Enhanced Catalytic Hydrogenation Performance of Rh-Co₂O₃ Heteroaggregate Nanostructures by in Situ Transformation of Rh@Co Core-Shell Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: In this work, poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-stabilized 3-5 nm Rh@Co core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by a sequential reduction method, which was further in situ transformed into Rh-Co₂O₃ heteroaggregate nanostructures on alumina supports. The studies of XRD, HAADF-STEM images with phase mappings, XPS, TPR, and DRIFT-IR with CO probes confirm that the as-synthesized Rh@Co nanoparticles were core-shell-like structures with Rh cores and Co-rich shells, and Rh-Co₂O₃ heteroaggregate nanostructures are obtained by calcination of Rh@Co nanoparticles and subsequent selective H₂ reduction. The Rh-Co₂O₃/Al₂O₃ nanostructures demonstrated enhanced catalytic performance for hydrogenations of various substituted nitroaromatics relative to individual Rh/Al₂O₃ and illustrated a high catalytic stability during recycling experiments for o-nitrophenol hydrogenation reactions. The catalytic performance enhancement of Rh-Co₂O₃/Al₂O₃ nanocatalysts is ascribed to the Rh-Co₂O₃ interfaces where the Rh-Co₂O₃ interaction not only prevents the active Rh particles from agglomeration but also promotes the catalytic hydrogenation performance.

Core-Shell-Like Structured Co3O4@SiO2 Catalyst for Highly Efficient Catalytic Elimination of Ozone.

Project description:Co3O4 is an environmental catalyst that can effectively decompose ozone, but is strongly affected by water vapor. In this study, Co3O4@SiO2 catalysts with a core-shell-like structure were synthesized following the hydrothermal method. At 60% relative humidity and a space velocity of 720,000 h-1, the prepared Co3O4@SiO2 obtained 95% ozone decomposition for 40 ppm ozone after 6 h, which far outperformed that of the 25wt% Co3O4/SiO2 catalysts. The superiority of Co3O4@SiO2 is ascribed to its core@shell structure, in which Co3O4 is wrapped inside the SiO2 shell structure to avoid air exposure. This research provides important guidance for the high humidity resistance of catalysts for ozone decomposition.

Plasmonic Ag@Cu2O core-shell nanostructures exhibiting near-infrared photothermal effect.

Project description:This work was devoted to the investigation of the optical properties, structural characterization, and photothermal conversion performance of Ag@Cu2O nanostructures. The selection of anisotropic silver core, specifically Ag nanocubes, was driven by the possibility to tune LSPR across a broader range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The thickness of the Cu2O shell was intentionally changed through the variation in the Cu salt to the metal core nanoparticles ratios. The LSPRs of Ag(nanocube)@Cu2O core-shell nanoparticles can be fine-tuned to the spectral region to become resonant with the excitation wavelengths of 808 nm NIR laser. Due to the high refractive index of the deposited Cu2O, the redshifts of the plasmon band wavelength in the extinction spectra were observed. Consequently, the photothermal activities of the Ag(nanocube)@Cu2O core-shell NPs have been controlled by the shell thickness at the nanoscale. Ag@Cu2O nanoparticles with thickest shell (∼70 nm) exhibit the most efficient NIR photothermal effect under the irradiation of 808 nm laser at ambient conditions. Results of this work demonstrate that Ag@Cu2O hetero-nanostructures may be optimized and used for the efficient transformation of light into other forms of energy, specifically heat.

Advanced binder-free electrodes based on CoMn2O4@Co3O4 core/shell nanostructures for high-performance supercapacitors.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical CoMn2O4@Co3O4 core/shell nanoneedle/nanosheet arrays for high-performance supercapacitors were designed and synthesized on Ni foam by a two-step hydrothermal route. The hybrid nanostructure exhibits much more excellent capacitive behavior compared with either the pristine CoMn2O4 nanoneedle arrays alone or Co3O4 nanosheets alone. The formation of an interconnected pore hybrid system is quite beneficial for the facile electrolyte penetration and fast electron transport. The CoMn2O4@Co3O4 electrode can achieve a high specific capacitance of 1627 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 1376 F g-1 at 10 A g-1. In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled by using the CoMn2O4@Co3O4 core/shell hybrid nanostructure arrays on Ni foam as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode in an aqueous 3 M KOH electrolyte. A specific capacitance of 125.8 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 (89.2% retention after 5000 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 2 A g-1) and a high energy density of 44.8 W h kg-1 was obtained. The results indicate that the obtained unique integrated CoMn2O4@Co3O4 nanoarchitecture may show great promise as ASC electrodes for potential applications in energy storage.

Plasma-Catalytic CO2 Hydrogenation over a Pd/ZnO Catalyst: In Situ Probing of Gas-Phase and Surface Reactions.

Project description:Plasma-catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a complex chemical process combining plasma-assisted gas-phase and surface reactions. Herein, we investigated CO2 hydrogenation over Pd/ZnO and ZnO in a tubular dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor at ambient pressure. Compared to the CO2 hydrogenation using Plasma Only or Plasma + ZnO, placing Pd/ZnO in the DBD almost doubled the conversion of CO2 (36.7%) and CO yield (35.5%). The reaction pathways in the plasma-enhanced catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 were investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using a novel integrated in situ DBD/FTIR gas cell reactor, combined with online mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, kinetic analysis, and emission spectroscopic measurements. In plasma CO2 hydrogenation over Pd/ZnO, the hydrogenation of adsorbed surface CO2 on Pd/ZnO is the dominant reaction route for the enhanced CO2 conversion, which can be ascribed to the generation of a ZnO x overlay as a result of the strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) at the Pd-ZnO interface and the presence of abundant H species at the surface of Pd/ZnO; however, this important surface reaction can be limited in the Plasma + ZnO system due to a lack of active H species present on the ZnO surface and the absence of the SMSI. Instead, CO2 splitting to CO, both in the plasma gas phase and on the surface of ZnO, is believed to make an important contribution to the conversion of CO2 in the Plasma + ZnO system.

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

Project description: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.

Oriented exchange-coupled L10-FePt/Co core-shell nanoparticles with variable Co thickness.

Project description:Exchange-coupled core-shell nanoparticles are expected to be the new generation of permanent magnets, where the orientation of the hard magnetic phase is supposed to play a key role in improving their magnetic performance. In this work, L10-FePt/Co core-shell nanoparticles with Co thickness ranging from 0.6 to 2.2 nm have been synthesized by a seed-mediated growth method. The exchange coupling effect between the hard core and soft shell led to a 60% improvement of the maximum magnetic energy product ((BH)max), compared with the pure L10-FePt core. By tuning the amount of precursor, nanoparticles with different Co shell thicknesses were synthesized. Furthermore, the L10-FePt/Co core-shell nanoparticles were dispersed in epoxy resin and oriented under an external magnetic field. The (BH)max of the anisotropic nanocomposite magnet with a Co thickness of 1 nm is 7.1 MGOe, enhanced by 117% compared with the isotropic L10-FePt magnet, which paves the way for the development of high-performance permanent magnets for energy conversion applications.

Core-shell and segmented polymer-metal composite nanostructures.

Project description:Composite nanostructures (approximately 200 nm wide and several micrometers long) of metal and polyaniline (PANI) in two new variations of core-shell (PANI-Au) and segmented (Au-PANI and Ni-Au-PANI) architectures were fabricated electrochemically within anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. Control over the structure of these composites (including the length of the gold shells in the core-shell structures) was accomplished by adjusting the time and rate of electrodeposition and the pH of the solution from which the materials were grown. Exposure of the core-shell structures to oxygen plasma removed the PANI and yielded aligned gold nanotubes. In the segmented structures, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of thioaniline nucleated the growth of PANI on top of metal nanorods and acted as an adhesion layer between the metal and PANI components.

Enhanced functionalization of Mn2O3@SiO2 core-shell nanostructures.

Project description:Core-shell nanostructures of Mn2O3@SiO2, Mn2O3@amino-functionalized silica, Mn2O3@vinyl-functionalized silica, and Mn2O3@allyl-functionalized silica were synthesized using the hydrolysis of the respective organosilane precursor over Mn2O3 nanoparticles dispersed using colloidal solutions of Tergitol and cyclohexane. The synthetic methodology used is an improvement over the commonly used post-grafting or co-condensation method as it ensures a high density of functional groups over the core-shell nanostructures. The high density of functional groups can be useful in immobilization of biomolecules and drugs and thus can be used in targeted drug delivery. The high density of functional groups can be used for extraction of elements present in trace amounts. These functionalized core-shell nanostructures were characterized using TEM, IR, and zeta potential studies. The zeta potential study shows that the hydrolysis of organosilane to form the shell results in more number of functional groups on it as compared to the shell formed using post-grafting method. The amino-functionalized core-shell nanostructures were used for the immobilization of glucose and L-methionine and were characterized by zeta potential studies.

Rh@Au Core-Shell Nanocrystals with the Core in Tensile Strain and the Shell in Compressive Strain.

Project description:Bimetallic nanocrystals provide a versatile platform for utilizing the desired characteristics of two different elements within one particle. Core-shell nanocrystals, in particular, have found widespread use in catalysis by providing an ability to leverage the strains arising from the lattice mismatch between the core and the shell. However, large (>5%) lattice mismatch tends to result in nonepitaxial growth and lattice defects in an effort to release the strain. Herein, we report the epitaxial growth of Au on Rh cubic seeds under mild reaction conditions to generate Rh@Au truncated octahedra featuring a lattice mismatch of 7.2%. Key to the success was the use of small (4.5 nm) Rh cubes as seeds, which could homogeneously distribute the tensile strain arising from the epitaxial growth of a conformal, compressively strained Au shell. Further, delicate tuning of kinetic parameters through the introduction of NaOH and KBr into the synthesis allowed for a unique nucleation pattern that led to centrally located cores and a narrow size distribution for the product. A thorough investigation of the various possible highly strained morphologies was conducted to gain a full understanding of the system.

SrTiO3@NiFe LDH core-shell composites for photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Project description:A series of core@shell SrTiO3@NiFe LDH composites (STONFs) were synthesized and their photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance was studied. The photocatalyst STONF 2 exhibited enhanced CO2 reduction performance with CO yield of 7.9 μmol g-1 h-1. The yield was 25.7 times and 8.8 times higher than that of NiFe LDH and SrTiO3 respectively, and also higher than most LDH based photocatalysts. Compared with two individual components, STONFs exhibited their combined merits of widened absorption spectrum, higher transportation efficiency and alleviated recombination of e-/h+ pairs. In addition, there were fewer oxygen vacancies in STONF 2 than as-prepared SrTiO3. Lower oxygen vacancies concentration would increase the opportunity of direct bonding between interface atoms of two components and successively increase the electron transportation and separation. These factors synergistically contributed to enhanced photocatalytic performance. This work will provide new insight for designing complementary multi-component photocatalysis systems.
