MoO₃-Doped MnCo₂O₄ Microspheres Consisting of Nanosheets: An Inexpensive Nanostructured Catalyst to Hydrolyze Ammonia Borane for Hydrogen Generation. NANOMATERIALS 2018; 9:nano9010021. [PMID: 30586914 PMCID: PMC6359025 DOI: 10.3390/nano9010021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2018] [Revised: 12/12/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Production of hydrogen by catalytically hydrolyzing ammonia borane (AB) has attracted extensive attention in the field of catalysis and energy. However, it is still a challenge to develop a both inexpensive and active catalyst for AB hydrolysis. In this work, we designed a series of MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (x) catalysts, which were fabricated by a hydrothermal process. The morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical components of the catalysts were systematically analyzed. The catalytic behavior of the catalyst in AB hydrolysis was investigated. Among these catalysts, MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (0.10) microspheres composed of nanosheets exhibited the highest catalytic activity. The apparent activation energy is 34.24 kJ mol−1 and the corresponding turnover frequency is 26.4 molhydrogen min−1 molcat−1. Taking into consideration the low cost and high performance, the MoO3-doped MnCo2O4 (0.10) microspheres composed of nanosheets represent a promising catalyst to hydrolyze AB for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Highly dispersed Pt-CeO2 hybrids arched on reduced graphene oxide (Pt-CeO2 /rGO) were facilely synthesized by a combination of the reverse micelle technique and a redox reaction without any additional reductant or surfactant. Under a N2 atmosphere, the redox reaction between Ce3+ and Pt2+ occurs automatically in alkaline solution, which results in the formation of Pt-CeO2 /rGO nanocomposites (NCs). The as-synthesized Pt-CeO2 /rGO NCs exhibit superior catalytic performance relative to that shown by the free Pt nanoparticles, Pt/rGO, Pt-CeO2 hybrid, and the physical mixture of Pt-CeO2 and rGO; furthermore, the nanocomposites show significantly better activity than the commercial Pt/C catalyst toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (NH3 BH3 ) at room temperature. Moreover, the Pt-CeO2 /rGO NCs have remarkable stability, and 92 % of their initial catalytic activity is preserved even after 10 runs. The excellent activity of the Pt-CeO2 /rGO NCs can be attributed not only to the synergistic structure but also to the electronic effects of the Pt-CeO2 /rGO NCs among Pt, CeO2 , and rGO.

Abstract
Development of non-noble metal catalysts with similar activity and stability to noble metals is of significant importance in the conversion and utilization of clean energies.
Development of non-noble metal catalysts with similar activity and stability to noble metals is of significant importance in the conversion and utilization of clean energy. The catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) to produce 3 equiv. of H2, as an example of where noble metal catalysts significantly outperform their non-noble peers, serves as an excellent test site for the design and optimization of non-noble metal catalysts. Our kinetic isotopic effect measurements reveal, for the first time, that the kinetic key step of the hydrolysis is the activation of H2O. Deducibly, a transition metal with an optimal electronic structure that bonds H2O and –OH in intermediate strengths would favor the hydrolysis of AB. By employing a covalent triazine framework (CTF), a newly developed porous material capable of donating electrons through the lone pairs on N, the electron densities of nano-sized Co and Ni supported on CTF are markedly increased, as well as their catalytic activities. Specifically, Co/CTF exhibits a total turnover frequency of 42.3 molH2 molCo–1 min–1 at room temperature, which is superior to all peer non-noble metal catalysts ever reported and even comparable to some noble metal catalysts.

Abstract
Highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts are desired for the development of new energy storage materials. The rational choice and use of capping ligands are of significant importance for performance optimization of metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts. By exploiting amine-rich polyethylenimine (PEI) and graphene oxide (GO) as a NP support, we demonstrate that as a capping ligand, PEI deposited on GO provides a novel pathway able to simultaneously control the morphology, spatial distribution, surface active sites of cobalt (Co) NPs, and remarkably enhances their catalytic properties for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB). Such a synergistic effect enables the synthesized PEI-GO/Co catalysts to reveal extremely high dehydrogenation activities under atmosphere condition. A total turnover frequency of 39.9 molH2 min(-1) molCo(-1) and an apparent activation energy of 28.2 kJ mol(-1) make the catalytic performance of these PEI-GO/Co catalysts comparable to those of noble metal-based catalysts, including bimetallic and multimetallic catalysts.
