Bracelet-Like Ni_0.4Cu_0.6O Microstructure Composed of Well-Aligned Nanoplatelets as a Superior Catalyst to the Hydrolysis of Ammonia Borane.

ABSTRACT: The development of novel catalysts with both high catalytic activity and low cost toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane is an important subject in the field of hydrogen energy. In this communications, Ni_xCu_1-xO microstructures with different morphology have been synthesized and their catalytic activities in AB hydrolysis is studied. It's found that bracelet-like nanoplatelets were obtained at x = 0.4 and exhibit highest catalytic performance with turnover frequency of 33.43 mol_hydrogen min^-1 mol cat - 1 , which much higher than those of most of CuNi-based catalysts in the literature. Pronounced synergistic effects between CuO and NiO in AB hydrolysis also have been observed. Due to the superior catalytic performance and cheapness, the prepared bracelet-like nanoplatelets Ni_0.4Cu_0.6O catalysts can be a strong catalyst candidate in AB hydrolysis.

Project description:The further development of solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells (SOFC/SOEC) strongly relies on research activities dealing with electrode materials. Recent studies showed that under operating conditions many perovskite-type oxide electrodes are prone to changes of their surface composition, leading to severe changes of their electrochemical performance. This results in a large scatter of data in literature and complicates comparison of materials. Moreover, little information is available on the potentially excellent properties of surfaces immediately after preparation, that is, before any degradation by exposure to other gas compositions or temperature changes. Here, we introduce in situ impedance spectroscopy during pulsed laser deposition (IPLD) as a new method for electrochemical analysis of mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) thin films during growth. First, this approach can truly reveal the properties of as-prepared MIEC electrode materials, since it avoids any alterations of their surface between preparation and investigation. Second, the measurements during growth give information on the thickness dependence of film properties. This technique is applied to La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-? (LSC), one of the most promising SOFC/SOEC oxygen electrode material. From the earliest stages of LSC film deposition on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) to a fully grown thin film of 100 nm thickness, data are gained on the oxygen exchange kinetics and the defect chemistry of LSC. A remarkable reproducibility is found in repeated film growth experiments, not only for the bulk related chemical capacitance but also for the surface related polarization resistance (±10%). Polarization resistances of as-prepared LSC films are extraordinarily low (2.0 ? cm2 in 40 ?bar O2 at 600 °C). LSC films on YSZ and on La0.95Sr0.05Ga0.95Mg0.05O3-? (LSGM) single crystals exhibit significantly different electrochemical properties, possibly associated with the tensile strain of LSC on LSGM.
