Abstract:

For the purpose of preparing the Ni(II)-Schiff-supported Complex, the Ni(II)-Schiff-supported Complex, which was synthesized in our previous work, was achieved by the Ni(II)-Schiff-supported Complex, which was attached to SiO2.  This prepared SiO2-backed complex was used as a catalyst in the NaBH4 hydrolysis reaction for hydrogen production to consider its catalytic activity. The structure of this prepared catalyst was illuminated by spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, SEM, XRD, BET analysis. The hydrolysis reaction of NaBH4 where some complexes are used as a catalyst; NaOH and NaBH4 concentration, catalyst quantity, Ni(II)-Schiff where some complexes are found within the Ni(II)-Schiff complexes were studied depending on the percentage and temperature of some complexes.  The maximum reaction speed (R0) of NaBH4 hydrolysis reaction is 13005 mL H2 g-1 times. The reaction’s activation energy (Ea) is estimated at 16.633 kJ/mol and the reaction speed scale n is estimated at 0.3.
