Carbon supported Pd based catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogeneration of morpholine borane.

Although the reducing property of morpholine borane is frequently used, there are few studies on its use as a chemical hydrogen storage material. This study presents the catalyst efficiency for hydrogen production in the dehydrogenation reaction of morpholine borane as efficient and cost-effective hydrogen storage material, which can be used as an alternative to depleting fossil fuels. It was studied with four different catalysts as activated Carbon-supported Pd, PdAg, PdNi, and PdCo.

Highly monodisperse Pd-Ni nanoparticles supported on rGO as a rapid, sensitive, reusable and selective enzyme-free glucose sensor.

In this work, highly monodispersed palladium-nickel (Pd-Ni) nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were synthesized by the microwave-assisted methodology. The synthesized nanoparticles were used for modification of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to produce our final product as PdNi@rGO/GCE, which were utilized for non-enzymatic detecting of glucose. In the present study, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), chronoamperometry (CA) and, cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods were implemented to investigate the sensing performance of the developed glucose electrode.
