Hot Hole Enhanced Synergistic Catalytic Oxidation on Pt-Cu Alloy Clusters.

ABSTRACT: Hot holes in Pt-Cu alloy clusters can act as catalyst to accelerate the intrinsic aerobic oxidation reactions. It is described that under visible light irradiation the synergistic alcohol catalytic oxidation on Pt-Cu alloy clusters (?1.1 nm)/TiO₂ nanobelts could be significant promoted by interband-excitation-generated long-lifetime hot holes in the clusters.

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.

Atmosphere-Induced Transient Structural Transformations of Pd-Cu and Pt-Cu Alloy Nanocrystals.

Project description:We have investigated the transformations of colloidal Pd-Cu and Pt-Cu bimetallic alloy nanocrystals (NCs) supported on γ-Al2O3 when exposed to a sequence of oxidizing and then reducing atmospheres, in both cases at high temperature (350 °C). A combination of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy was employed to probe the NC surface chemistry and structural/compositional variations in response to the different test conditions. Depending on the type of noble metal in the bimetallic NCs (whether Pd or Pt), different outcomes were observed. The oxidizing treatment on Pd-Cu NCs led to the formation of a PdCuO mixed oxide and PdO along with a minor fraction of CuO x species on the support. The same treatment on Pt-Cu NCs caused a complete dealloying between Pt and Cu, forming separate Pt NCs with a minor fraction of PtO NCs and CuO x species, the latter finely dispersed on the support. The reducing treatment that followed the oxidizing treatment largely restored the Pd-Cu alloy NCs, although with a residual fraction of CuO x species remaining. Similarly, Pt-Cu NCs were partially restored but with a large fraction of CuO x species still located on the support. Our results indicate that the noble metal present in the bimetallic Cu-based alloy NCs has a strong influence on the dealloying/migrations/realloying processes occurring under typical heterogeneous catalytic reactions, elucidating the structural/compositional variations of these NCs depending on the atmospheres to which they are exposed.

Heterometallic Ni-Pt Chini-Type Carbonyl Clusters: An Example of Molecular Random Alloy Clusters.

Project description:The direct reactions of homometallic [Ni6(CO)12]2- and [Pt6(CO)12]2- Chini carbonyl clusters result in heterometallic Ni-Pt Chini-type clusters of the general formula [Pt6-xNix(CO)12]2- (x = 0-6). Their molecular structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), showing a common octahedral (staggered, D3d) structure analogous to that of [Ni6(CO)12]2-, whereas [Pt6(CO)12]2- displays a trigonal-prismatic (eclipsed, D3h) structure. This structural change after replacing one single Pt with Ni may be classified as an alloying effect, and it has been theoretically investigated by DFT methods. Spectroscopic (IR and 195Pt and 13C NMR) and ESI-MS studies indicate that mixtures of [Pt6-xNix(CO)12]2- (x = 0-6) clusters are actually present in solution, whose compositions may be varied in an almost continuous way. Thus, they may be viewed as random alloy clusters whose overall compositions depend on the stoichiometry of the reagents.

Decoration of Pt on Cu/Co double-doped CeO2 nanospheres and their greatly enhanced catalytic activity.

Project description:In this paper, we report an efficient strategy for the synthesis of Cu/Co double-doped CeO2 nanospheres (Cu x Co1-x -CeO2-Pt, 0 ? x ? 1), which were fabricated via a simple water-glycol system. The following in situ surface decoration of Pt nanoparticles make these nanospheres highly active for the catalytic reduction of nitrophenol and CO oxidation. Detailed tests show that their catalytic performance strongly depends on the doping components and ion concentration of Cu and Co ions. The best samples of Cu0.50Co0.50-CeO2-Pt and Cu0.34Co0.66-CeO2-Pt demonstrate an excellent turnover frequency (TOF) of more than 450 h-1 after five cycles and retains about 99% conversion by using NH3BH3 as a reductant to reduce nitrophenol. Moreover, Cu0.50Co0.50-CeO2-Pt possesses a much lower light-off and T100 (the temperature for 100% CO oxidation) temperature compared with the other catalysts.

Low-Temperature Catalytic NO Reduction with CO by Subnanometric Pt Clusters.

Project description:The catalytic subnanometric metal clusters with a few atoms can be regarded as an intermediate state between single atoms and metal nanoparticles (>1 nm). Their molecule-like electronic structures and flexible geometric structures bring rich chemistry and also a different catalytic behavior, in comparison with the single-atom or nanoparticulate counterparts. In this work, by combination of operando IR spectroscopy techniques and electronic structure calculations, we will show a comparative study on Pt catalysts for CO + NO reaction at a very low temperature range (140-200 K). It has been found that single Pt atoms immobilized on MCM-22 zeolite are not stable under reaction conditions and agglomerate into Pt nanoclusters and particles, which are the working active sites for CO + NO reaction. In the case of the catalyst containing Pt nanoparticles (∼2 nm), the oxidation of CO to CO2 occurs in a much lower extension, and Pt nanoparticles become poisoned under reaction conditions because of a strong interaction with CO and NO. Therefore, only subnanometric Pt clusters allow NO dissociation at a low temperature and CO oxidation to occur well on the surface, while CO interaction is weak enough to avoid catalyst poisoning, resulting in a good balance to achieve enhanced catalytic performance.

First-Principles Calculation, Synthesis, and Catalytic Properties of Rh-Cu Alloy Nanoparticles.

Project description:The first synthesis of pure Rh1-x Cux solid-solution nanoparticles is reported. In contrast to the bulk state, the solid-solution phase was stable up to 750 °C. Based on facile density-functional calculations, we made a prediction that the catalytic activity of Rh1-x Cux can be maintained even with 50 at % replacement of Rh with Cu. The prediction was confirmed for the catalytic activities on CO and NOx conversions.

Modulating Pt-O-Pt atomic clusters with isolated cobalt atoms for enhanced hydrogen evolution catalysis.

Project description:Platinum is the most efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic conditions, but its widespread use has been impeded by scarcity and high cost. Herein, Pt atomic clusters (Pt ACs) containing Pt-O-Pt units were prepared using Co/N co-doped carbon (CoNC) as support. Pt ACs are anchored to single Co atoms on CoNC by forming strong interactions. Pt-ACs/CoNC exhibits only 24 mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2 and a high mass activity of 28.6 A mg-1 at 50 mV, which is more than 6 times higher than commercial Pt/C with any Pt loadings. Spectroscopic measurements and computational modeling reveal the enhanced hydrogen generation activity attributes to the charge redistribution between Pt and O atoms in Pt-O-Pt units, making Pt atoms the main active sites and O linkers the assistants, thus optimizing the proton adsorption and hydrogen desorption. This work opens an avenue to fabricate noble-metal-based ACs stabilized by single-atom catalysts with desired properties for electrocatalysis.

Enhanced antibacterial behavior of a novel Cu-bearing high-entropy alloy.

Project description:Contact infection of bacteria and viruses has been a critical threat to human health. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 put forward urgent requirements for the research and development of the self-antibacterial materials, especially the antibacterial alloys. Based on the concept of high-entropy alloys, the present work designed and prepared a novel Co0.4FeCr0.9Cu0.3 antibacterial high-entropy alloy with superior antibacterial properties without intricate or rigorous annealing processes, which outperform the antibacterial stainless steels. The antibacterial tests presented a 99.97% antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli and a 99.96% antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus after 24 h. In contrast, the classic antibacterial copper-bearing stainless steel only performed the 71.50% and 80.84% antibacterial rate, respectively. The results of the reactive oxygen species analysis indicated that the copper ion release and the immediate contact with copper-rich phase had a synergistic effect in enhancing antibacterial properties. Moreover, this alloy exhibited excellent corrosion resistance when compared with the classic antibacterial stainless steels, and the compression test indicated the yield strength of the alloy was 1015 MPa. These findings generate fresh insights into guiding the designs of structure-function-integrated antibacterial alloys.

Facile Synthesis of Nanoporous Pt-Y alloy with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity and Durability.

Project description:Recently, Pt-Y alloy has displayed an excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and is regarded as a promising cathode catalyst for fuel cells. However, the bulk production of nanoscaled Pt-Y alloy with outstanding catalytic performance remains a great challenge. Here, we address the challenge through a simple dealloying method to synthesize nanoporous Pt-Y alloy (NP-PtY) with a typical ligament size of ~5 nm. By combining the intrinsic superior electrocatalytic activity of Pt-Y alloy with the special nanoporous structure, the NP-PtY bimetallic catalyst presents higher activity for ORR and ethanol oxidation reaction, and better electrocatalytic stability than the commercial Pt/C catalyst and nanoporous Pt alloy. The as-made NP-PtY holds great application potential as a promising electrocatalyst in proton exchange membrane fuel cells due to the advantages of facile preparation and excellent catalytic performance.

Enhanced catalytic performance of Pt by coupling with carbon defects.

Project description:Defect engineering is a promising strategy for supported catalysts to improve the catalytic activity and durability. Here, we selected the carbon (C) matrix enriched with topological defects to serve as the substrate material, in which the topological defects can act as anchoring centers to trap Pt nanoparticles for driving the O2 reduction reactions (ORRs). Both experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations revealed the strong Pt-defect interaction with enhanced charge transfer on the interface. Despite a low Pt loading, the supported catalyst can still achieve a remarkable 55 mV positive shift of half-wave potential toward ORR in O2-saturated 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte compared with the commercial Pt catalyst on graphitized C. Moreover, the degeneration after 5,000 voltage cycles was negligible. This finding indicates that the presence of strong interaction between Pt and topological C defects can not only stabilize Pt nanoparticles but also optimize the electronic structures of Pt/C catalysts toward ORR.
