Amorphous tunable-size Co-B magnetic nanoparticles from the cobalt-catalyzed NaBH4 hydrolysis

The cobalt-catalyzed hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH(4)) has become an attractive process in view of the possibilities of using the hydride for hydrogen storage material and also for the production of amorphous and tunable-size magnetic nanoparticles. This process in which the metallic catalyst transforms into a Co- and B-based magnetic by-product when in contact with NaBH(4) has been modified in order to control the mechanism of formation, tune the final size and study the particular magnetic behavior of the Co-B alloy nanoparticles provided.     

Enhanced hydrogen release by catalyzed hydrolysis of sodium borohydride-ammonia borane mixtures: a solution-state 11B NMR study

Hydrolysis of mixtures consisting of sodium borohydride NaBH(4) (SB) and ammonia borane NH(3)BH(3) (AB) was studied in the absence/presence of a Co catalyst. The kinetics of the H(2) evolutions was measured. The reactions were followed in situ by solution-state (11)B NMR and the hydrolysis by-products characterized by NMR, XRD and IR. It is demonstrated that the combination of the two compounds gives a synergetic effect. SB rapidly reduces the Co catalyst precursor and the NH(4)(+) ions from AB contribute in the dispersion of the in situ formed Co nanoparticles. As a result, the kinetics of H(2) evolution is greatly improved. For instance, a hydrogen generation rate of 29.6 L min(-1) g(-1)(Co) was found for a mixture consisting of 81 wt% NH(3)BH(3), 9 wt% NaBH(4) and 10 wt% CoCl(2). By (11)B NMR, it was showed that the reaction mechanisms are quite trivial. As soon as the Co catalyst forms in situ, SB, rather than AB, hydrolyzes until it is totally converted. Then, the overall hydrolysis continues with that of AB. Both reactions follow a bimolecular Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism; no reaction intermediates were observed during the process. In fact, SB and AB convert directly into B(OH)(4)(-), which comes in equilibrium with a polyborate compound identified as B(3)O(3)(OH)(4)(-). All of these results are discussed herein.

Hydrogen generation from methanolysis of sodium borohydride over Co/Al2O3 catalyst

Co/Al2O3 catalyst is prepared with an impregnation-chemical reduction method and used to catalyze the methanolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4) for hydrogen generation.At solution temperature of 0 C,the methanolysis reaction can be effectively accelerated using Co/Al2O3 catalyst and provide a desirable hydrogen generation rate,which makes it suitable for applications under the circumstance of low environmental temperature.The byproduct of methanolysis reaction is analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).The characterization results indicate that methanol can be easily recovered after methanolysis reaction by hydrolysis of the methanolysis byproduct,NaB(OCH 3) 4.The catalytic activity of Co/Al2O3 towards NaBH 4 methanolysis can be further improved by appropriate calcination treatment.The catalytic methanolysis kinetics and catalyst reusability are also studied over the Co/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at the optimized temperature.     

Investigation on mechanism of catalysis by Pt-LiCoO2 for hydrolysis of sodium borohydride using X-ray absorption

The synthesis of platinum nanoparticle loaded LiCoO2 (Pt-LiCoO2) was carried out successfully by an impregnation method followed by sintering at different temperatures. The catalytic role of Pt-LiCoO2 composite in hydrogen generation during hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) was studied for fuel cell applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) have been used to elucidate the structural and catalytic properties of Pt-LiCoO2. It was found that the 15 wt % of Pt nanoparticles on LiCoO2 sintered at 450 degrees C support showed the maximum efficiency for the catalysis reaction of hydrogen production. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis using a synchrotron radiation source were performed to carry out ex situ measurements in order to understand the mechanism of the catalytic process for the production of hydrogen during the hydrolysis of NaBH4. Co K-edge XANES showed a small percentage of cobalt in the metallic form after hydrogen generation which suggests the reduction of the cobalt during the hydrolysis of NaBH4.     

Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol over Co-B Amorphous Catalysts Prepared by Chemical Reduction in Variable Media

Five Co-B amorphous alloy catalysts were prepared by chemical reduction in different media, including pure water and pure ethanol as well as the mixture of ethanol and water with variable ethanol content, Their catalytic properties were evaluated using liquid phase furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol as the probe reaction. It was found that the reaction media had no significant influence on either the amorphous structure of the Co-B catalyst or the electronic interaction between metallic Co and alloying B. This could successfully account for the fact that all the as-prepared Co-B catalysts exhibited almost the same selectivity to furfuryl alcohol and the same activity per surface area （ Rs ）, which could be considered as the intrinsic activity, since the nature of active sites remained unchanged. However, the activity per gram of Co （ R^mH ） of the as-prepared Co-B catalysts increased rapidly when the ethanol content in the water-ethanol mixture used as the reaction medium for catalyst preparation increased. This could be attributed to the rapid increase in the surface area possibly owing to the presence of more oxidized boron species which could serve as a support for dispersing the Co-B amorphous alloy particles.

Combined in situ XRD and in situ XANES studies on the reduction behavior of a rhenium promoted cobalt catalyst

A 10% Co-4% Re/(2% Zr/SiO(2)) catalyst was prepared by co-impregnation using a silica support modified by 2% Zr. The catalyst was characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR), in situ XRD and in situ XANES analysis where it was simultaneously exposed to H(2) using a temperature programmed ramp. The results showed the two step reduction of large crystalline Co(3)O(4) with CoO as an intermediate. TPR results showed that the reduction of highly dispersed Co(3)O(4) was facilitated by reduced rhenium by a H(2)-spillover mechanism. In situ XRD results showed the presence of both, Co-hcp and Co-fcc phases in the reduced catalyst at 400 °C. However, the Co-hcp phase was more abundant, which is thought to be the more active phase as compared to the Co-fcc phase for CO hydrogenation. CO hydrogenation at 270 °C and 5 bar pressure produces no detectable change in the phases during the time of experiment. In situ XANES results showed a decrease in the metallic cobalt in the presence of H(2)/CO, which can be attributed due to oxidation of the catalyst by reaction under these conditions.

Synthesis of a Novel Co-B/CTAB Catalyst via Solid-state-reaction at Room Temperature for Hydrolysis of Ammonia-borane

Cobalt-boride(Co-B) is emerging as one of the promising materials in the base-hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane(AB). In order to avoid the low specific area and poor catalytic capacity of Co-B catalyst caused by aggregation arising from the strong reducing property and rapid reaction condensation of sodium borohydride(NaBH₄), novel cobalt boride/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(Co-B/CTAB) catalyst was obtained via solid-state grinding at room temperature, and the catalyst was further characterized by XRD, SEM, XPS and BET. The hydrogen generation rate(HGR) was then determined by the hydrolysis reaction of AB. The SEM images indicate that a lot of irregular folds and curled edges are formed on the sample with a maximum surface area of 145.57 m²/g, thus possibly resulting in the high hydrogen production(HGR was 10.68 L·min^-1·g^-1), which may be attributed to CTAB that provide favorable large specific surface area and abundant porous structure. Additionally, catalyst will not be affected by solvants during solid-state reaction. As a diluent, the surfactant CTAB hindered the reaction rate of sodium borohydride reduction to cobalt boride and obtained the novel catalyst with a large specific surface area.     

Hydroformylation of 1-Octene over Nanotubular TiO2-supported Amorphous Co-B Catalysts

TiO₂ nanotubes supported amorphous Co-B(Co-B/TNTs) catalyst was prepared via impregnationchemical reduction procedure. The catalyst was characterized with transmission electron microscopy(TEM), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption(NH₃-TPD), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis(TG-DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The effects of temperature and ratio of CO to H₂ on the hydroformylation of 1-octene were studied. At an optimized reaction temperature(150℃) and volume ratio of CO to H₂(2:1), the conversion of 1-octene can reach 97.4% with a selectivity of 23.1% for total aldehydes and n/i-aldehyde molar ratio of 40:60. To obtain higher selectivity for linear aldehydes, Co-B/TNTs modified with triphenylphosphine for the hydroformylation of 1-octene were investigated. When molar ratio of P/Co was 4, the yield of total aldehydes was the highest(31.6%) with a good selectivity for linear product(n/i-aldehyde molar ratio was 70:30). In recycle use, the Co-B/TNTs catalyst modified with triphenylphosphine could be reused five times without reducing the activity and selectivity obviously. For a comparative study, all the Co-B/TNTs to catalyze the hydroformylation of other olefins exhibited high conversion under the optimized conditions.
