Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolution of cellulose in aqueous NaOH/urea solution: role of urea
TL;DR: In this paper, NMR was introduced to investigate the interaction between urea and the other components in solution, and results from chemical shifts and longitudinal relaxation times showed that urea has no strong direct interaction with cellulose as well as NaOH; urea does not have much influence on the structural dynamics of water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rh nanoparticles supported on graphene as efficient catalyst for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of amine boranes for chemical hydrogen storage
TL;DR: In this paper, 2.4-nm Rh nanoparticles supported on graphene have been synthesized via a one-step in situ procedure by using methylamine borane (MeAB) as the reducing agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of sodium zincate on cellulose dissolution in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at low temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, a small amount of ZnO was added to the NaOH/urea aqueous solution to increase the solubility of cellulose at low temperature, which has been demonstrated that Zn(OH) 4 2− could form stronger hydrogen bonds with cellulose than hydrated NaOH, leading to the enhancement of the dissolution power.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pd nanoparticles supported on MIL-101 as high-performance catalysts for catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane
TL;DR: In this article, a well dispersed ultrafine Pd NPs have been immobilized in the framework of MIL-101, and tested for the catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane.
Journal ArticleDOI
RuCu nanoparticles supported on graphene: A highly efficient catalyst for hydrolysis of ammonia borane
TL;DR: In this article, RuCu nanoparticles supported on graphene were in situ synthesized by a one-step co-reduction of aqueous solution of ruthenium (III) chloride, cupric (II) chloride and graphite oxide (GO) with ammonia borane (AB) under ambient condition.
