Abstract
Developing a straightforward and general strategy to regulate the surface microenvironment of a carbon matrix enriched with N/B motifs for efficient atomic utilization and electronic state of metal sites in bifunctional hydrogen production via ammonia-borane hydrolysis (ABH) and water electrolysis is a persistent challenge. Herein, we present a simple, green, and universal approach to fabricate B/N co-doped porous carbons using ammonia-borane (AB) as a triple functional agent, eliminating the need for hazardous and explosive functional agents and complicated procedures. The pyrolysis of AB induces the regulation of the surface microenvironment of the carbon matrix, leading to the formation of abundant surface functional groups, defects, and pore structures. This regulation enhances the efficiency of atom utilization and the electronic state of the active component, resulting in improved bifunctional hydrogen evolution. Among the catalysts, B/N co-doped vulcan carbon (Ru/BNC) with 2.1 wt% Ru loading demonstrates the highest performance in catalytic hydrogen production from ABH, achieving an ultrahigh turnover frequency of 1854 min-1 (depending on the dispersion of Ru). Furthermore, this catalyst shows remarkable electrochemical activity for hydrogen evolution in alkaline water electrolysis with a low overpotential of 31 mV at 10 mA cm-2. The present study provides a simple, green, and universal method to regulate the surface microenvironment of various carbons with B/N modulators, thereby adjusting the atomic utilization and electronic state of active metals for enhanced bifunctional hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) with 19.6 wt % H2 content is widely considered a safe and efficient medium for H2 storage and release. Co-based nanocatalysts present strong contenders for replacing precious metal-based catalysts in AB hydrolysis due to their high activity and cost-effectiveness. However, precisely adjusting the active centers and surface properties of Co-based nanomaterials to enhance their activity, as well as suppressing the migration and loss of metal atoms to improve their stability, presents many challenges. In this study, mesoporous-silica-confined bimetallic Co-Cu nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon (CoxCu1-x@NC@mSiO2) were synthesized using a facile mSiO2-confined thermal pyrolysis strategy. The obtained product, an optimized Co0.8Cu0.2@NC@mSiO2 catalyst, exhibits enhanced performance with a turnover frequency of 240.9 molH2 ⋅ molmetal ⋅ min-1 for AB hydrolysis at 298 K, surpassing most noble-metal-free catalysts. Moreover, Co0.8Cu0.2@NC@mSiO2 demonstrates magnetic recyclability and extraordinary stability, with a negligible decline of only 0.8 % over 30 cycles of use. This enhanced performance was attributed to the synergistic effect between Co and Cu, as well as silica confinement. This work proposes a promising method for constructing noble-metal-free catalysts for AB hydrolysis.

Turk J Chem 2023; 47:1224-1238. [PMID: 38173757 PMCID: PMC10762867 DOI: 10.55730/1300-0527.3607] [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: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Reducible WO3 powder with a mean diameter of 100 nm is used as support to stabilize ruthenium(0) nanoparticles. Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles are obtained by NaBH4 reduction of ruthenium(III) precursor on the surface of WO3 support at room temperature. Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on the surface of tungsten(VI) oxide. The obtained Ru0/WO3 nanoparticles are found to be active catalysts in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. The turnover frequency (TOF) values of the Ru0/WO3 nanocatalysts with the metal loading of 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0% wt. Ru are 122, 106, and 83 min-1, respectively, in releasing hydrogen gas from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25.0 °C. As the Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst with an average particle size of 2.6 nm provides the highest activity among them, it is extensively investigated. Although the Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst is not magnetically separable, it has extremely high reusability in the hydrolysis reaction as it preserves 100% of initial catalytic activity even after the 5th run of hydrolysis. The high activity and reusability of Ru0/WO3 (1.0% wt. Ru) nanocatalyst are attributed to the favorable metal-support interaction between the ruthenium(0) nanoparticles and the reducible tungsten(VI) oxide. The high catalytic activity and high stability of Ru0/WO3 nanoparticles increase the catalytic efficiency of precious ruthenium in hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) is a potential hydrogen storage material with high-efficiency hydrolytic dehydrogenation under a suitable catalyst. Noble metal catalysts have drawn a lot of attention. In this study, a carbon-coated zeolite was obtained by calcination at high temperatures using glucose as a carbon source. Pt nanoparticles were fixed on a core-shell composite support by a simple chemical reduction method. A series of catalysts were prepared with different synthesis parameters. The results show that PSC-2 has excellent catalytic performance for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB in alkaline solution at room temperature, and the turnover frequency (TOF) is 593 min-1. The excellent catalytic performance is attributed to the carbon layer on the zeolite surface which inhibits the aggregation or deformation of metals in the catalytic reaction. The metal-support interaction activates the water and accelerates the rate-limiting step of hydrolysis. The activation energy (E a = 44 kJ mol-1) was calculated based on the reaction temperature. In addition, the kinetics of AB hydrolysis was studied, and the effects of catalyst concentration, AB concentration and NaOH concentration on AB hydrolysis rate were further investigated. The high-efficiency catalyst prepared in this work provides a new strategy for the development of chemical hydrogen production in the field of catalysis.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalytic systems to boost hydrogen evolution from hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) is of broad interest but remains a formidable challenge since the widespread usages of hydrogen have been considered as sustainable solutions to ensure future energy security. Herein, we developed an alkaline ultrasonic irradiation-mediated catalytic system with O/N-rich porous carbon supported Ru nanoclusters (NCs) (Ru/ONPC) to considerably boost the catalytic activity for hydrogen production from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB. The uniformly distributed sub-2.0 nm Ru NCs on the ONPC were demonstrated to be efficient catalysts to boost hydrogen generation from the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB with the synergistic effect between ultrasonic irradiation and alkaline additive without any additional heating. An ultrahigh turnover frequency (TOF) of 4004 min-1 was achieved in the developed catalytic system, which was significantly higher than that of ultrasound-mediated AB hydrolysis without alkali (TOF: 485 min-1) and alkaline AB hydrolysis (TOF: 1747 min-1) without ultrasound mixing. The alkaline ultrasonic irradiation was beneficial for the cleavage of the OH bonds in the attacked H2O molecules catalyzed by the Ru/ONPC and thus considerably boost the catalytic hydrogen generation from AB. This study provides a tractable and ecofriendly pathway to promote the activity toward AB hydrolysis to release hydrogen.

Abstract
In this work, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from ammonia borane under near-infrared laser irradiation at ambient temperature was demonstrated by using the novel core-shell upconversion-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures (NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+@NaGdF4@Cu2O). The particles were successfully synthesized in a final concentration of 10 mg/mL. The particles were characterized via high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoluminescence, energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), and powder X-ray diffraction. The near-infrared-driven photocatalytic activities of such hybrid nanoparticles are remarkably higher than that with bare upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) under the same irradiation. The upconverted photoluminescence of UCNPs efficiently reabsorbed by Cu2O promotes the charge separation in the semiconducting shell, and facilitates the formation of photoinduced electrons and hydroxyl radicals generated via the reaction between H2O and holes. Both serve as reactive species on the dissociation of the weak B-N bond in an aqueous medium, to produce hydrogen under near-infrared excitation, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic activities. The photocatalyst of NaGdF4:Yb3+/Er3+@NaGdF4@Cu2O (UCNPs@Cu2O) suffered no loss of efficacy after several cycles. This work sheds light on the rational design of near-infrared-activated photocatalysts, and can be used as a proof-of-concept for on-board hydrogen generation from ammonia borane under near-infrared illumination, with the aim of green energy suppliers.

Abstract
Achieving the controlled release of H2 through an effective approach still faces many challenges. Herein, high-quality graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are synthesized from a new precursor, 1,2,4-trihydroxy benzene, and a multifunctional platform of Rh@GQDs is further developed for the controlled H2 evolution upon the hydrolysis of NH3BH3 (AB). More importantly, the designing concepts of multistep and stepless speed controls have been introduced in the domains of both H2 evolution for the first time. Through a novel designing protocol, the rate of H2 evolution can be freely regulated and constantly varied on demand by means of chelation between Zn2+ and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The density functional theory calculation indicates that Zn2+ has the priority to be adsorbed onto Rh(100) due to its larger adsorption energy (107.98 kcal·mol-1) than that of AB (36.36 kcal·mol-1). A controlling mechanism is presented such that Zn2+ will cover the active sites of the nanocatalyst to prevent the H2 evolution, and EDTA can chelate Zn2+ to reactivate the nanocatalyst for the production of H2, greatly facilitating use of this strategy in other catalytic reactions. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the protocol is equally valid for diverse hydrogen storage materials. Therefore, this work not only establishes whole new concepts for the controlled production of H2 but also explains their mechanism, thus remarkably advancing the utilization of H2 energy and significantly enlightening the controlled process of catalysis.

Abstract
Copper nitride (Cu3N) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydroxylation of aryl halides under ligand-free conditions. The cubic Cu3N nanoparticles showed high catalytic activity, comparable to those of conventional Cu catalysts with nitrogen ligands, demonstrating that the nitrogen atoms in Cu3N act as functional ligands that promote hydroxylation.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) has received growing research interest as one of the most promising hydrogen-storage carrier materials. However, fast dehydrogenation of AB is still limited by sluggish catalytic kinetics over current catalysts. Herein, highly uniform and ultrafine bimetallic RhNi alloy nanoclusters encapsulated within nitrogen-functionalized hollow mesoporous carbons (defined as RhNi@NHMCs) are developed as highly active, durable, and selective nanocatalysts for fast hydrolysis of AB under mild conditions. Remarkable activity with a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1294 molH2 molRh-1 min-1 and low activation energy (Ea) of 18.6 kJ mol-1 is observed at room temperature, surpassing the previous Rh-based catalysts. The detailed mechanism studies reveal that when catalyzed by RhNi@NHMCs, a covalently stable O-H bond by H2O first cleaves in electropositive H* and further attacks B-H bond of AB to stoichiometrically produce 3 equiv of H2, whose catalytic kinetics is restricted by the oxidation cleavage of the O-H bond. Compositional and structural features of RhNi@NHMCs result in synergic electronic, functional, and support add-in advantages, kinetically accelerating the cleavage of the attacked H2O (O-H bond) and remarkably promoting the catalytic hydrolysis of AB accordingly. This present work represents a new and effective strategy for exploring high-performance supported metal-based alloy nanoclusters for (electro)catalysis.
