In this study, starch hydrogel was used as a template to synthesize starch hydrogel-CoNi bimetallic alloys, which showed promising catalytic activity in hydrogen production. Various factors affecting the hydrolysis of NaBH4 were investigated, with the catalyst showing good reusability and stability. This approach demonstrates great potential for large-scale synthesis of bimetallic alloys with starch hydrogel as a biocompatible material for catalysis applications.
In this article, starch hydrogel was successfully prepared using a citric acid cross-linking method and was used as a template to synthesize starch hydrogel-CoNi bimetallic alloys by the in situ reduction in Co(2+)Ni(2+)ions using NaBH(4)as the reducing agent in the presence of the starch hydrogel network. The starch hydrogel-CoNi bimetallic alloys were simply isolated by filtration and also characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, FTIR and XRD, respectively. The catalytic activity of starch hydrogel-CoNi bimetallic alloys was used as a catalyst in the hydrogen production from the hydrolysis of NaBH(4)in the presence of alkaline solution. The variables affecting on the hydrolysis of NaBH(4)such as the initial CoNi molar ratio, initial NaOH concentration, catalyst amount, initial NaBH(4)concentration and reaction temperature were examined. The activation energy (E-a), the activation enthalpy ( increment H-#) and the activation entropy ( increment S-#) were found to be 36.24 kJ mol(-1), 37.75 kJ mol(-1)and - 125.23 kJ mol(-1) K-1, respectively. The catalyst can be used up to 5 times with 100% conversion, and the catalyst was remained 68% activity after storing 15 days. This approach offers a great potential to utilize starch hydrogel acting as a biocompatible material for a large-scale synthesis of bimetallic alloys for various applications in catalysis.
