An efficient catalytic system for hydrogen production from aqueous solution of urea was developed using ruthenium-based catalysts as an alternative for existing systems based on several H2 carriers. Ru/SiO2 showed the highest H2 yield among various SiO2 -supported transition-metal catalysts. Optimization of the catalyst support revealed that Ru/Al2 O3 exhibited the best catalytic performance, with a minimum amount of CO formed as a by-product (1.8 mol %). A mechanistic study suggested that the reaction proceeds mainly via two steps: urea hydrolysis (H2 NCONH2 +H2 O→2 NH3 +CO2 ) followed by NH3 decomposition (2 NH3 →3 H2 +N2 ).
开发了一种使用基于钌的催化剂的高效催化体系,用于从尿素水溶液中制氢,以替代现有基于多种 H2 载体的系统。在各种负载于 SiO2 的过渡金属催化剂中,Ru/SiO2 表现出最高的 H2 产率。催化剂载体的优化结果表明,Ru/Al2 O3 表现出最佳的催化性能,形成的副产物 CO 最少(1.8 mol%)。机理研究表明,反应主要通过两步进行:尿素水解(H2 NCONH2 +H2 O→2 NH3 +CO2 ),随后是 NH3 分解(2 NH3 →3 H2 +N2 )。
