temperature by providing an initial turnover frequency (TOF) value of 207 mol H-2/mol metal;: h and >99% of dehydrogenation selectivity at almost complete conversion. More importantly, the catalytic reusability experiments separately carried out with PdCoNi/TiO2-ALD-SiO2 and PdCoNi/TiO2 nanocatalysts in the dehydrogenation of formic acid under more forcing conditions pointed out that PdCoNi/TiO2-ALD-SiO2 nanocatalyst displays unprecedented catalytic stability against to leaching and sintering throughout the reusability experiments it retains almost its inherent activity, selectivity and conversion even at 20th reuse, whereas analogous PdCoNi/TiO2 completely lost its catalytic performance.

The characterization of the resulting new material was done by using various analytical techniques including ICP-OES, P-XRD, N-2-adsorption-desorption, XPS, FE-SEM, SEM-EDX, BFTEM and HAADF-STEM; the summation of their results reveals that the formation of well-dispersed and very small sized (0.8 nm) copper nanoparticles within nanocrystalline MIL-101 framework. The catalytic performance of Cu/nano-MIL-101 in terms of activity and stability was tested in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of methylamine borane (CH3NH2BH3), which has been considered as one of the attractive materials for the efficient chemical hydrogen storage. Cu/nano-MIL-101 catalyzes the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of methylamine borane with high activity (turnover frequency; TOF = 257 mot H-2/mol Cu x h) and conversion ( > 99%) under air at room temperature. Moreover, these nano-MIL-101 framework stabilized copper nanoparticles show great durability against to sintering and leaching, which make Cu/nano-MIL-101 reusable nanocatalyst in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of methylamine-borane. Cu/nano-MIL-101 nanocatalyst retains 83% of its inherent activity at complete conversion even at 10th recycle in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of methylamine borane.Article Citation - WoS: 150Citation - Scopus: 152Pd-mnox< Nanoparticles Dispersed on Amine-Grafted Silica: Highly Efficient Nanocatalyst for Hydrogen Production From Additive-Free Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid Under Mild Conditions(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Bulut, Ahmet; Yurderi, Mehmet; Karatas, Yasar; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Kivrak, Hilal; Gulcan, Mehmet; Kaya, MuratHerein we report the development of a new highly active, selective and reusable nanocatalyst for additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid (HCOOH), which has great potential as a safe and convenient hydrogen carrier for fuel cells, under mild conditions. The new catalyst system consisting of bimetallic Pd-MnOx nanoparticles supported on aminopropyl functionalized silica (Pd-MnOx/SiO2-NH2) was simply and reproducibly prepared by deposition-reduction technique in water at room temperature. The characterization of Pd-mnO(x)/SiO2-NH2 catalyst was done by the combination of multipronged techniques, which reveals that the existence of highly crystalline individually nucleated Pd(0) and MnOx nanoparticles (d(mean) = 4.6 +/- 1.2 nm) on the surface of aminopropyl functionalized silica. These supported Pd-MnOx nanoparticles can catalyze the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid with record activity (TOF = 1300 h(-1)) at high selectivity (>99%) and conversion (>99%) under mild conditions (at 50 degrees C and under air). Moreover, easy recovery plus high durability of these supported Pd-MnOx nanoparticles make them a reusable heterogeneous catalyst in the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid.

The characterization of the resulting material was done by the combination of complimentary techniques and the sum of their results shows that the formation of well-dispersed 5.6 +/- 2.2 nm PdNiAg nanoparticles in alloy form on the surface of activated carbon. These carbon supported PdNiAg nanoparticles were employed as heterogeneous catalyst in the catalytic decomposition of formic acid, which has great potential as a safe and convenient hydrogen carrier for fuel cells, under mild conditions. It was found that PdNiAg/C can catalyze the dehydrogenation of formic acid with high selectivity (similar to 100%) and activity (TOF = 85 h(-1)) at 50 degrees C. More importantly, the exceptional stability of PdNiAg nanoparticles against to agglomeration, leaching and CO poisoning make PdNiAg/C reusable catalyst in the formic acid dehydrogenation. PdNiAg/C catalyst retains almost its inherent activity (>94%) even at 5th reuse in the dehydrogenation of formic acid with high selectivity (similar to 100%) at complete conversion. The work reported here also includes the compilation of kinetic data for PdNiAg/C catalyzed dehydrogenation of formic acid depending on catalyst [PdNiAg], substrate [HCOOH], promoter [HCOONa] concentrations and temperature to determine the rate expression and the activation parameters (Ea, Delta H-#, and Delta S-#) of the catalytic reaction.
