Keskin, M.S.Ağirtaş, M.S.Şahın, Ö.Horoz, S.2024-12-242024-12-2420201842-3582https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12604/3945In this study, a TiO2-supported ruthenium catalyst (denoted as Ru/TiO2) was facilely synthesized by chemical reduction method without the use of any chemical reducing reagents. Using a 2 wt.% KBH4 + 1 wt.% KOH solution, hydrogen generation rate was as high as 137423.9 mL* min-1 g-1at 30 0C, and apparent activation energy was calculated as 55.48 kJ*mol-1. Compared with similar Ru-based catalysts reported in literature, the Ru/TiO2 catalyst synthesized by chemical reduction method in this study indicates higher catalytic activity and lower apparent activation energy. © 2020, S.C.
