Abstract
Catalysts play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and rate of hydrogen release from sodium borohydride (NaBH4) hydrolysis. In this work, Mn-BDC (BDC – 1,4-benzene dicarboxylate) Coordination Polymer (CP) was synthesized via an efficient sonochemical method and posteriorly used for the preparation of the bimetallic MnCo-BDC Coordination Polymer via the wet impregnation method. The materials were characterized by the FTIR, PXRD, SEM, and TGA methods, indicating that both samples are isostructural. The prepared materials were investigated as novel active heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen generation from sodium borohydride. The bimetallic MnCo-BDC sample showed enhanced catalytical performance compared to the Mn-BDC counterpart, with an excellent low activation energy of 12.4 kJ mol−1. Furthermore, this material maintained its activity for at least five catalytic reaction cycles.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
