This dissertation presents the preparation and characterization of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite, and investigation of their catalytic activity in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane and ammonia-borane. Rh+3 ions were impregnated on hydroxyapatite by ion-exchange / then rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite were formed in-situ during the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane at room temperature. The rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite were isolated as black powders by centrifugation and characterized by ICP-OES, SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, and N2 adsorption-desorption spectroscopy. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite have a mean particle size of 2.7&plusmn / 0.7 nm. The catalytic activity of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite was tested separately in the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane and ammonia-borane. The hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane was started by adding the precatalysts, Rh+3-exchanged hydroxyapatite into the aqueous solution of hydrazine-borane / whereas, the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane was initiated by adding the catalyst rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite which have been isolated from the first run of hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite provide a turnover frequency value of 6700 h-1 in the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane at room temperature. The reuse experiments reveal that these supported nanoparticles are isolable, bottlable, and redispersible in solution. Furthermore, they retain 62 % of their initial activity at the fifth run in the hydrolysis of hydrazine-borane with release of 3 equivalents hydrogen. Activity of rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite is maintained after the redispersion of the sample and 3 equivalents hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane confirms the activity of preformed catalyst. Rhodium(0) nanoparticles supported on hydroxyapatite provide a turnover frequency value of 3990 h-1 in the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane at room temperature.
