In this study, a carbon-coated zeolite was prepared by calcination at high temperatures using glucose as a carbon source, and Pt nanoparticles were fixed on a core-shell composite support by a simple chemical reduction method. The catalyst PSC-2 showed excellent performance for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB in alkaline solution at room temperature, with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 593 min(-1). The carbon layer on the zeolite surface inhibited the aggregation or deformation of metals in the catalytic reaction, and the metal-support interaction activated the water and accelerated the rate-limiting step of hydrolysis.
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.
