The stability and catalytic activity of W₁₃@Pt₄₂ core-shell structure.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports a study of the electronic properties, structural stability and catalytic activity of the W₁₃@Pt₄₂ core-shell structure using the First-principles calculations. The degree of corrosion of W₁₃@Pt₄₂ core-shell structure is simulated in acid solutions and through molecular absorption. The absorption energy of OH for this structure is lower than that for Pt₅₅, which inhibits the poison effect of O containing intermediate. Furthermore we present the optimal path of oxygen reduction reaction catalyzed by W₁₃@Pt₄₂. Corresponding to the process of O molecular decomposition, the rate-limiting step of oxygen reduction reaction catalyzed by W₁₃@Pt₄₂ is 0.386 eV, which is lower than that for Pt55 of 0.5?eV. In addition by alloying with W, the core-shell structure reduces the consumption of Pt and enhances the catalytic efficiency, so W₁₃@Pt₄₂ has a promising perspective of industrial application.

O2 activation by core-shell Ru13@Pt42 particles in comparison with Pt55 particles: a DFT study.

Project description:The reaction of O2 with a Ru13@Pt42 core-shell particle consisting of a Ru13 core and a Pt42 shell was theoretically investigated in comparison with Pt55. The O2 binding energy with Pt55 is larger than that with Ru13@Pt42, and O-O bond cleavage occurs more easily with a smaller activation barrier (E a) on Pt55 than on Ru13@Pt42. Protonation to the Pt42 surface followed by one-electron reduction leads to the formation of an H atom on the surface with considerable exothermicity. The H atom reacts with the adsorbed O2 molecule to afford an OOH species with a larger E a value on Pt55 than on Ru13@Pt42. An OOH species is also formed by protonation of the adsorbed O2 molecule, followed by one-electron reduction, with a large exothermicity in both Pt55 and Ru13@Pt42. O-OH bond cleavage occurs with a smaller E a on Pt55 than on Ru13@Pt42. The lower reactivity of Ru13@Pt42 than that of Pt55 on the O-O and O-OH bond cleavages arises from the presence of lower energy in the d-valence band-top and d-band center in Ru13@Pt42 than in Pt55. The smaller E a for OOH formation on Ru13@Pt42 than on Pt55 arises from weaker Ru13@Pt42-O2 and Ru13@Pt42-H bonds than the Pt55-O2 and Pt55-H bonds, respectively. The low-energy d-valence band-top is responsible for the weak Ru13@Pt42-O and Ru13@Pt42-OH bonds. Thus, the low-energy d-valence band-top and d-band center are important properties of the Ru13@Pt42 particle.

Engineering Ru@Pt Core-Shell Catalysts for Enhanced Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction Mass Activity and Stability.

Project description:Improving the performance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts is essential for the commercial efficacy of many renewable energy technologies, including low temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). Herein, we report highly active and stable carbon-supported Ru@Pt core-shell nanoparticles (Ru@Pt/C) prepared by a wet chemical synthesis technique. Through rotating disc electrode testing, the Ru@Pt/C achieves an ORR Pt mass-based activity of 0.50 A mgPt-1 at 0.9 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which exceeds the activity of the state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C catalyst as well as the Department of Energy 2020 PEFC electrocatalyst activity targets for transportation applications. The impact of various synthetic parameters, including Pt to Ru ratios and catalyst pretreatments (i.e., annealing) are thoroughly explored. Pt-based mass activity of all prepared Ru@Pt/C catalysts was found to exceed 0.4 mgPt-1 across the range of compositions investigated, with the maximum activity catalyst having a Ru:Pt ratio of 1:1. This optimized composition of Ru@Pt/C catalyst demonstrated remarkable stability after 30,000 accelerated durability cycles (0.6 to 1.0 V vs. RHE at 125 mV s-1), maintaining 85% of its initial mass activity. Scanning transmission electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) analysis at various stages of electrochemical testing demonstrated that the Pt shell can provide sufficient protection against the dissolution of the otherwise unstable Ru core.

Mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowire electrocatalyst for efficient oxygen reduction.

Project description:The design of Pt-based nanoarchitectures with controllable compositions and morphologies is necessary to enhance their electrocatalytic activity. Herein, we report a rational design and synthesis of anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowires for high-efficient electrocatalysis. The catalyst has a uniform core-shell structure with an ultrathin atomic-jagged Pt nanowire core and a mesoporous Pt-skin Pt3Ni framework shell, possessing high electrocatalytic activity, stability and Pt utilisation efficiency. For the oxygen reduction reaction, the anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowires demonstrated exceptional mass and specific activities of 6.69 A/mgpt and 8.42 mA/cm2 (at 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode), and the catalyst exhibited high stability with negligible activity decay after 50,000 cycles. The mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt3Ni core-shell framework nanowire configuration combines the advantages of three-dimensional open mesopore molecular accessibility and compressive Pt-skin surface strains, which results in more catalytically active sites and weakened chemisorption of oxygenated species, thus boosting its catalytic activity and stability towards electrocatalysis.

A Novel Nanoprobe Based on Core-Shell Au@Pt@Mesoporous SiO2 Nanozyme With Enhanced Activity and Stability for Mumps Virus Diagnosis.

Project description:Nanoporous materials with core-shell structure have received lots of attention owing to the great versatility of the functional cores and shells and their potential application in catalysis and biological applications. In this work, a facile method has been developed to synthesize uniform Au@Pt@mesoporous SiO2 nanostructures with high peroxidase-like activity, which had a well-defined core-shell structure with Au nanorods@Pt nanodots as a core and mesoporous SiO2 as a shell. The mesoporous SiO2 shell can not only provide convenient transmission channels but offer a substantial location for accommodation of large biomolecules, such as antibodies and antigens. Here a novel nanoprobe based on Au@Pt@mesoporous SiO2 nanozyme modified with mumps antigens was reported. Notably, the encapsulation of Au@Pt nanorod in mesoporous SiO2 shell was able to hinder the interaction between catalytical nanoparticles and recognition antigens, retaining the catalytic activity of the inner active nanoparticle core. Furthermore, this nanoprobe exhibited an extraordinarily stability and showed excellent activity. As a result, we presented an enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of mumps virus; this proposed method exhibited good sensitivity to mumps-specific IgM antibodies. The limit of detection can be as low as 10 ng/mL, which was more sensitive compared to the conventional immunoassay. Our results indicated that this nanoprobe hold great promise with opportunities for applications of biosensors, catalysis and biotechnology.

Alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes through the structure evolution in Cu-Pt nanoparticles with a core-shell construction.

Project description:Noble metal nanoparticles with hollow interiors and customizable shell compositions have immense potential for catalysis. Herein, we present an unique structure transformation phenomenon for the fabrication of alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes with polyhedral morphology. This strategy starts with the preparation of polyhedral Cu-Pt nanoparticles with a core-shell construction upon the anisotropic growth of Pt on multiply twinned Cu seed particles, which are subsequently transformed into alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes due to the Kirkendall effect between the Cu core and Pt shell. The as-prepared alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes possess the rhombic dodecahedral morphology of their core-shell parents after the structural evolution. In particular, the resulting alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes are more effective for oxygen reduction reaction but ineffective for methanol oxidation reaction in comparison with their original Cu-Pt core-shell precursors.

Nickel platinum (Ni x Pt1-x ) nanoalloy monodisperse particles without the core-shell structure by colloidal synthesis.

Project description:We report a new and versatile colloidal route towards the synthesis of nanoalloys with controlled size and chemical composition in the solid solution phase (without phase segregation such as core-shell structure or Janus structure) or chemical ordering. The principle of the procedure is based on the correlation between the oxidation-reduction potential of metal cations present in the precursors and the required synthesis temperature to nucleate particles without phase segregation. The procedure is demonstrated via the synthesis of Face Centered Cubic (FCC) Ni x Pt1-x nanoparticles, which was elaborated by the co-reduction of nickel(ii) acetylacetonate and platinum(ii) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol in benzyl ether, using oleylamine and oleic acid as surfactants. The chemical composition and solid solution FCC structure of the nanoalloy are demonstrated by crosslinking imaging and chemical analysis using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Whatever the chemical composition inspected, a systematic expansion of the lattice parameters is measured in relation to the respective bulk counterpart.

Catalytic SO3 Decomposition Activity and Stability of Pt Supported on Anatase TiO2 for Solar Thermochemical Water-Splitting Cycles.

Project description:Pt-loaded anatase TiO2 (Pt/TiO2-A) was found to be a highly active and stable catalyst for SO3 decomposition at moderate temperatures (∼600 °C), which will prove to be the key for solar thermochemical water-splitting processes used to produce H2. The catalytic activity of Pt/TiO2-A was found to be markedly superior to that of a Pt catalyst supported on rutile TiO2 (Pt/TiO2-R), which has been extensively studied at a higher reaction temperature range (≥800 °C); this superior activity was found despite the two being tested with similar surface areas and metal dispersions after the catalytic reactions. The higher activity of Pt on anatase is in accordance with the abundance of metallic Pt (Pt0) found for this catalyst, which favors the dissociative adsorption of SO3 and the fast removal of the products (SO2 and O2) from the surface. Conversely, Pt was easily oxidized to the much less active PtO2 (Pt4+), with the strong interactions between the oxide and rutile TiO2 forming a fully coherent interface that limited the active sites. A long-term stability test of Pt/TiO2-A conducted for 1000 h at 600 °C demonstrated that there was no indication of noticeable deactivation (activity loss ≤ 4%) over the time period; this was because the phase transformation from anatase to rutile was completely prevented. The small amount of deactivation that occurred was due to the sintering of Pt and TiO2 and the loss of Pt under the harsh reaction atmosphere.

Surpassing the single-atom catalytic activity limit through paired Pt-O-Pt ensemble built from isolated Pt1 atoms.

Project description:Despite the maximized metal dispersion offered by single-atom catalysts, further improvement of intrinsic activity can be hindered by the lack of neighboring metal atoms in these systems. Here we report the use of isolated Pt1 atoms on ceria as "seeds" to develop a Pt-O-Pt ensemble, which is well-represented by a Pt8O14 model cluster that retains 100% metal dispersion. The Pt atom in the ensemble is 100-1000 times more active than their single-atom Pt1/CeO2 parent in catalyzing the low-temperature CO oxidation under oxygen-rich conditions. Rather than the Pt-O-Ce interfacial catalysis, the stable catalytic unit is the Pt-O-Pt site itself without participation of oxygen from the 10-30 nm-size ceria support. Similar Pt-O-Pt sites can be built on various ceria and even alumina, distinguishable by facile activation of oxygen through the paired Pt-O-Pt atoms. Extending this design to other reaction systems is a likely outcome of the findings reported here.

CNT-TiO2 core-shell structure: synthesis and photoelectrochemical characterization.

Project description:Porous composite coatings, made of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-TiO2 core-shell structure, were synthesized by the hybrid CVD-ALD process. The resulting TiO2 shell features an anatase crystalline structure that covers uniformly the surface of the CNTs. These composite coatings were investigated as photoanodes for the photo-electrochemical (PEC) water splitting reaction. The CNT-TiO2 core-shell configuration outperforms the bare TiO2 films obtained using the same process regardless of the deposited anatase thickness. The improvement factor, exceeding 400% in photocurrent featuring a core-shell structure, was attributed to the enhancement of the interface area with the electrolyte and the electrons fast withdrawal. The estimation of the photo-electrochemically effective surface area reveals that the strong absorption properties of CNT severely limit the light penetration depth in the CNT-TiO2 system.
