Abstract:
The crystalline structure and morphology of heterogeneous catalysts plays an increasingly important role in its ultimate catalytic activity. Herein, we have synthesized and compared the catalytic activities of Ag/Co3O4 cubes (Ag/Co3O4-c), Ag/Co3O4 octahedron (Ag/Co3O4-o) and Ag/Co3O4 truncated octahedron (Ag/Co3O4-t), via immobilization of Ag nanoparticles onto the surface of Co3O4-c/o/t, in dimethylamine borane (DB) hydrolysis for on-demand H2 evolution at 30 °C. In particular, Co3O4-c, Co3O4-o and Co3O4-t were enclosed with six {1 0 0}, six {1 1 1} resp. the mixture of six {1 0 0} and eight {1 1 1} exposing facets. Ag/Co3O4-c (1373 mol (H2)·molAg−1·h−1) exhibited more efficient catalytic activity than those of Ag/Co3O4-t (1172 mol (H2)·molAg−1·h−1) and Ag/Co3O4-o (804 mol (H2)·molAg−1·h−1) in DB hydrolysis. The (Density Functional Theory) DFT result illustrated that the Eads of Ag/Co3O4 {1 0 0} facets (−2.07 eV) was much lower than that of Ag/Co3O4 {1 1 1} facets (−1.72 eV), suggesting Ag/Co3O4 {1 0 0} facets is favor of DB adsorption, which is in consistent with our above experimental result. More interestingly, “on–off” control of on-demand H2 evolution upon DB hydrolysis over Ag/Co3O4-c was successfully achieved by the Zn2+/EDTA-2Na system, for effectively and safely producing, transporting and storing hydrogen in the future. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
