The lower pT limit of deep hydrocarbon synthesis by CaCO₃ aqueous reduction.

ABSTRACT: The deep abiogenic synthesis of hydrocarbons is possible under the conditions of the asthenosphere. We have found that this process can also occur under the mineral and thermobaric conditions of subducting slabs. We have investigated the abiogenic synthesis of hydrocarbon systems at pressures of 2.0-6.6 GPa and temperatures of 250-600 °C. The determined lower thermobaric limit of the reaction at 280-300 °C and 2-3 GPa corresponds to a depth of 70-80 km during cold subduction. The hydrocarbon fluid formed in the slab can migrate upwards through the network of faults and fractures to form petroleum deposits.

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.

Cleavage of Calcitic CaCO3 during Dissolution in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Calcite cleavage was observed using a device to accelerate the formation and dissolution of calcitic CaCO3 by acidification in aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscopy showed that crystals formed within 1 day and dissolution began at 3 days of aging. In the X-ray diffraction pattern, calcite was predominantly formed but an amorphous phase did not exist, even after 12 days of aging. In the diffraction pattern and lattice images obtained using a series of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses, cleavages mainly occurred in the {101̅1} plane and some cleavages were observed through the {101̅4} plane.

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.

Aqueous Synthesis of Au10Pt1 Nanorods Decorated with MnO2 Nanosheets for the Enhanced Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol.

Project description:Developing novel catalysts with high activity and high stability for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is of great importance for the ever-broader applications of methanol fuel cells. Herein, we present a facile technique for synthesizing Au10Pt1@MnO2 catalysts using a wet chemical method and investigate their catalytic performance for the MOR. Notably, the Au10Pt1@MnO2-M composite demonstrated a significantly high peak mass activity of 15.52 A mg(Pt)-1, which is 35.3, 57.5, and 21.9 times greater than those of the Pt/C (0.44 A mg(Pt)-1), Pd/C (0.27 A mg(Pt)-1), and Au10Pt1 (0.71 A mg(Pt)-1) catalysts, respectively. Comparative analysis with commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts, as well as Au10Pt1 HSNRs, revealed that the Au10Pt1@MnO2-M composite exhibited the lowest initial potential, the highest peak current density, and superior CO anti-poisoning capability. The results demonstrate that the introduction of MnO2 nanosheets, with excellent oxidation capability, not only significantly increases the reactive sites, but also promotes the reaction kinetics of the catalyst. Furthermore, the high surface area of the MnO2 nanosheets facilitates charge transfer and induces modifications in the electronic structure of the composite. This research provides a straightforward and effective strategy for the design of efficient electrocatalytic nanostructures for MOR applications.

Facile aqueous-phase synthesis of Ag-Cu-Pt-Pd quadrometallic nanoparticles.

Project description:Ag-Cu-Pt-Pd quadrometallic nanoparticles which small Pt and Pd nanoparticles were attached on the surface of AgCu Janus nanoparticles were firstly synthesized by sequential reduction of Pt and Pd precursor in the presence of Janus AgCu bimetallic nanoparticles as seeds in an aqueous solution. Even though there was a small amount of Cu2O on the surface, the synthesized nanoparticles were mainly composed of four independent metallic part, not alloy parts. By theoretical calculation and growth mechanism study, we found that different reducing rate between Ag+ and Cu2+ and sequential reduction of Pt and Pd precursors would be key roles for the formation of the quadrometallic nanoparticles.

Influence of Alkali Metal Cations on the Oxygen Reduction Activity of Pt5Y and Pt5Gd Alloys.

Project description:Electrolyte species can significantly influence the electrocatalytic performance. In this work, we investigate the impact of alkali metal cations on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on active Pt5Gd and Pt5Y polycrystalline electrodes. Due to the strain effects, Pt alloys exhibit a higher kinetic current density of ORR than pure Pt electrodes in acidic media. In alkaline solutions, the kinetic current density of ORR for Pt alloys decreases linearly with the decreasing hydration energy in the order of Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+, whereas Pt shows the opposite trend. To gain further insights into these experimental results, we conduct complementary density functional theory calculations considering the effects of both electrode surface strain and electrolyte chemistry. The computational results reveal that the different trends in the ORR activity in alkaline media can be explained by the change in the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates with applied surface strain in the presence of alkali metal cations. Our findings provide important insights into the effects of the electrolyte and the strain conditions on the electrocatalytic performance and thus offer valuable guidelines for optimizing Pt-based electrocatalysts.

Synthesis, Characterization and Photoactivation Studies on the Novel Pt(IV)-Based [Pt(OCOCH3)3(phterpy)] Complex.

Project description:Photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs represent nowadays an intriguing class of potential metal-based drugs, endowed with more chemical inertness in their oxidized form and better selectivity for the target with respect to the clinically established Pt(II) compounds. In fact, they have the possibility to be reduced by light irradiation directly at the site of interest. For this reason, we synthesized a new Pt(IV) complex, [Pt(OCOCH3)3(4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)][CF3SO3] (1), that is well soluble in aqueous medium and totally unreactive towards selected model biomolecules until its reduction. The highlight of this work is the rapid and efficient photoreduction of 1 with visible light (460 nm), which leads to its reactive Pt(II) analogue. This behavior was made possible by taking advantage of an efficient catalytic system based on flavin and NADH, which is naturally present in the cellular environment. As a comparison, the reduction of 1 was also studied with simple UV irradiation, but both UV-Vis spectrophotometry and 1H-NMR spectrometry showed that the flavin-catalyzed reduction with visible light was faster. Lastly, the reactivity against two representative biological targets, i.e., human serum albumin and one monofilament oligonucleotide fragment, was evaluated by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The results clearly pointed out that the prodrug 1 did not interact with these targets until its photoreduction to the Pt(II) analogue.

High performance layer-by-layer Pt3Ni(Pt-skin)-modified Pd/C for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Bimetallic Pt-Ni with Pt on the outermost layer and an innermost layer enriched in Ni, referred to as Pt3Ni(Pt-skin), is a promising configuration of an electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. We prepare a core (Pd)/shell (Pt3Ni(Pt-skin)) catalyst (Pt3Ni(Pt-skin)/Pd/C) from Zn underpotential deposition (UPD) on a Ni UPD modified Pd/C catalyst, facilitating Pt atomic layer-by-layer growth on the Ni surface through the galvanic replacement process. Pt3Ni(Pt-skin)/Pd/C shows the best ORR performance, with a Pt specific activity of 16.7 mA cm-2 and Pt mass activity of 14.2 A mgPt-1, which are 90- and 156- fold improvements over commercial Pt/C catalysts. The Pt3Ni(Pt-skin) structure effectively inhibits Ni leaching to improve the durability in two accelerated durability test modes mimicking the catalyst lifetime and start-up/shut-down cycles.

Ternary Heterostructural Pt/CNx/Ni as a Supercatalyst for Oxygen Reduction.

Project description:We report here a supercatalyst for oxygen reduction of Pt/CNx/Ni in a unique ternary heterostructure, in which the Pt and the underlying Ni nanoparticles are separated by two to three layers of nitrogen-doped carbon (CNx), which mediates the transfer of electrons from the inner Ni to the outer Pt and protects the Ni against corrosion at the same time. The well-engineered low-Pt catalyst shows ∼780% enhanced specific mass activity or 490% enhanced specific surface activity compared with a commercial Pt/C catalyst toward oxygen reduction. More importantly, the exceptionally strong tune on the Pt by the unique structure makes the catalyst superbly stable, and its mass activity of 0.72 A/mgPt at 0.90 V (well above the US Department of Energy's 2020 target of 0.44 A/mgPt at 0.90 V) after 50,000 cyclic voltammetry cycles under acidic conditions is still better than that of the fresh commercial catalyst.

Origin of high oxygen reduction reaction activity of Pt12 and strategy to obtain better catalyst using sub-nanosized Pt-alloy clusters.

Project description:In the present study, methods to enhance the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of sub-nanosized Pt clusters were investigated in a theoretical manner. Using ab initio molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations based on density functional theory, we have succeeded in determining the origin of the superior ORR activity of Pt12 compared to that of Pt13. That is, it was clarified that the electronic structure of Pt12 fluctuates to a greater extent compared to that of Pt13, which leads to stronger resistance against catalyst poisoning by O/OH. Based on this conclusion, a set of sub-nanosized Pt-alloy clusters was also explored to find catalysts with better ORR activities and lower financial costs. It was suggested that Ga4Pt8, Ge4Pt8, and Sn4Pt8 would be good candidates for ORR catalysts.
