Interfacial-confined coordination to single-atom nanotherapeutics.

ABSTRACT: Pursuing and developing effective methodologies to construct highly active catalytic sites to maximize the atomic and energy efficiency by material engineering are attractive. Relative to the tremendous researches of carbon-based single atom systems, the construction of bio-applicable single atom materials is still in its infancy. Herein, we propose a facile and general interfacial-confined coordination strategy to construct high-quality single-atom nanotherapeutic agent with Fe single atoms being anchored on defective carbon dots confined in a biocompatible mesoporous silica nanoreactor. Furthermore, the efficient energy conversion capability of silica-based Fe single atoms system has been demonstrated on the basis of the exogenous physical photo irradiation and endogenous biochemical reactive oxygen species stimulus in the confined mesoporous network. More importantly, the highest photothermal conversion efficiency with the mechanism of increased electron density and narrow bandgap of this single atom structure in defective carbon was proposed by the theoretical DFT calculations. The present methodology provides a scientific paradigm to design and develop versatile single atom nanotherapeutics with adjustable metal components and tune the corresponding reactions for safe and efficient tumor therapeutic strategy.

Preparation of Prussian Blue Containing Polymeric Nanocapsule via Interfacial Confined Coordination in Crosslinked Inverse Miniemulsion.

Project description:This work presents a simple and facile strategy for the creation of Prussian blue containing polymeric nanocapsules. An crosslinked inverse miniemulsion with a formula of water/ K₄Fe(CN)₆/1,2-bis-(-2-iodoethyl) ethane(BIEE)/ toluene/ PDMAEMA-b-PS stabilizer mixture was prepared as soft template firstly. A crosslinking nanocapsule structure with K₄Fe(CN)₆ in water core could be achieved by a crosslinking reaction between PDMAEMA-b-PS stabilizers and BIEE. Upon the following addition of FeCl₃ ether solution into the oil phase of this inverse miniemulsion, a coordination reaction between two iron salts occurred immediately to form a Prussian blue complex. Due to the solubility limitation of FeCl₃ in the oil phase of the miniemulsion, forcing the coordination reaction of K₄Fe(CN)₆ and FeCl₃ mainly occurred at the oil-water interface of the nanocapsules, resulting in a soft polymer/Prussian blue(PB) hybrid nanocapsule.

Interfacial electrofluidics in confined systems.

Project description:Electrofluidics is a versatile principle that can be used for high speed actuation of liquid interfaces. In most of the applications, the fundamental mechanism of electro-capillary instability plays a crucial role, yet it's potential richness in confined fluidic layers has not been well addressed. Electrofluidic displays which are comprised of thin pixelated colored films in a range of architectures are excellent systems for studying such phenomena. In this study we show theoretically and experimentally that confinement leads to the generation of a cascade of voltage dependent modes as a result of the electro-capillary instability. In the course of reconciling theory with our experimental data we have observed a number of previously unreported phenomena such as a significant induction time (several milliseconds) prior to film rupture as well as a rupture location not corresponding to the minimum electric field strength in the case of the standard convex water/oil interface used in working devices. These findings are broadly applicable to a wide range of switchable electrofluidic applications and devices having confined liquid films.

Coordination modulation of iridium single-atom catalyst maximizing water oxidation activity.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted tremendous research interests in various energy-related fields because of their high activity, selectivity and 100% atom utilization. However, it is still a challenge to enhance the intrinsic and specific activity of SACs. Herein, we present an approach to fabricate a high surface distribution density of iridium (Ir) SAC on nickel-iron sulfide nanosheet arrays substrate (Ir1/NFS), which delivers a high water oxidation activity. The Ir1/NFS catalyst offers a low overpotential of ~170 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a high turnover frequency of 9.85 s-1 at an overpotential of 300 mV in 1.0 M KOH solution. At the same time, the Ir1/NFS catalyst exhibits a high stability performance, reaching a lifespan up to 350 hours at a current density of 100 mA cm-2. First-principles calculations reveal that the electronic structures of Ir atoms are significantly regulated by the sulfide substrate, endowing an energetically favorable reaction pathway. This work represents a promising strategy to fabricate high surface distribution density single-atom catalysts with high activity and durability for electrochemical water splitting.

Unraveling the coordination structure-performance relationship in Pt1/Fe2O3 single-atom catalyst.

Project description:Heterogeneous single-atom catalyst (SAC) opens a unique entry to establishing structure-performance relationship at the molecular level similar to that in homogeneous catalysis. The challenge lies in manipulating the coordination chemistry of single atoms without changing single-atom dispersion. Here, we develop an efficient synthetic method for SACs by using ethanediamine to chelate Pt cations and then removing the ethanediamine by a rapid thermal treatment (RTT) in inert atmosphere. The coordination chemistry of Pt single atoms on a Fe2O3 support is finely tuned by merely adjusting the RTT temperature. With the decrease in Pt-O coordination number, the oxidation state of Pt decreases, and consequently the hydrogenation activity increases to a record level without loss of chemoselectivity. The tunability of the local coordination chemistry, oxidation states of the metal, and the catalytic performance of single atoms reveals the unique role of SACs as a bridge between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis.

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.

Manganese vacancy-confined single-atom Ag in cryptomelane nanorods for efficient Wacker oxidation of styrene derivatives.

Project description:Single-atom catalysts provide a pathway to elucidate the nature of catalytically active sites. However, keeping them stabilized during operation proves to be challenging. Herein, we employ cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieve nanorods featuring abundant manganese vacancy defects as a support, to periodically anchor single-atom Ag. The doped Ag atoms with tetrahedral coordination are found to locate at cation substitution sites rather than being supported on the catalyst surface, thus effectively tuning the electronic structure of adjacent manganese atoms. The resulting unique Ag-O-MnO x unit functions as the active site. Its turnover frequency reaches 1038 h-1, one order of magnitude higher than for previously reported catalysts, with 90% selectivity for anti-Markovnikov phenylacetaldehyde. Mechanistic studies reveal that the activation of styrene on the ensemble site of Ag-O-MnO x is significantly promoted, which can accelerate the oxidation of styrene and, in particular, the rate-determining step of forming the epoxide intermediate. Such an extraordinary electronic promotion can be extended to other single-atom catalysts and paves the way for their practical applications.

Fabricating polyoxometalates-stabilized single-atom site catalysts in confined space with enhanced activity for alkynes diboration.

Project description:Effecting the synergistic function of single metal atom sites and their supports is of great importance to achieve high-performance catalysts. Herein, we successfully fabricate polyoxometalates (POMs)-stabilized atomically dispersed platinum sites by employing three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the finite spatial skeleton to govern the accessible quantity, spatial dispersion, and mobility of metal precursors around each POM unit. The isolated single platinum atoms (Pt1) are steadily anchored in the square-planar sites on the surface of monodispersed Keggin-type phosphomolybdic acid (PMo) in the cavities of various MOFs, including MIL-101, HKUST-1, and ZIF-67. In contrast, either the absence of POMs or MOFs yielded only platinum nanoparticles. Pt1-PMo@MIL-101 are seven times more active than the corresponding nanoparticles in the diboration of phenylacetylene, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the preconcentration of organic reaction substrates by porous MOFs skeleton and the decreased desorption energy of products on isolated Pt atom sites.

Solar-Pumping Upconversion of Interfacial Coordination Nanoparticles.

Project description:An interfacial coordination nanoparticle successfully exhibited an upconversion blue emission excited by very low-power light irradiation, such as sunlight. The interfacial complex was composed of Yb ions and indigo dye, which formed a nano-ordered thin shell layer on a Tm2O3 nanoparticle. At the surface of the Tm2O3 particle, the indigo dye can be excited by non-laser excitation at 640?nm, following the intramolecular energy transfer from the indigo dye to the Yb ions. Additionally, the excitation energy of the Yb ion was upconverted to the blue emission of the Tm ion at 475?nm. This upconversion blue emission was achieved by excitation with a CW Xe lamp at an excitation power of 0.14?mW/cm2, which is significantly lower than the solar irradiation power of 1.4?mW/cm2 at 640?±?5?nm.

Interfacial study of clathrates confined in reversed silica pores.

Project description:Storing methane in clathrates is one of the most promising alternatives for transporting natural gas (NG) as it offers similar gas densities to liquefied and compressed NG while offering lower safety risks. However, the practical use of clathrates is limited given the extremely low temperatures and high pressures necessary to form these structures. Therefore, it has been suggested to confine clathrates in nanoporous materials, as this can facilitate clathrate's formation conditions while preserving its CH4 volumetric storage. Yet, the choice of nanoporous materials to be employed as the clathrate growing platform is still rather arbitrary. Herein, we tackle this challenge in a systematic way by computationally exploring the stability of clathrates confined in alkyl-grafted silica materials with different pore sizes, ligand densities and ligand types. Based on our findings, we are able to propose key design criteria for nanoporous materials favoring the stability of a neighbouring clathrate phase, namely large pore sizes, high ligand densities, and smooth pore walls. We hope that the atomistic insight provided in this work will guide and facilitate the development of new nanomaterials designed to promote the formation of clathrates.

Creating Hybrid Coordination Environment in Fe-Based Single Atom Catalyst for Efficient Oxygen Reduction.

Project description:Tailoring the local chemistry environment to optimize the geometric and electronic properties of single atom catalysts has received much attention recently. Yet, most efforts have been devoted to establishing the preferable binding between the solid support and the single metal atom. In this work, a hybrid coordination environment was created for Fe-based single atom catalysts, comprising inorganic anchoring site from the support and organic ligands from the precursor. Using N,S co-doped graphene oxide as the support, Fe phthalocyanine was selectively anchored by the N/S sites, creating the unique N/S-Fe-N4 active sites as evidenced by extended X-ray absorption fine structure and Mössbauer spectrometry. Compared with other analogues with different metal centers or support, N/S-Fe-N4 showed much improved activity in oxygen reduction reaction, delivering onset and half-wave potentials of 1.02 and 0.94 V. This was superior over the state-of-the-art 20 wt % Pt/C and the classic Fe-N4 carbon catalysts. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the interaction between phthalocyanine ligands and heteroatom dopant from the support pushed electrons of Fe site to para-position, facilitating O2 adsorption and activation. This work shows the exciting opportunities of creating a hybrid coordination environment in single atom catalysts and paves a new avenue of improving their catalytic performance.
