Mesoporous Pt nanospheres with designed pore surface as highly active electrocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: A novel strategy for large-scale synthesis of shape- and size-controlled mesoporous Pt nanospheres (MPNs) through a slow reduction reaction in the presence of surfactant is reported here for the first time. The slow reduction reaction exclusively results in well-defined mesoporous architectures distinctly different from the dendritic constructions reported previously. More importantly, abundant catalytically active sites are created on the highly accessible mesoporous surfaces by the selective adsorption of bromide ions. The MPNs prepared by using the new synthetic route not only show superior electrochemical performance toward methanol oxidation reaction and oxygen reduction reaction, but also exhibit extremely high structural thermostability, which makes them promising catalysts for industrial applications.

Mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt<sub>3</sub>Ni 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.

Mesoporous multimetallic nanospheres with exposed highly entropic alloy sites.

Project description:Multimetallic alloys (MMAs) with various compositions enrich the materials library with increasing diversity and have received much attention in catalysis applications. However, precisely shaping MMAs in mesoporous nanostructures and mapping the distributions of multiple elements remain big challenge due to the different reduction kinetics of various metal precursors and the complexity of crystal growth. Here we design a one-pot wet-chemical reduction approach to synthesize core-shell motif PtPdRhRuCu mesoporous nanospheres (PtPdRhRuCu MMNs) using a diblock copolymer as the soft template. The PtPdRhRuCu MMNs feature adjustable compositions and exposed porous structures rich in highly entropic alloy sites. The formation processes of the mesoporous structures and the reduction and growth kinetics of different metal precursors of PtPdRhRuCu MMNs are revealed. The PtPdRhRuCu MMNs exhibit robust electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities and low overpotentials of 10, 13, and 28 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline (1.0 M KOH), acidic (0.5 M H2SO4), and neutral (1.0 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS)) electrolytes, respectively. The accelerated kinetics of the HER in PtPdRhRuCu MMNs are derived from multiple compositions with synergistic interactions among various metal sites and mesoporous structures with excellent mass/electron transportation characteristics.

Highly aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles with cubic pore structure.

Project description:Mesoporous silica with cubic symmetry has attracted interest from researchers for some time. Here, we present the room temperature synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles possessing cubic Pm3n symmetry with very high molar ratios (>50%) of 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane. The synthesis is robust allowing, for example, co-condensation of organic dyes without loss of structure. By means of pore expander molecules, the pore size can be enlarged from 2.7 to 5 nm, while particle size decreases. Adding pore expander and co-condensing fluorescent dyes in the same synthesis reduces average particle size further down to 100 nm. After PEGylation, such fluorescent aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles are spontaneously taken up by cells as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy.

Alendronate Functionalized Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanospheres.

Project description:In this work we synthesized mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres (nMBG) with the aim to utilize them as substrates for loading one of the most potent amino-bisphosphonates, alendronate (AL). The results of the chemical and structural characterization show that the nMBG display a relatively high surface area (528 m²/g) and a mean pore volume of 0.63 cm³/g, both of which decrease on increasing alendronate content. It is possible to modulate the amount of AL loaded into the nanospheres up to a maximum value of about 17 wt %. In vitro tests were performed using a human osteosarcoma cell line (MG63) and a murine monocyte/macrophage cell line as osteoclast model (RAW 264.7). The results indicate that even the lower concentration of alendronate provokes decreased tumor cell viability, and that osteoclast activity exhibits an alendronate dose-dependent inhibition. The data suggest that nMBG can act as a suitable support for the local delivery of alendronate, and that the antiresorptive and antitumor properties of the functionalized mesoporous nanospheres can be modulated by varying the amount of alendronate loading.

Pt nanohelices with highly ordered horizontal pore channels as enhanced photothermal materials.

Project description:Recent studies have further demonstrated that the conjugation of noble metal helical nanostructures could alter their optical and catalytic activities. However, the intrinsic isotropic crystal growth of Pt makes the synthesis of high-quality Pt NCs with unique porous or branched nanostructures difficult. In this work, a new, powerful capping agent, N,N-dimethyloctadecylammonium bromide acetate sodium, was synthesized and used to coordinate Pt ions, slowing down the reaction rate. As a result, in aqueous solution, Pt nanohelices with highly ordered horizontal pore channels were successfully fabricated. Importantly, the Pt nanohelices were composed of several sub-2 nm Pt nanowires coiled together around a central point. The as-obtained samples exhibited enhanced photothermal properties compared with the classic Pt nanoparticles.

Multimetallic Hollow Mesoporous Nanospheres with Synergistically Structural and Compositional Effects for Highly Efficient Ethanol Electrooxidation.

Project description:Controlling the nanostructures and chemical compositions of the electrochemical nanocatalysts has been recognized as two prominent means to kinetically promote the electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we report a general "dual"-template synthesis methodology for the formation of multimetallic hollow mesoporous nanospheres (HMSs) with an adjustable interior hollow cavity and cylindrically opened mesoporous shell as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for ethanol oxidation reaction. Three-dimensional trimetallic PdAgCu HMSs were synthesized via in situ coreduction of Pd, Ag, and Cu precursors on "dual"-template structural directing surfactant of dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride in optimal synthesis conditions. Due to synergistic advantages on hollow mesoporous nanostructures and multimetallic compositions, the resultant PdAgCu HMSs exhibited significantly enhanced electrocatalytic performance toward ethanol oxidation reaction with a mass activity of 5.13 A mgPd -1 at a scan rate of 50 mV s-1 and operation stability (retained 1.09 A mgpd -1 after the electrocatalysis). The "dual"-template route will open a new avenue to rationally design multimetallic HMSs with controlled functions for broad applications.

Electrodeposition of Mesoporous Ni-Rich Ni-Pt Films for Highly Efficient Methanol Oxidation.

Project description:The use of soft templates for the electrosynthesis of mesoporous materials has shown tremendous potential in energy and environmental domains. Among all the approaches that have been featured in the literature, block copolymer-templated electrodeposition had robustness and a simple method, but it practically cannot be used for the synthesis of mesoporous materials not based on Pt or Au. Nonetheless, extending and understanding the possibilities and limitations of block copolymer-templated electrodeposition to other materials and substrates is still challenging. Herein, a critical analysis of the role of the solution's primary electroactive components and the applied potential were performed in order to understand their influences on the mesostructure of Ni-rich Ni-Pt mesoporous films. Among all the components, tetrahydrofuran and a platinum (IV) complex were shown to be crucial for the formation of a truly 3D mesoporous network. The electrosynthesized well-ordered mesoporous Ni-rich Ni-Pt deposits exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation in alkaline conditions, improved stability and durability after 1000 cycles, and minimal CO poisoning.

Amorphous Cobalt Vanadium Oxide as a Highly Active Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:The water-splitting reaction provides a promising mechanism to store renewable energies in the form of hydrogen fuel. The oxidation half-reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is a complex four-electron process that constitutes an efficiency bottleneck in water splitting. Here we report a highly active OER catalyst, cobalt vanadium oxide. The catalyst is designed on the basis of a volcano plot of metal-OH bond strength and activity. The catalyst can be synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The most active pure-phase material (a-CoVO x ) is X-ray amorphous and provides a 10 mA cm-2 current density at an overpotential of 347 mV in 1 M KOH electrolyte when immobilized on a flat substrate. The synthetic method can also be applied to coat a high-surface-area substrate such as nickel foam. On this three-dimensional substrate, the a-CoVO x catalyst is highly active, reaching 10 mA cm-2 at 254 mV overpotential, with a Tafel slope of only 35 mV dec-1. This work demonstrates a-CoVO x as a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution and validates M-OH bond strength as a practical descriptor in OER catalysis.

Mesoporous WC<sub>x</sub> Films with NiO-Protected Surface: Highly Active Electrocatalysts for the Alkaline Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Metal carbides are promising materials for electrocatalytic reactions such as water electrolysis. However, for application in catalysis for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), protection against oxidative corrosion, a high surface area with facile electrolyte access, and control over the exposed active surface sites are highly desirable. This study concerns a new method for the synthesis of porous tungsten carbide films with template-controlled porosity that are surface-modified with thin layers of nickel oxide (NiO) to obtain active and stable OER catalysts. The method relies on the synthesis of soft-templated mesoporous tungsten oxide (mp. WOx ) films, a pseudomorphic transformation into mesoporous tungsten carbide (mp. WCx ), and a subsequent shape-conformal deposition of finely dispersed NiO species by atomic layer deposition (ALD). As theoretically predicted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the highly conductive carbide support promotes the conversion of Ni2+ into Ni3+ , leading to remarkably improved utilization of OER-active sites in alkaline medium. The obtained Ni mass-specific activity is about 280 times that of mesoporous NiOx (mp. NiOx ) films. The NiO-coated WCx catalyst achieves an outstanding mass-specific activity of 1989 A gNi -1 in a rotating-disc electrode (RDE) setup at 25 °C using 0.1 m KOH as the electrolyte.
