Formation of Pt-Based Alloy Nanoparticles Assisted by Molybdenum Hexacarbonyl.

ABSTRACT: We report on an optimized, scalable solution-phase synthetic procedure for the fabrication of fine-tuned monodisperse nanostructures (Pt(NiCo), PtNi and PtCo). The influence of different solute metal precursors and surfactants on the morphological evolution of homogeneous alloy nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated. Molybdenum hexacarbonyl (Mo(CO)6) was used as the reductant. We demonstrate that this solution-based strategy results in uniform-sized NPs, the morphology of which can be manipulated by appropriate selection of surfactants and solute metal precursors. Co-surfactants (oleylamine, OAm, and hexadecylamine, HDA) enabled the development of a variety of high-index faceted NP morphologies with varying degrees of curvatures while pure OAm selectively produced octahedral NP morphologies. This Mo(CO)6-based synthetic protocol offers new avenues for the fabrication of multi-structured alloy NPs as high-performance electrocatalysts.

General preparation for Pt-based alloy nanoporous nanoparticles as potential nanocatalysts.

Project description:Although Raney nickel made by dealloying has been used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a variety of organic syntheses for more than 80 years, only recently scientists have begun to realize that dealloying can generate nanoporous alloys with extraordinary structural characteristics. Herein, we achieved successful synthesis of a variety of monodisperse alloy nanoporous nanoparticles via a facile chemical dealloying process using nanocrystalline alloys as precursors. The as-prepared alloy nanoporous nanoparticles with large surface area and small pores show superior catalytic properties compared with alloyed nanoparticles. It is believed that these novel alloy nanoporous nanoparticles would open up new opportunities for catalytic applications.

Laser-Assisted Production of Carbon-Encapsulated Pt-Co Alloy Nanoparticles for Preferential Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide.

Project description:C-encapsulated highly pure PtxCoy alloy nanoparticles have been synthesized by an innovative one-step in-situ laser pyrolysis. The obtained X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy images correspond to PtxCoy alloy nanoparticles with average diameters of 2.4 nm and well-established crystalline structure. The synthesized PtxCoy/C catalyst containing 1.5 wt% of PtxCoy nanoparticles can achieve complete CO conversion in the temperature range 125-175°C working at weight hourly space velocities (WHSV) of 30 L h-1g-1. This study shows the first example of bimetallic nanoalloys synthesized by laser pyrolysis and paves the way for a wide variety of potential applications and metal combinations.

Formation mechanism of high-index faceted Pt-Bi alloy nanoparticles by evaporation-induced growth from metal salts.

Project description:Nanoparticles with high-index facets are intriguing because such facets can lend the structure useful functionality, including enhanced catalytic performance and wide-ranging optical tunability. Ligand-free solid-state syntheses of high index-facet nanoparticles, through an alloying-dealloying process with foreign volatile metals, are attractive owing to their materials generality and high yields. However, the role of foreign atoms in stabilizing the high-index facets and the dynamic nature of the transformation including the coarsening and facet regulation process are still poorly understood. Herein, the transformation of Pt salts to spherical seeds and then to tetrahexahedra, is studied in situ via gas-cell transmission electron microscopy. The dynamic behaviors of the alloying and dealloying process, which involves the coarsening of nanoparticles and consequent facet regulation stage are captured in the real time with a nanoscale spatial resolution. Based on additional direct evidence obtained using atom probe tomography and density functional theory calculations, the underlying mechanisms of the alloying-dealloying process are uncovered, which will facilitate broader explorations of high-index facet nanoparticle synthesis.

Probing Active Sites on Pd/Pt Alloy Nanoparticles by CO Adsorption.

Project description:We studied the adsorption of CO on Pd/Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with varying compositions using polarization-dependent Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) and theoretical calculations (DFT). We prepared PtPd alloy NPs via physical vapor codeposition on α-Al2O3(0001) supports. Our morphological and structural characterization by scanning electron microscopy and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction revealed well-defined, epitaxial NPs. We used CO as a probe molecule to identify the particles' surface active sites. Polarization-dependent FT-IRRAS enabled us to distinguish CO adsorption on top and side facets of the NPs. The role of the Pd/Pt alloy ratio on CO adsorption was investigated by comparing the experimental CO stretching band frequency for different alloy arrangements to the results for pure Pd and Pt NPs. Moreover, we studied the influence of hydrogen adsorption on the NP surface composition. We determined the dependence of the IR bands on the local atomic arrangement via DFT calculations, revealing that both bulk alloy composition and neighboring atoms influence the wavenumber of the bands.

Dealloying of Nitrogen-Introduced Pt-Co Alloy Nanoparticles: Preferential Core-Shell Formation with Enhanced Activity for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Voltammetric dealloying is a typical method to synthesize Pt-shell/less-noble metal (M) alloy core nanoparticles (NPs) toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The pristine nanostructures of the Pt-M alloy NPs should determine the ORR activity of the dealloyed NPs. In this study, we investigated the voltammetric dealloying behavior of the Pt-Co and nitrogen-introduced Pt-Co alloy NPs generated by synchronous arc-plasma deposition of Pt and Co. The results showed that the dealloying behavior is sensitive to cobalt nitride in the pristine NPs, leading to the preferential generation of a Pt-rich shell/Pt-Co alloy core architecture having enhanced ORR activity.

Alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes through the structure evolution in Cu-Pt nanoparticles with a core-shell construction.

Project description:Noble metal nanoparticles with hollow interiors and customizable shell compositions have immense potential for catalysis. Herein, we present an unique structure transformation phenomenon for the fabrication of alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes with polyhedral morphology. This strategy starts with the preparation of polyhedral Cu-Pt nanoparticles with a core-shell construction upon the anisotropic growth of Pt on multiply twinned Cu seed particles, which are subsequently transformed into alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes due to the Kirkendall effect between the Cu core and Pt shell. The as-prepared alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes possess the rhombic dodecahedral morphology of their core-shell parents after the structural evolution. In particular, the resulting alloy Cu₃Pt nanoframes are more effective for oxygen reduction reaction but ineffective for methanol oxidation reaction in comparison with their original Cu-Pt core-shell precursors.

Pt-Sn alloy shells with tunable composition and structure on Au nanoparticles for boosting ethanol oxidation.

Project description:Combining the core-shell structure with the optimization of surface composition and structure in the shell is a fantastic strategy to enhance the electrocatalytic performances. Here, we synthesized trimetallic Au@PtxSny core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable composition and structure of Pt-Sn alloyed shells. Impressively, the Au@PtSn core-shell NPs with hexagonal PtSn alloyed shells exhibited the highest mass activity and specific activity toward ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline electrolyte, which are 13.0 and 12.7 times higher than those of the commercial Pt/C. In addition, the Au@PtSn core-shell NPs displayed the best stability compared to commercial Pt/C, with only 44.8% loss vs. 86.8% loss in mass activity after 1,000 s due to the stronger anti-poisoning ability for reaction intermediates. The theory calculations reveal that the introduction of Au core and alloying Pt with Sn both endow Pt with an appropriate d-band center, and thus effectively boosting the EOR activity.

Atom-glue stabilized Pt-based intermetallic nanoparticles.

Project description:Pt-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in catalysis. However, this suffers from aggregation and/or sintering at working conditions. We demonstrate a robust strategy for stabilizing PtCo NPs under high temperature with strong interaction between M-N-C and PtCo NPs with Pt-M-N coordination, namely, "atom glue." Such atom glue for stabilizing Pt-based NPs can be extended to Zn, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, and Cu, being a versatile strategy for stabilizing PtCo NPs, which substantially promotes the performance toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and fuel cell. Impressively, the mass activity (MA) reaches 2.99 A mgPt-1 for ORR over g-Zn-N-C/PtCo, and 79.3% of the initial MA is maintained after 90K cycles in fuel cell. This work provides a versatile strategy for stabilizing Pt-based NPs via atom glue, which is likely to spark widespread interest across various fields.

Oxidatively induced exposure of active surface area during microwave assisted formation of Pt<sub>3</sub>Co nanoparticles for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the rate-limiting reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, can efficiently be facilitated by properly manufactured platinum catalysts alloyed with late 3d transition metals. Herein we synthesize a platinum : cobalt nanoparticulate catalyst with a 3 : 1 atomic ratio by reduction of a dry metalorganic precursor blend within a commercial household microwave oven. The formed nanoparticles are simultaneously anchored to a carbon black support that enables large Pt surface area. Two separate microwave treatment steps were employed, where step one constitutes a fast oxidative treatment for revealing active surface area while a reductive secondary annealing treatment promotes a Pt rich surface. The resulting Pt3Co/C catalyst (∼3.4 nm) demonstrates an enhanced ORR activity directly attributed to incorporated Co with a specific and mass activity of 704 μA cmPt -2 and 352 A gPt -1 corresponding to an increase by 279% and 66% respectively compared to a commercial Pt/C (∼1.8 nm) catalyst measured under identical conditions. The method's simplicity, scalability and novelty is expected to further assist in Pt-Co development and bring the catalyst one step closer toward commercialization and utility in fuel cells.
