Enhanced catalytic performance of Pt by coupling with carbon defects

ABSTRACT: Defect engineering is a promising strategy for supported catalysts to improve the catalytic activity and durability. Here, we selected the carbon (C) matrix enriched with topological defects to serve as the substrate material, in which the topological defects can act as anchoring centers to trap Pt nanoparticles for driving the O2 reduction reactions (ORRs). Both experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations revealed the strong Pt-defect interaction with enhanced charge transfer on the interface. Despite a low Pt loading, the supported catalyst can still achieve a remarkable 55 mV positive shift of half-wave potential toward ORR in O2-saturated 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte compared with the commercial Pt catalyst on graphitized C. Moreover, the degeneration after 5,000 voltage cycles was negligible. This finding indicates that the presence of strong interaction between Pt and topological C defects can not only stabilize Pt nanoparticles but also optimize the electronic structures of Pt/C catalysts toward ORR. Graphical abstract Public summary • A novel method to obtain topologically defective porous carbon particles is proposed• Pt nanoparticles are deposited on the topological carbon defects of porous carbon• The interaction between Pt particles and carbon defects can adjust d-band center position• Pt-DPC shows much better ORR performance than that of commercial Pt/C

Hydrophilic Pt nanoflowers: synthesis, crystallographic analysis and catalytic performance.

Project description:Water-soluble Pt nanoflowers (NFs) were prepared by diethylene glycol-mediated reduction of Pt acetylacetonate (Pt(acac)2) in the presence of polyethylenimine. Advanced electron microscopy analysis showed that the NFs consist of multiple branches with a truncated cubic morphology and different crystallographic orientations. We demonstrate that the nature of the solvent strongly influences the resulting morphology. The catalytic performance of the Pt NFs in 4-nitrophenol reduction was found to be superior to that of other nanoparticle-based catalysts. Additionally, the Pt NFs display good catalytic reusability with no loss of activity after five consecutive cycles.

Hot Hole Enhanced Synergistic Catalytic Oxidation on Pt-Cu Alloy Clusters.

Project description:Hot holes in Pt-Cu alloy clusters can act as catalyst to accelerate the intrinsic aerobic oxidation reactions. It is described that under visible light irradiation the synergistic alcohol catalytic oxidation on Pt-Cu alloy clusters (?1.1 nm)/TiO2 nanobelts could be significant promoted by interband-excitation-generated long-lifetime hot holes in the clusters.

Enhanced NO2 Sensing Performance of Graphene with Thermally Induced Defects.

Project description:This paper demonstrates the enhanced NO2 sensing performance of graphene with defects generated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). A high temperature of RTA (300-700 °C) was applied to graphene under an argon atmosphere to form defects on sp2 carbon lattices. The density of defects proportionally increased with increasing the RTA temperature. Raman scattering results confirmed significant changes in sp2 bonding. After 700 °C RTA, ID/IG, I2D/IG, and FWHM (full width at half maximum)(G) values, which are used to indirectly investigate carbon-carbon bonds' chemical and physical properties, were markedly changed compared to the pristine graphene. Further evidence of the thermally-induced defects on graphene was found via electrical resistance measurements. The electrical resistance of the RTA-treated graphene linearly increased with increasing RTA temperature. Meanwhile, the NO2 response of graphene sensors increased from 0 to 500 °C and reached maximum (R = ~24%) at 500 °C. Then, the response rather decreased at 700 °C (R = ~14%). The results imply that rich defects formed at above a critical temperature (~500 °C) may damage electrical paths of sp2 chains and thus deteriorate NO2 response. Compared to the existing functionalization process, the RTA treatment is very facile and allows precise control of the NO2 sensing characteristics, contributing to manufacturing commercial low-cost, high-performance, integrated sensors.

Floating synthesis with enhanced catalytic performance via acoustic levitation processing.

Project description:Acoustic levitation supplies a containerless state to eliminate natural convection and heterogeneous crystal nucleation and thus provides a highly uniform and ultra clean condition in the confined levitating area. Herein, we attempt to make full use of these advantages to fabricate well dispersed metal nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles, synthesized in an acoustically levitated droplet, exhibited a smaller size and improved catalytic performance in 4-nitrophenol reduction were synthesized in an acoustically levitated droplet. The sound field was simulated to understand the impact of acoustic levitation on gold nanoparticle growth with the aid of crystal growth theory. Chemical reducing reactions in the acoustic levitated space trend to occur in a better dispersed state because the sound field supplies continuous vibration energy. The bubble movement and the cavitation effect accelerate the nucleation, decrease the size, and the internal flow inside levitated droplet probably inhibit the particle fusion in the growth stage. These factors lead to a reduction in particle size compared with the normal wet chemical synthetic condition. The resultant higher surface area and more numerous active catalytic sites contribute to the improvement of the catalytic performance.

Decoration of Pt on Cu/Co double-doped CeO2 nanospheres and their greatly enhanced catalytic activity.

Project description:In this paper, we report an efficient strategy for the synthesis of Cu/Co double-doped CeO2 nanospheres (Cu x Co1-x -CeO2-Pt, 0 ? x ? 1), which were fabricated via a simple water-glycol system. The following in situ surface decoration of Pt nanoparticles make these nanospheres highly active for the catalytic reduction of nitrophenol and CO oxidation. Detailed tests show that their catalytic performance strongly depends on the doping components and ion concentration of Cu and Co ions. The best samples of Cu0.50Co0.50-CeO2-Pt and Cu0.34Co0.66-CeO2-Pt demonstrate an excellent turnover frequency (TOF) of more than 450 h-1 after five cycles and retains about 99% conversion by using NH3BH3 as a reductant to reduce nitrophenol. Moreover, Cu0.50Co0.50-CeO2-Pt possesses a much lower light-off and T100 (the temperature for 100% CO oxidation) temperature compared with the other catalysts.

Cage-bell Pt-Pd nanostructures with enhanced catalytic properties and superior methanol tolerance for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Precisely tailoring the structure and fully making use of the components of nanoparticles are effective to enhance their catalytic performance for a given reaction. We herein demonstrate the design of cage-bell structured Pt-Pd nanoparticles, where a Pd shell is deliberately selected to enhance the catalytic property and methanol tolerance of Pt for oxygen reduction reaction. This strategy starts with the synthesis of core-shell Pt@Ag nanoparticles, followed by galvanic replacement reaction between the Ag shell and Pd(2+) ions to form core-shell-shell Pt@Ag@Ag-Pd nanoparticles with a Pt core and double shells composed of Ag at inner and alloy Ag-Pd at outer, respectively. Then, the core-shell-shell templates are agitated with saturated NaCl solution to eliminate the Ag component from the double shells, leading to the formation of bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoparticles with a cage-bell structure, defined as a movable Pt core enclosed by a porous Pd shell, which show enhanced catalytic activity for oxygen reduction compared with that of the Pt seeds due to the additional catalysis from Pd shell. In addition, owing to the different diffusion behavior of methanol and oxygen molecules in the porous Pd shell, the Pt-Pd cage-bell nanostructures also exhibit superior methanol tolerant property in catalyzing the oxygen reduction.

Catalytic Performance of Toluene Combustion over Pt Nanoparticles Supported on Pore-Modified Macro-Meso-Microporous Zeolite Foam.

Project description:Herein, to investigate the pore effect on toluene catalytic oxidation activity, novel supports for Pt nanoparticles-ZSM-5 foam (ZF) fabricated using polyurethane foam (PUF) templates and pore-modified ZSM-5 foam (ZF-D) treated by acid etching, comparing with conventional ZSM-5 and pore-modified ZSM-5 (ZSM-5-D), were successfully synthesized. Pt nanoparticles were loaded on series ZSM-5 supports by the impregnation method. The Pt loaded on ZF-D (Pt/ZF-D) showed the highest activity of toluene catalytic combustion (i.e., T90 = 158 °C), with extraordinary stability and an anti-coking ability. Based on various catalysts characterizations, the unique macropores of ZF facilitated the process of acid etching as compared to conventional ZSM-5. The mesopores volume of ZF-D significantly increased due to acid etching, which enlarged toluene adsorption capacity and led to a better Pt distribution since some Pt nanoparticles were immobilized into some mesopores. Specifically, the microporous distribution was centered in the range of 0.7-0.8 nm close to the molecular diameter of toluene (ca. 0.67 nm), which was key to the increasing toluene diffusion rate due to pore levitation effect of catalysts and accessibility of metal. Furthermore, the reducibility of Pt nanoparticles was improved on Pt/ZF-D, which enhanced the activity of toluene catalytic oxidation.

A dual catalytic strategy for carbon-phosphorus cross-coupling via gold and photoredox catalysis.

Project description:A new method for the P-arylation of aryldiazonium salts with H-phosphonates via dual gold and photoredox catalysis is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature in the absence of base and/or additives, and offers an efficient approach to arylphosphonates. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a photoredox-promoted generation of an electrophilic arylgold(III) intermediate that undergoes coupling with the H-phosphonate nucleophile.

Prussian Blue and Carbon-Dot Hybrids for Enhanced Electrochromic Performance.

Project description:In this study, Prussian blue@Carbon-dot (PB@C-dot) hybrids have been developed by one-step hydrothermal method. The incorporation of C-dots into Prussian blue thin film as a way of improving its electrochromic performance was investigated. The structure of the PB@C-dot hybrid was characterized through X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochromic properties showed that incorporation of 10 mL C-dots into the film showed higher optical contrast of 1.6 and superior coloration/bleaching response of 10 and 3 s. It is proposed that the C-dots component used in the construction of the PB@C-dot hybrid plays a key role to achieve superior electrochromic performance.
