Facile Aqueous-Phase Synthesis of Bimetallic (AgPt, AgPd, and CuPt) and Trimetallic (AgCuPt) Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Multi-metallic nanoparticles continue to attract attention, due to their great potential in various applications. In this paper, we report a facile aqueous-phase synthesis for multi-metallic nanoparticles, including AgPt, AgPd, CuPt, and AgCuPt, by a co-reduction method within a short reaction time of 10 min. The atomic ratio of bimetallic nanoparticles was easily controlled by varying the ratio of each precursor. In addition, we found that AgCuPt trimetallic nanoparticles had a core-shell structure with an Ag core and CuPt shell.

Trimetallic nanostructures: the case of AgPd-Pt multiply twinned nanoparticles.

Project description:We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and atomistic simulations of AgPd-Pt trimetallic (TM) nanoparticles. Two types of structure were synthesized using a relatively facile chemical method: multiply twinned core-shell, and hollow particles. The nanoparticles were small in size, with an average diameter of 11 nm and a narrow distribution, and their characterization by aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy allowed us to probe the structure of the particles at an atomistic level. In some nanoparticles, the formation of a hollow structure was also observed, that facilitates the alloying of Ag and Pt in the shell region and the segregation of Ag atoms on the surface, affecting the catalytic activity and stability. We also investigated the growth mechanism of the nanoparticles using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, and we have found that Pt regions grow at overpotentials on the AgPd nanoalloys, forming 3D islands at the early stages of the deposition process. We found very good agreement between the simulated structures and those observed experimentally.

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.

Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Efficient Catalysts: Facile and Green Microwave Synthesis.

Project description:This work deals with the development of a green and versatile synthesis of stable mono- and bi-metallic colloids by means of microwave heating and exploiting ecofriendly reagents: water as the solvent, glucose as a mild and non-toxic reducer and polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) as the chelating agent. Particle size-control, total reaction yield and long-term stability of colloids were achieved with this method of preparation. All of the materials were tested as effective catalysts in the reduction of p-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH₄ as the probe reaction. A synergistic positive effect of the bimetallic phase was assessed for Au/Cu and Pd/Au alloy nanoparticles, the latter showing the highest catalytic performance. Moreover, monoand bi-metallic colloids were used to prepare TiO₂- and CeO₂-supported catalysts for the liquid phase oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfufural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). The use of Au/Cu and Au/Pd bimetallic catalysts led to an increase in FDCA selectivity. Finally, preformed Pd/Cu nanoparticles were incorporated into the structure of MCM-41-silica. The resulting Pd/Cu MCM-41 catalysts were tested in the hydrodechlorination of CF₃OCFClCF₂Cl to CF₃OCF=CF₂. The effect of Cu on the hydrogenating properties of Pd was demonstrated.

Facile synthesis of copper, nickel and their bimetallic nanoparticles: optical and structural characterization.

Project description:This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of some spherical crystalline copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and their bimetallic (Cu-Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) produced in deionized (DI) water via pulse laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) technique. XRD and SAED patterns showed the high crystallinity of the synthesized nanostructures with face-centered cubic structure. The TEM and HRTEM images revealed the nucleation of spherical nanocrystals with a size range of 2.5-25 nm, and no remarkable aggregation was seen. Some core-shell oxidized Cu and Ni nanostructures related to the dissolved oxygen in DI water were detected. The UV-Vis absorption spectra at different aging times showed that pure metal nanoparticles are more stable than bimetallic nanoparticles. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption peaks were recorded at 645 nm and 596 nm wavelengths for Cu and Cu-Ni colloidal solutions, respectively. The PL emission peaks at shorter wavelengths indicated that synthesized nanoparticles are blue luminescent. The achievement of pure and spherical copper, nickel, and their bimetallic nanoparticles with enhanced optical properties could be beneficial for advancing photocatalysis and antibacterial activity.

Facile emulsion mediated synthesis of phase-pure diopside nanoparticles.

Project description:Diopside is a common natural pyroxene that is rarely found in a pure state, since magnesium is often partially substituted by iron, and other elements (sodium and aluminum) are often present. This pyroxene, along with feldspars and olivines, is common in concrete. As the prospective license renewal of light water reactors to 80 years of operation has raised concerns on the effects of radiation in the concrete biological shield surrounding the reactors, mineral nanoparticles can be valuable to perform amorphization studies to inform predictive models of mechanical properties of irradiated concrete. The synthesis of diopside nanoparticles was achieved in this study using a reverse-micelle sol-gel method employing TEOS, calcium chloride and Mg(MeO)2 in a methanol/toluene solution. Tert-butylamine and water were used as hydrolysis agents, and dodecylamine as a surfactant. The resulting amorphous precursor was centrifuged to remove organics and fired at 800 °C. Additional reaction with hydrogen peroxide was used to remove amine remnants. TEM and SEM examinations revealed a product comprised of 50-100 nm diameter nanoparticles. XRD indicated phase pure diopside and BET indicated a surface area of 63.5 m2/g before peroxide treatment, which at a bulk density of 3.4 g/cm3 is equivalent to particles with diameter of 28 nm.

Bimetallic AgPt Nanoalloys as an Electrocatalyst for Ethanol Oxidation Reaction: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Electro-Catalytic Activity.

Project description:In the present work, the chemical synthesis of AgPt nanoalloys is reported by the polyol method using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a surfactant and a heterogeneous nucleation approach. Nanoparticles with different atomic compositions of the Ag and Pt elements (1:1 and 1:3) were synthesized by adjusting the molar ratios of the precursors. The physicochemical and microstructural characterization was initially performed using the UV-Vis technique to determine the presence of nanoparticles in suspension. Then, the morphology, size, and atomic structure were determined using XRD, SEM, and HAADF-STEM techniques, confirming the formation of a well-defined crystalline structure and homogeneous nanoalloy with an average particle size of less than 10 nm. Finally, the cyclic voltammetry technique evaluated the electrochemical activity of bimetallic AgPt nanoparticles supported on Vulcan XC-72 carbon for the ethanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium. Chronoamperometry and accelerated electrochemical degradation tests were performed to determine their stability and long-term durability. The synthesized AgPt (1:3)/C electrocatalyst presented significative catalytic activity and superior durability due to the introduction of Ag that weakens the chemisorption of the carbonaceous species. Thus, it could be an attractive candidate for cost-effective ethanol oxidation compared to commercial Pt/C.

Synthesis of amorphous trimetallic PdCuNiP nanoparticles for enhanced OER.

Project description:Metal phosphides with multi-element components and amorphous structure represent a novel kind of electrocatalysts for promising activity and durability towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, a two-step strategy, including alloying and phosphating processes, is reported to synthesize trimetallic amorphous PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles for efficient OER under alkaline conditions. The synergistic effect between Pd, Cu, Ni, and P elements, as well as the amorphous structure of the obtained PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles, would boost the intrinsic catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticles towards a wide range of reactions. These obtained trimetallic amorphous PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles exhibit long-term stability, nearly a 20-fold increase in mass activity toward OER compared with the initial Pd nanoparticles, and 223 mV lower in overpotential at 10 mA cm-2. This work not only provides a reliable synthetic strategy for multi-metallic phosphide nanoparticles, but also expands the potential applications of this promising class of multi-metallic amorphous phosphides.

Facile Aqueous-Phase Synthesis of an Ultrasmall Bismuth Nanocatalyst for the Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol.

Project description:Bismuth metallic nanoparticles have evoked considerable interest in catalysis owing to their small size, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and low toxicity. However, the need for toxic reductants and organic solvents in their synthesis often limits their desirability for application development. Here, we describe a green strategy to synthesize bismuth nanodots via the redox reactions between bismuth nitrate and d-glucose, in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in the basic aqueous phase. Both reagents play a crucial role in the formation of monodisperse bismuth nanodots acting as mild reducing and capping agents, respectively. We further demonstrate that the catalytic activity of these dots via the successful reduction of the environmental contaminant 4-nitrophenol to its useful 4-aminophenol analogue requiring only 36 μg/mL nanocatalyst for 20 mM of the substrate. Moreover, they can be recovered and recycled in multiple reactions before the onset of an appreciable loss of catalytic activity. The proposed facile synthetic route and inexpensive matrix materials lead the way to access bismuth nanodots for both the fundamental study of reactions and their industrial catalysis applications.

Sonochemical Synthesis of Cu@Pt Bimetallic Nanoparticles.

Project description:Reducing the amount of noble metals in catalysts for electrochemical conversion devices is paramount if these devices are to be commercialized. Taking advantage of the high degree of particle property control displayed by the sonochemical method, we set out to synthesize Cu@Pt bimetallic nanocatalysts in an effort to improve the mass activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction. At least 17 times higher mass activity was found for the carbon supported Cu@Pt bimetallic nanocatalyst (737 mA mg-1, E = -20&nbsp;mV) compared to carbon supported Pt nanocatalysts prepared with the same ultrasound conditions (44 mA mg-1, E = -20&nbsp;mV). The synthesis was found to proceed with the sonochemical formation of Cu and Cu2O nanoparticles with the addition of PtCl4 leading to galvanic displacement of the Cu-nanoparticles and the formation of a Pt-shell around the Cu-core.

Bimetallic AgPd/UiO-66 Hybrid Catalysts for Propylene Glycol Oxidation into Lactic Acid.

Project description:Different methods (the wetness impregnation of Ag and Pd precursors dissolved in water or acetonitrile solution, and the double solvent impregnation technique) were employed to immobilize Ag-Pd nanoparticles (NPs) into the pores of the microporous zirconium-based metal-organic framework known as UiO-66. The obtained materials were characterized by using nitrogen adsorption-desorption at -196 °C, powder X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis diffusion reflectance spectroscopy, and transition electron microscopy measurements. Special attention was paid to the acid and redox properties of the obtained materials, which were studied by using temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (TPD-NH3) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR-H2) methods. The use of a drying procedure prior to reduction was found to result in metallic NPs which, most likely, formed on the external surface and were larger than corresponding voids of the metal-organic framework. The formation of Ag-Pd alloy or monometallic Ag and Pd depended on the nature of both metal precursors and the impregnation solvent used. Catalytic activity of the AgPd/UiO-66 materials in propylene glycol oxidation was found to be a result of synergistic interaction between the components in AgPd alloyed NPs immobilized in the pore space and on the external surface of UiO-66. The key factor for consistent transformation of propylene glycol into lactic acid was the proximity between redox and acid-base species.
