Hydrogen peroxide reduction on single platinum nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Understanding oxygen reduction, key to much of electrochemical energy transformation technology, crucially requires exploration of the role of hydrogen peroxide as a possible intermediate especially on catalysts such as Pt which can bring about the 4e reduction of O₂ to water. We reveal that at the single nanoparticle scale the direct platinum catalysed reduction of hydrogen peroxide is found - even at high overpotentials - not to be controlled by the rate mass-transport of the reagents to the interface but by a surface limited process. Further under alkaline (pH 12.3) and near mass-transport free conditions, the single nanoparticle hydrogen peroxide reduction rate goes through a maximum at potentials comparable to the surface deposition of hydrogen (H _upd) with the highest reaction rate occurring when the surface is partially covered in hydrogen.

Highly selective oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide on transition metal single atom coordination.

Project description:Shifting electrochemical oxygen reduction towards 2e- pathway to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), instead of the traditional 4e- to water, becomes increasingly important as a green method for H2O2 generation. Here, through a flexible control of oxygen reduction pathways on different transition metal single atom coordination in carbon nanotube, we discovered Fe-C-O as an efficient H2O2 catalyst, with an unprecedented onset of 0.822?V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1?M KOH to deliver 0.1?mA?cm-2 H2O2 current, and a high H2O2 selectivity of above 95% in both alkaline and neutral pH. A wide range tuning of 2e-/4e- ORR pathways was achieved via different metal centers or neighboring metalloid coordination. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the Fe-C-O motifs, in a sharp contrast to the well-known Fe-C-N for 4e-, are responsible for the H2O2 pathway. This iron single atom catalyst demonstrated an effective water disinfection as a representative application.

Platinum(II) reduction to platinum nanoparticles in anaerobic sludge.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To help mitigate future problems in the supply of platinum group metals (PGM) due to their scarcity and high demand, new recovery processes must be developed. Microbial processes are a great alternative for the recovery of PGM from waste since they are clean and environmentally friendly techniques. This research studied the microbial reduction of Pt(II) using an anaerobic granular sludge under different physiological conditions. RESULTS:The anaerobic granular sludge was able to reduce Pt(II) to Pt(0) nanoparticles that were deposited intracellularly as well as extracellularly as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Hydrogen (H2) and formate supported the chemical reduction of Pt(II) while ethanol supported the biologically catalyzed reduction of Pt(II). Increasing initial concentrations of Pt(II), ethanol or biomass were each shown to increase the Pt(II) reduction rates. CONCLUSIONS:This study reported for the first time the reduction of Pt(II) using anaerobic granular sludge and provided insights that could help develop biorecovery techniques to alleviate future problems in the supply of PGMs.

Chronoamperometric Observation and Analysis of Electrocatalytic Ability of Single Pd Nanoparticle for Hydrogen Peroxide Reduction Reaction.

Project description:The current generated by the collision of a single nanoparticle (NP) of palladium (Pd) on a gold (Au) ultramicroelectrode (UME) surface was observed using an electrocatalytic amplification method. The hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction was used for the electrocatalytic reaction because the hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction has no gas-phase product, which would induce rapid signal decay. The electrocatalytic current resulting from a single Pd nanoparticle on the Au UME shows a staircase response with accompanying slow current decay. The applying potential and concentration of hydrogen peroxide were optimized for clear distinction of signal. The height of the current step and signal frequency were analyzed and compared with the theoretical expectation. The analysis of the electrocatalytic activity of single Pd NPs provides insight toward their future application.

Synergistic antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:The increasing challenge of antibiotic resistance requires not only the discovery of new antibiotics, but also the development of new alternative approaches. Herein, the synergistic antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide combination is reported. Unlike the bacteriostatic or slightly bactericidal activity achieved by using each agent alone, using these two agents in combination, even at relatively low concentrations, resulted in complete eradication of both the Gram negative Escherichia coli and the Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus in short treatment times indicating a clear synergistic effect between them. Modifying the surface chemistry of silver nanoparticles and the accompanied change in their surface charge enabled a further enhancement of such synergistic effect implying the importance of this aspect. Mechanistically, a Fenton-like reaction between silver nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide is discussed and hypothesized to be the basis of the observed synergy. Achieving such a significant antibacterial activity at low concentrations reduces the potential toxicity of these agents and hence enables their utilization as an alternative antibacterial approach in wider range of applications.

Metal-independent reduction of hydrogen peroxide by semiquinones.

Project description:The quinones 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DQ), 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ), 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (UBQ-0), 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone (DMBQ), 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone (DMOBQ), and 9,10-phenanthraquinone (PHQ) enhance the rate of H2O2 reduction by ascorbate, under anaerobic conditions, as detected from the amount of methane produced after hydroxyl radical reaction with dimethyl sulfoxide. The amount of methane produced increases with an increase in the quinone one-electron reduction potential. The most active quinone in this series, PHQ, is only 14% less active than the classic Fenton reagent cation, Fe(2+), at the same concentration. Since PHQ is a common toxin present in diesel combustion smoke, the possibility that PHQ-mediated catalysis of hydroxyl radical formation is similar to that of Fe(2+) adds another important pathway to the modes in which PHQ can execute its toxicity. Because quinones are known to enhance the antitumor activity of ascorbate and because ascorbate enhances the formation of H2O2 in tissues, the quinone-mediated reduction of H2O2 should be relevant to this type of antitumor activity, especially under hypoxic conditions.

Reduction of platinum (IV) ions to elemental platinum nanoparticles by anaerobic sludge.

Project description:Background:The future supply of platinum group metals (PGM) is at risk because of their scarcity combined with a high demand. Thus recovery of platinum (Pt) from waste is an option worthy of study to help alleviate future shortages. This research explored the microbial reduction of platinum (Pt). The ability of anaerobic granular sludge to reduce Pt(IV) ions under different physiological conditions was studied. Results:X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analyses demonstrated the capacity of the microbial mixed culture to reduce Pt(IV) to Pt(0) nanoparticles, which were deposited on the cell-surface and in the periplasmic space. Ethanol supported the biologically catalyzed Pt(IV) reduction, meanwhile other electron donors; hydrogen (H2) and formate, promoted the chemical reduction of Pt(IV) with some additional biological stimulation in the case of H2. A hypothesis is proposed in which H2 formed from the acetogenesis of ethanol is implicated in subsequent abiotic reduction of Pt(IV) indicating an integrated bio-chemical process. Endogenous controls also resulted in slow Pt(IV) removal from aqueous solution. Selected redox mediators, exemplified by riboflavin, enhanced the Pt(IV) reduction rate. Conclusion:This study reported for the first time the ability of an anaerobic granular sludge to reduce Pt(IV) to elemental Pt(0) nanoparticles.

Spectroscopically clean Au nanoparticles for catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Au nanoparticles synthesized from colloidal techniques have the capability in many applications such as catalysis and sensing. Au nanoparticles function as both catalyst and highly sensitive SERS probe can be employed for sustainable and green catalytic process. However, capping ligands that are necessary to stabilize nanoparticles during synthesis are negative for catalytic activity. In this work, a simple effective mild thermal treatment to remove capping ligands meanwhile preserving the high SERS sensitivity of Au nanoparticles is reported. We show that under the optimal treatment conditions (250 °C for 2 h), 50 nm Au nanoparticles surfaces are free from any capping molecules. The catalytic activity of treated Au nanoparticles is studied through H2O2 decomposition, which proves that the treatment is favorable for catalytic performance improvement. A reaction intermediate during H2O2 decomposition is observed and identified.

Reduction and inactivation of superoxide dismutase by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Reactions of H(2)O(2) with superoxide dismutase were studied by e.p.r. (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopy and other methods. In agreement with earlier work, the Cu(2+) of the enzyme is reduced by H(2)O(2), although the reaction does not go to completion and its kinetics are not simple. With dilute enzyme the time for half-reduction with 9mm-H(2)O(2) is about 150ms. It is suggested that the reaction is a one-electron reduction, involving liberation of O(2) (-). On somewhat more prolonged exposure to H(2)O(2), the enzyme is inactivated. For enzyme in dilute solution and over a limited range of H(2)O(2) concentrations, inactivation is first-order with respect to enzyme and reagent, with k=3.1m(-1).s(-1) at 20-25 degrees C. Inactivation is accompanied by marked changes in the e.p.r. and visible spectra and appears to be associated with destruction of one histidine residue per subunit. It is suggested that this histidine is close to the metal in the native enzyme and essential for its enzymic activity.

Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide

Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.

Efficient Hydrogen Peroxide Generation Utilizing Photocatalytic Oxygen Reduction at a Triphase Interface.

Project description:Photocatalytic oxygen reduction has garnered attention as an emerging alternative to traditional anthraquinone oxidation process to synthesize H2O2. However, despite great efforts to optimize photocatalyst activity, the formation rate has been largely limited by the deficient accessibility of the photocatalysts to sufficient O2 in water. Here we boost the reaction by reporting an air-liquid-solid triphase photocatalytic system for efficient H2O2 generation. The triphase system allows reactant O2 to reach the reaction interface directly from the ambient atmosphere, greatly increasing the interface O2 concentration, which in turn simultaneously enhanced the kinetics of formation constant and suppressed the unwanted electron-hole recombination and the kinetics of H2O2 decomposition reaction. Compared with a conventional liquid-solid diphase reaction system, the triphase system enables an increase in H2O2 formation by a factor of 44. The triphase system is generally applicable to fundamentally understand and maximize the kinetics of semiconductor-based photocatalytic oxygen reduction for H2O2 generation.
