Abstract
This study explores the stabilization by niobic acid, of Pt, Ni, Pd, and Au nanoparticles (NPs) for the efficient microheterogeneous catalysis of NaBH4 hydrolysis for hydrogen production. Niobic acid is the most widely studied Nb2O5 polymorph, and it is employed here for the first time for this key reaction relevant to green energy. Structural insights from XRD, Raman, and FTIR spectroscopies, combined with hydrogen production data, reveal the role of niobic acid's Brønsted acidity in its catalytic activity. The supported NPs showed significantly higher efficiency than the non-supported counterparts regarding turnover frequency, average hydrogen production rate, and cost. Among the tested NPs, PtNPs and NiNPs demonstrate the most favorable results. The data imply mechanism changes during the reaction, and the kinetic isotope assay indicates a primary isotope effect. Reusability assays demonstrate consistent yields over five cycles for PtNPs, although catalytic efficiency decreases, likely due to the formation of reaction byproducts.

Abstract
Palladium nanoparticles stabilised by aniline modified polymer immobilised ionic liquid is a remarkably active catalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate; the initial TOF of 500 h-1 is markedly higher than either unmodified catalyst or its benzylamine and N,N-dimethylaniline modified counterparts and is among the highest to be reported for a PdNP-based catalyst.

Abstract
The generation of H2 via the catalytic hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (SBH) has promise as a practical and secure approach to produce H2, a secure and environmentally friendly energy source for the foreseeable future. In this study, distinctive trimetallic NiCoPd nanoparticle-supported carbon nanofibers (NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs) is synthesized via sol-gel and electrospinning approaches. The fabricated trimetallic catalysts show an excellent catalytic performance for the generation of H2 from the hydrolysis of SBH. Standard physicochemical techniques were used to characterize the as-prepared NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs. The results show that NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs is formed, with an average particle size of about 21 nm. When compared to NiCo bimetallic NP @CNFS, all NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs formulations demonstrated greater catalytic activates for the hydrolysis of SBH. The improved catalytic activity may be due in the majority to the synergistic interaction between the three metals in the trimetallic architecture. Furthermore, the activation energy for the catalytic hydrolysis of SBH by the NiCoPd tri-NPs@CNFs was determined to be 16.30 kJ mol-1. The kinetics studies show that the reaction is of a first order with respect to the catalyst loading amount and a half order with respect to the SBH concentration [SBH].

Membrane Nanofiber-Supported Cobalt-Nickel Nanoparticles as an Effective and Durable Catalyst for H 2 Evolution via Sodium Borohydride Hydrolysis. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15040814. [PMID: 36850097 PMCID: PMC9965186 DOI: 10.3390/polym15040814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The successful support of bimetallic NiCo alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) nanofibers (PVDF-HFP NFs) was achieved through electrospinning (ES) and in situ reduction. The synthesis and physicochemical characterization of Ni-Co@PVDF-HFP NFs with a range of bimetallic compositions (Ni1-xCox, x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1) supported on PVDF-HFP NFs was undertaken. In comparison to their counterparts (Ni-PVDF-HFB and Co-PVDF-HFB), the bimetallic hybrid NF membranes demonstrated a significantly increased volume of H2 generation from sodium borohydride (SBH). The high performance of bimetallic catalysts can be attributed mostly to the synergistic impact of Ni and Co. Among all fabricated catalysts, Ni0.3Co0.7@PVDF-HFP produced the highest H2 production in a short time. The maximum generated H2volume was 118 mL in 11.5, 9, 6, and 4.5 min at 298, 308, 318, and 328 K, respectively. Kinetic analyses showed that the hydrolysis process proceeded as a quasi-first-order reaction with respect to the amount of catalyst and as a zero-order reaction with respect to the concentration of SBH. Thermodynamics studies were also undertaken and the parameters were calculated as Ea, ΔS, and ΔH = 30.17 kJ/mol, 0.065 kJ/mol, and 27.57 kJ/mol K, respectively. The introduced NFs can be easily separated and reused, which facilitates their industrialization and commercialization applications in hydrogen storage systems.

Magnetically Recovered Co and Co@Pt Catalysts Prepared by Galvanic Replacement on Aluminum Powder for Hydrolysis of Sodium Borohydride. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15093010.

Abstract
Magnetically recovered Co and Co@Pt catalysts for H2 generation during NaBH4 hydrolysis were successfully synthesized by optimizing the conditions of galvanic replacement method. Commercial aluminum particles with an average size of 80 µm were used as a template for the synthesis of hollow shells of metallic cobalt. Prepared Co0 was also subjected to galvanic replacement reaction to deposit a Pt layer. X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and elemental analysis were used to investigate catalysts at each stage of their synthesis and after catalytic tests. It was established that Co0 hollow microshells show a high hydrogen-generation rate of 1560 mL·min-1·gcat-1 at 40 °C, comparable to that of many magnetic cobalt nanocatalysts. The modification of their surface by platinum (up to 19 at% Pt) linearly increases the catalytic activity up to 5.2 times. The catalysts prepared by the galvanic replacement method are highly stable during cycling. Thus, after recycling and washing off the resulting borate layer, the Co@Pt catalyst with a minimum Pt loading (0.2 at%) exhibits an increase in activity of 34% compared to the initial value. The study shows the activation of the catalyst in the reaction medium with the formation of cobalt-boron-containing active phases.
