NiO@ N-katkılı indirgenmiş grafen oksit sentezi ve hidrojen üretimde kullanılması

Abstract

Amonyak boran (AB), kimyasal hidrojen depolama bileşikleri arasında oldukça umut verici bir aday olarak kabul edilmektedir. Hidrojen üretim sistemlerinin etkinliğinin artırılmasında ki en önemli kilit noktası, maliyeti düşük ve aktivitesi yüksek bir katalizör geliştirmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmada, soy metal içermeyen NiO bileşiğinin azot katkılı indirgenmiş grafen oksit destek malzemesi üzerinde (NiO@N-rGO) sentezi gerçekleştirilmiş ve AB’nin katalitik dehidrojenasyon deneylerinde (25oC-50 oC) etkinliği araştırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda, NiO ve azot katkılı rGO desteği arasındaki sinerjik etkinin katalizörün performansını arttırdığı görülmüş ve devir frekansı değeri (TOF): 63 mol H2 min−1 (mol Ni)−1 ve aktivasyon enerji değeri: 48.7 kJ mol−1 olarak bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar, sentezlenen NiO@N-rGO katalizörün literatüre ki bir çok Ni-bazlı katalizörlerden daha aktif olduğunu göstermiştir.

The synthesis of NiO@ N-doped reduced graphene oxide and its application for hydrogen generation

Abstract

Ammonia borane (AB) is considered a highly promising candidate among chemical hydrogen storage compounds. The improvement of efficient and low-cost catalysts is key to comprehending a highly efficient hydrogen generation reaction. In this study, the synthesis of non-noble nickel oxide was performed on nitrogen-doped graphene (NiO@N-rGO) and its efficiency towards the catalytic dehydrogenation of AB was investigated under mild conditions (25oC-50oC). The synergic effect between NiO and nitrogen-doped rGO has increased the performance of the catalyst. As a result, the turnover frequency (63 mol H2 min−1 (mol Ni) −1 of NiO@N-rGO is higher than most Ni-based catalysts. The activation energy (Ea) measured to be 48.7 kJ mol−1 is among the values of the most active catalysts.
