Öğe Boric acid versus boron trioxide as catalysts for green energy source H2 production from sodium borohydride methanolysis(2021) Demirci, Şahin; Ari, Betül; Bütün Şengel, Sultan; İnger, Erk; Şahiner, NurettinHere, boric acid (H3BO3) and its dewatered form, boron trioxide (B2O3) were tested as catalysts for hydrogen (H2) evolution in the methanolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in methanol. Parameters such as catalyst types and their amounts, NaBH4 concentration, and the reaction temperature affecting the hydrogen generation rate (HGR) were studied. It has been found that H3BO3 and B2O3 catalyzed methanolysis reaction of NaBH4 follow up first-order kinetics relative to the concentration of NaBH4. Furthermore, the conversion and activity of these catalysts were examined to determine their performance in ten consecutive use. Interestingly, H3BO3 and B2O3 have demonstrated superior catalytic performances in methanolysis of NaBH4 comparing to the studies published in literature with the activation energy of respectively 22.08 kJ.mol-1, and 23.30 kJ.mol-1 in H2 production. The HGR was calculated as 6481 mL.min-1.g-1 and 5163 mL.min-1.g-1 for H3BO3 and B2O3 catalyst, respectively for 50 mg catalyst at 298 K. These results are comparably better than most metal nanoparticle catalysts used for H2 production in addition to the naturally occurring boron-based environmentally friendliness of these materials.Öğe Catalytic activity of metal-free amine-modified dextran microgels in hydrogen release through methanolysis of NaBH4(Wiley, 2020) İnger, Erk; Sunol, Aydın K.; Şahiner, NurettinPolymeric microgels were prepared from dextran (Dex) by crosslinking linear natural polymer dextran with divinyl sulfone (DVS) with a surfactant-free emulsion technique resulting in high gravimetric yield of 78.5 +/- 5.3% with wide size distribution. Dex microgels were chemically modified, and then used as catalyst in the methanolysis of NaBH4 to produce H-2. The chemical modification of Dex microgel was done on epichlorohydrin (ECH)-reacted Dex microgels with ethylenediamine (EDA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), and triethylenetetraamine (TETA) in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 90 degrees C for 12 hours. The modified dextran-TETA microgels were protonated using treatment with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and m-Dex microgels-TETA-HCl was found to be a very efficient catalyst for methanolysis of NaBH4 to produce H-2. The effects of reaction temperature and NaBH4 concentration on H-2 generation rates were investigated and m-Dex microgels-TETA-HCl catalyst possessed excellent catalytic performances with 100% conversion and 80% activity at end of 10 consecutive uses and was highly re-generatable with simple HCl treatment. Interestingly, m-Dex microgels-TETA-HCl catalyst can catalyze NaBH4 methanolysis reaction in a mild temperature range 0 to 35 degrees C with Ea value of 30.72 kJ/mol and in subzero temperature range, -20 to 0 degrees C with Ea value of 32.87 kJ/mol, which is comparable with many catalysts reported in the literature.Öğe Controllable hydrogen generation by use smart hydrogel reactor containing Ru nano catalyst and magnetic iron nanoparticles(Elsevier, 2011) Şahiner, Nurettin; Özay, Özgür; İnger, Erk; Aktaş, NahitIn this study, p(AMPS) hydrogels are synthesized from 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonic acid (AMPS) via a photo polymerization technique. The hydrogels are used as template for metal nanoparticles and magnetic ferrite nanoparticles. and also as a catalysis vessel in the generation of hydrogen from the hydrolysis of NaBH4. Approximately 5 nm Ru (0) and 20-30 nm magnetic ferrite particles are generated in situ inside this p(AMPS) hydrogel network and then used as a catalysis medium in hydrogen production by hydrolysis of sodium boron hydride in a basic medium. With an applied external magnetic field, the hydrogel reactor, containing Ru and ferrite magnetic particles, can be removed from the catalysis medium; providing on-demand generation of hydrogen. The effect of various parameters such as the initial concentration of NaBH4. the amount of catalyst and temperature on the hydrolysis reaction is evaluated. The activation energy for hydrogen production by Ru (0) nanoparticles is found to be 27.5 kJ mol(-1); while the activation enthalpy is 30.4 kJ mol(-1). The hydrogen generation rate in presence of 5 wt% NaOH and 50 mg p(AMPS)-Ru catalyst is 8.2 L H-2 min(-1) g Ru. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Approximately 100 nm Ni metal nanoparticles were generated in situ inside these p(AMPS) hydrogel networks and used as a catalyst in hydrogen production by hydrolysis of sodium boron hydride in a basic medium. The effects of several parameters on the hydrolysis reaction such as the amount of catalyst, the initial concentration of NaBH4, and the temperature were investigated.

Therefore, the use of appropriate CO2 capture and storage technologies is of significant importance for the future of planet Earth due to atmospheric, climate, and environmental concerns. A cleaner and more sustainable approach to CO2 capture and storage using porous materials, membranes, and amine-based sorbents could offer excellent possibilities. Here, sucrose-derived porous carbon particles (PCPs) were synthesized as adsorbents for CO2 capture. Next, these PCPs were modified with branched- and linear-polyethyleneimine (B-PEI and L-PEI) as B-PEI-PCP and L-PEI-PCP, respectively. These PCPs and their PEI-modified forms were then used to prepare metal nanoparticles such as Co, Cu, and Ni in situ as M@PCP and M@L/B-PEI-PCP (M: Ni, Co, and Cu). The presence of PEI on the PCP surface enables new amine functional groups, known for high CO2 capture ability. The presence of metal nanoparticles in the structure may be used as a catalyst to convert the captured CO2 into useful products, e.g., fuels or other chemical compounds, at high temperatures. It was found that B-PEI-PCP has a larger surface area and higher CO2 capture capacity with a surface area of 32.84 m(2)/g and a CO2 capture capacity of 1.05 mmol CO2/g adsorbent compared to L-PEI-PCP. Amongst metal-nanoparticle-embedded PEI-PCPs (M@PEI-PCPs, M: Ni, Co, Cu), Ni@L-PEI-PCP was found to have higher CO2 capture capacity, 0.81 mmol CO2/g adsorbent, and a surface area of 225 m(2)/g. These data are significant as they will steer future studies for the conversion of captured CO2 into useful fuels/chemicals.Öğe Porous carbon particles as metal-free superior catalyst for hydrogen release from methanolysis of sodium borohydride(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Demirci, Şahin; Yıldız, Mustafa; İnger, Erk; Şahiner, NurettinCarbon materials can be readily prepared from wood derivatives, monosaccharaides such as pentose/hexose and/or polysaccharides in addition to many starting materials by treatment of thermal, chemical and hydrothermal methods. Here, the porous carbon (PC) particles were prepared by removal of silica particles from previously prepared carbon-silica composites by hydrothermal and carbonization process from sucrose. Then, PC particles were modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI) to prepared amine functionalized PC-PEI particles and protonated with hydrochloric acid, PC-PEI+. Finally, these prepared carbon-based particles were used as catalyst for H-2 release from NaBH4 methanolysis and PC-PEI+ was found as the most effective catalyst at 25 degrees C with 4040 +/- 126 mL H-2. min(-1).g(-1) HGR value. The E s value of 23.9 kJ/mol in H-2 release reaction from NaBH4 methanolysis catalyzed by PC-PEI+ that is comparable and/or better than most of studies reported in literature. The activity% of PC-PEI+ catalyst was 72% after fifth consequential runs. Additionally, the regeneration ability of PC-PEI+ catalyst was also shown that after fifth regeneration process, there is only 5% decrease in activity%. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The embedded Co nanoparticles in the p(AMPS) networks are on the order of 100 nm.
