Rapid Ag Nanofiber Formation Via Pt Nanoparticle-Assisted H₂-Free Reduction of Ag⁺-Containing Polymers.

ABSTRACT: One-dimensional Ag nanostructure-based networks have garnered significant attention as next-generation transparent conductive materials. Ag nanofibers (NFs) with high aspect ratios decrease the number density required for percolation; hence, they form qualitatively superior transparent conductive films. This study reports a novel method for rapidly fabricating Ag NFs via Pt nanoparticle-assisted H₂-free reduction of solid-state AgNO₃. Our results first indicated that polymers can be a source of hydrogen gas in the presence of Pt nanoparticles; Ag NFs with aspect ratios above 10⁵ were obtained herein by heating AgNO₃-containing polymer NFs in a short period of time and in an open-air environment. Our method not only successfully reduced the amount of polymer residue often encountered in spun NFs but also created an effective self-supporting reduction system that does not require an external reducing gas supply. The obtained Ag NF networks were highly conductive and transparent. Moreover, the mechanism of Ag NF formation was investigated. We demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits a high potential for producing high yields of Ag NFs in a simple and rapid manner.

Reversible PtII-CH3 deuteration without methane loss: metal-ligand cooperation vs. ligand-assisted PtII-protonation.

Project description:Di(2-pyridyl)ketone dimethylplatinum(ii), (dpk)PtII(CH3)2, reacts with CD3OD at 25 °C to undergo complete deuteration of Pt-CH3 fragments in ∼5 h without loss of methane to form (dpk)PtII(CD3)2 in virtually quantitative yield. The deuteration can be reversed by dissolution in CH3OH or CD3OH. Kinetic analysis and isotope effects, together with support from density functional theory calculations indicate a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism wherein DPK enables Pt-CH3 deuteration by allowing non-rate-limiting protonation of PtII by CD3OD. In contrast, other model di(2-pyridyl) ligands enable rate-limiting protonation of PtII, resulting in non-rate-limiting C-H(D) reductive coupling. Owing to its electron-poor nature, following complete deuteration, DPK can be dissociated from the PtII-centre, furnishing [(CD3)2PtII(μ-SMe2)]2 as the perdeutero analogue of [(CH3)2PtII(μ-SMe2)]2, a commonly used PtII-precursor.

A New Systematic Construction of Novel Three-Dimensional Spin Crossover Coordination Polymers Based on the [AgI 2(CN)3] Building Unit.

Project description:New three-dimensional spin crossover (SCO) coordination polymers systematically constructed by the novel building unit [AgI 2(CN)3], FeII(3-Br-5-CH3pyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (1), FeII(3-Br-5-Clpyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (2), and FeII(3,5-Brpyridine)2[AgI 2(CN)3][AgI(CN)2] (3), have been synthesized and characterized. The bismonodentate binuclear [Ag2(CN)3]- and mononuclear [AgI(CN)2]- units and FeII atoms assemble to form a 3D network structure. The structures of 1-3 are crystallographically identical, which made up the triply interpenetration combined with complicated intermolecular interactions including Ag···Ag, Ag···X (pyridine substituents) and π-stacking interactions. Magnetic and differential scanning calorimetry studies were performed for 1-3. These compounds display a similar SCO behavior, while the critical temperatures (T c) are shifted by the substituent effect. Due to the identical structures of 1-3, the order of T c clearly corresponds with the Hammett constant.

Selective Anion Binding Drives the Formation of AgI8L6 and AgI12L6 Six-Stranded Helicates.

Project description:Here we describe the formation of an unexpected and unique family of hollow six-stranded helicates. The formation of these structures depends on the coordinative flexibility of silver and the 2-formyl-1,8-napthyridine subcomponent. Crystal structures show that these assemblies are held together by Ag4I, Ag4Br, or Ag6(SO4)2 clusters, where the templating anion plays an integral structure-defining role. Prior to the addition of the anionic template, no six-stranded helicate was observed to form, with the system instead consisting of a dynamic mixture of triple helicate and tetrahedron. Six-stranded helicate formation was highly sensitive to the structure of the ligand, with minor modifications inhibiting its formation. This work provides an unusual example of mutual stabilization between metal clusters and a self-assembled metal-organic cage. The selective preparation of this anisotropic host demonstrates new modes of guiding selective self-assembly using silver(I), whose many stable coordination geometries render design difficult.

Project description:In the title compound, di-μ-cyanato-1:2κ2 N:C;2:3κ2 C:N-di-cyanato-2κ2 C-bis-(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-deca-ne)-1κ6 O;3κ6 O-1,3-dipotassium(I)-2-platinum(II), [K2Pt(CN)4(C12H24O6)2] or [K(18-crown-6)]2·[Pt(CN)4], two trans-orientated cyano groups of the square-planar [Pt(CN)4]2- dianion (Pt site symmetry ) bind to one potassium ion each, which are additionally coordinated by the six O atoms of 18-crown-6. No Pt⋯Pt inter-actions occur in the crystal, but very weak Pt⋯H contacts (2.79 Å) are observed.

Heterogeneous Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts immobilized on chiral polymers.

Project description:The development of heterogeneous chiral catalysts has lagged far behind that of homogeneous chiral catalysts in spite of their advantages, such as environmental friendliness for a sustainable society. We describe herein novel heterogeneous chiral Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts consisting of polystyrene-based polymers with chiral diene moieties. The catalysts enable high-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities to be obtained in asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as ketones, esters, and amides, and in other asymmetric reactions. The catalysts could be readily recovered by simple filtration and reused; they could also be applied to continuous-flow synthesis. We also discuss the nature of possible reaction species based on XPS analysis.

Interface Dynamics in Ag-Cu3P Nanoparticle Heterostructures.

Project description:Earth-abundant transition metal phosphides are promising materials for energy-related applications. Specifically, copper(I) phosphide is such a material and shows excellent photocatalytic activity. Currently, there are substantial research efforts to synthesize well-defined metal-semiconductor nanoparticle heterostructures to enhance the photocatalytic performance by an efficient separation of charge carriers. The involved crystal facets and heterointerfaces have a major impact on the efficiency of a heterostructured photocatalyst, which points out the importance of synthesizing potential photocatalysts in a controlled manner and characterizing their structural and morphological properties in detail. In this study, we investigated the interface dynamics occurring around the synthesis of Ag-Cu3P nanoparticle heterostructures by a chemical reaction between Ag-Cu nanoparticle heterostructures and phosphine in an environmental transmission electron microscope. The major product of the Cu-Cu3P phase transformation using Ag-Cu nanoparticle heterostructures with a defined interface as a template preserved the initially present Ag{111} facet of the heterointerface. After the complete transformation, corner truncation of the faceted Cu3P phase led to a physical transformation of the nanoparticle heterostructure. In some cases, the structural rearrangement toward an energetically more favorable heterointerface has been observed and analyzed in detail at the atomic level. The herein-reported results will help better understand dynamic processes in Ag-Cu3P nanoparticle heterostructures and enable facet-engineered surface and heterointerface design to tailor their physical properties.

Synthesizing Ag+: MgS, Ag+: Nb2S5, Sm3+: Y2S3, Sm3+:Er2S3, and Sm3+:ZrS2 Compound Nanoparticles for Multicolor Fluorescence Imaging of Biotissues.

Project description:Development of the fluorophores whose fluorescence bands can be flexibly selected is of great interest for biotissue imaging. Compounds of Ag+:MgS, Ag+:Nb2S5, Sm3+:Y2S3, Sm3+:Er2S3, and Sm3+:ZrS2 were obtained through new chemical synthesis. They were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. They revealed polychromatic-photoluminescence spectra when excited by 280, 380, 480, 580, 680, and 785 nm light. Especially, near-infrared emission ranging from 800-1100 nm was found upon 785 nm light excitation. A band model was proposed to explain transitions responsible for the observed components of emission. Their broad fluorescence spectra cover from the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral range. Their ability of emitting wide-range fluorescence was utilized for multicolor fluorescence imaging of biotissues, as demonstrated by pig-kidney tissue samples.

Cu assisted loading of Pt on CeO2 as a carbon-free catalyst for methanol and oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:The widely studied Pt/C catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) suffers severe carbon corrosion under operation, which undermines the catalytic activity and durability. It is of great importance to develop a carbon-free support with co-catalytic functionality for improving both the activity and durability of Pt-based catalysts. The direct loading of Pt on the smooth surface of oxides may be difficult. Herein, the Cu assisted loading of Pt on CeO2 is developed. Cu pre-coated CeO2 was facilely synthesized and Pt was electrochemically deposited to fabricate the carbon-free PtCu/CeO2 catalyst. The PtCu/CeO2 catalyst has a mass activity up to 1.84 and 1.57 times higher than Pt/C towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), respectively. Better durability is also confirmed by chronoamperometry and accelerated degradation tests. The strategy in this work would be greatly helpful for developing an efficient carbon-free support of Pt-based catalysts for applications in DMFCs.

Plasmon-assisted site-selective growth of Ag nanotriangles and Ag-Cu2O hybrids.

Project description:We report a plasmon-assisted growth of metal and semiconductor onto the tips of Ag nanotriangles (AgNTs) under light irradiation. The site-selective growth of Ag onto AgNTs are firstly demonstrated on the copper grids and amine-coated glass slides. As the irradiation time increases, microscopic images indicate that AgNTs gradually touch with each other and finally "weld" tip-to-tip together into the branched chains. Meanwhile, the redshift of plasmon band is observed in the extinction spectra, which agrees well the growth at the tips of AgNTs and the decrease of the gaps between the adjacent nanotriangles. We also synthesize AgNT-Cu2O nanocomposites by using a photochemical method and find that the Cu2O nanoparticles preferably grow on the tips of AgNTs. The site-selective growth of Ag and Cu2O is interpreted by the local field concentration at the tips of AgNTs induced by surface plasmon resonance under light excitation.

Electrochemical Reduction of O2 in Ca2+ -Containing DMSO: Role of Roughness and Single Crystal Structure.

Project description:In this study, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Ca2+ -containing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at well-ordered and rough electrode surfaces is compared by using cyclic voltammetry, differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, rotating ring disk electrode, and atomic force microscopy measurements. Slightly soluble CaO2 is the main product during early ORR on gold electrodes; after completion of a monolayer of CaO and/or CaO2 , which is formed in parallel and in competition to the peroxide, only superoxide is formed. When the monolayer is completely closed on smooth annealed Au, no further reduction occurs, whereas on rough Au a defect-rich layer allows for continuous formation of superoxide. CaO2 formed either via two subsequent 1 e- transfer steps or by disproportionation of superoxide may be deposited on top of the CaO/CaO2 adsorbate layer. The slow dissolution of the peroxide particles is demonstrated by AFM. Whereas a smooth CaO/CaO2 -covered electrode shows severe deactivation and a CaO/CaO2 -covered rough electrode allows for diffusion-limited superoxide formation, on single crystals peroxide formation is more pronounced. The reason is most likely the lack of nucleation sites for the blocking CaO/CaO2 layer. RRDE investigations showed sluggish reoxidation kinetics of the dissolved peroxide, which are most likely due to ion pairing with Ca2+ . The apparent transfer coefficient is estimated by using variation of the electrode roughness, confirming the result of the usual Tafel analysis and indicating an equilibrated first 1 e- transfer.
