New insights on the mechanism of palladium-catalyzed hydrolysis of sodium borohydride from [.sup.11.B] NMR measurements

Article Abstract:

The NMR-suitable properties of palladium atoms are exploited in order to develop a very effective methodology for analyzing kinetics aspects of the Pd-catalyzed hydrolysis of NaB[H.sub.4]. The results have indicated that in the palladium-catalyzed process the rate constants of the exchange processes are higher than those of the corresponding hydrolysis reactions.

Interactions of hydrogen with Pd and Pd/Ni alloy chain-functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes from density functional theory

Article Abstract:

Density functional theory (DFT) is used to study Pd and Pd/Ni alloy monatomic chain-functionalized metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT(6,6)) and semiconducting SWNT(10,0) and their interactions with hydrogen molecules. The results have indicated that Pd/Ni-SWNT materials are very good [H.sub.2]-sensing materials.
