Dehydrogenation of N2H4?H2O over NiMoO4 nanorods-stabilized NiPt bimetal nanoparticles for on-demand H2 evolution

Jie Cao et al.

Summary: The exploration of an "on-off" switch for demand-based H2 generation from N2H4.H2O dehydrogenation is important for efficient and safe production, deposition, and transportation of H2 gas. Nickel molybdate nanorods (NMN)-stabilized NixPty bimetallic nanoparticles (NixPty/NMN) were designed and synthesized as a high-efficiency and selective catalyst for demand-based H2 generation. The optimized nano-catalyst Ni1Pt1/NMN exhibited the highest turnover frequency (TOF) in H2 generation from N2H4.H2O dehydrogenation, and a pH-adjusting method successfully developed a selective "on-off" switch for on-demand H2 generation.

Mustafa Karatok et al.

Summary: Palladium-silver-based alloy catalysts have the potential for CO-free hydrogen production from formic acid. The selective decomposition of formic acid on Pd-Ag alloys was investigated, and it was found that surface Ag domains modified by interaction with subsurface Pd are the key active sites for selective decomposition. In contrast, surface Pd atoms are detrimental to selectivity. The decomposition pathways can be tailored for CO-free H2 production on Pd-Ag alloy systems.

Fast Au-Ni@ZIF-8-catalyzed ammonia borane hydrolysis boosted by dramatic volcano-type synergy and plasmonic acceleration

Naixin Kang et al.

Summary: This study reports the efficient performance of AuNi@ZIF-8 alloys as nanocatalysts for H2 evolution from ammonia borane hydrolysis under visible-light illumination. The catalytic activity of AuNi@ZIF-8 alloys under visible light was found to be 3.4 times higher than that of the monometallic Ni catalyst in the dark. This improvement is attributed to the superior support of ZIF-8 in Au0.5Ni0.5@ZIF-8 and the localized surface plasmon resonance induced between 450 and 620 nm. The results also reveal that the activation of water is always the rate-determining step.

Layal Yaacoub et al.

Summary: The demand for harmless and efficient energy sources is growing rapidly in response to increasing awareness of global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, and fossil fuel consumption. Formic acid has been identified as a potential candidate for reversible hydrogen storage due to its ability to decompose into hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the presence of suitable catalysts. However, achieving selective and efficient decomposition of formic acid using traditional heterogeneous catalysis has proven to be challenging. In this study, a promising heterogeneous catalyst approach using a ruthenium PN3P pincer complex immobilized on a fibrous silica nanosphere has been developed. The resulting catalyst exhibits good stability and activity in formic acid dehydrogenation, showing great potential for practical applications.
