dc.description.abstractAlginate hydrogel beads were loaded with bimetallic NiPt nanoparticles by in situ reduction of the respective polymer matrix containing precursor metallic ions using a NaBH4 aqueous solution. The alginate hydrogel beads loaded with NiPt nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, AAS, FT-IR, TGA, XPS, and oscillatory rheometry. The prepared hybrid hydrogels were proven to be effective as catalytic materials for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) for quantitative hydrogen generation using catalytic loadings of 0.1 mol%. In addition, the reaction mechanism of the hydrolytic reaction using NiPt loaded alginate hydrogel beads was determined by Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The experimental results showed that the reaction mechanism consisted of an initial fast adsorption of reactants at the surface of the nanoparticles, followed by a rate-limiting surface reaction. The NiPt nanoalloys exhibited an enhanced behavior for hydrogen generation with a maximum TOF of 84.1 min-1, almost 71 % higher compared to monometallic platinum atoms, and likely related to a synergistic interaction between both metals. Finally, the hydrogel matrix enabled the material to be easily recovered from the reaction medium and reused in further catalytic cycles without desorption of active nanoparticles from the material.
