Book Nanostructured intermetallics  from rational synthesis to energy electrocatalysis

Download or read book Nanostructured intermetallics from rational synthesis to energy electrocatalysis written by Mingcheng Zhang and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermetallics are a large family of structurally ordered alloys that combines a metal element with other metal/metalloid elements with a clearly defined stoichiometric ratio. Intermetallics possess abundant crystal structures and atomic packing motifs, giving rise to a great variety of electronic configurations and surface adsorption properties. The wide electronic and geometric diversity makes intermetallics a highly promising population for discovering advanced materials for various catalytic applications. This review presents recent advances in the reaction synthesis of intermetallic materials at the nanoscale and their energy-related electrocatalytic applications. Initially, we introduce general principles for the formation of stable intermetallic structures. Subsequently, we elaborate on common synthetic strategies of nanostructured intermetallics, such as thermal annealing, wet-chemical methods, metallothermic reduction, and template-directed synthesis. Furthermore, we discuss the wide employment of these intermetallic nanocatalysts in many different kinds of electrocatalytic applications, as well as highlight the theoretical and experimental evidence for establishing a reasonable relationship between atomic arrangement and catalytic activity. Finally, we propose some perspectives for future developments of intermetallic preparation and catalytic applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field. The chapter "Mechanochemical Forces as a Synthetic Tool for Zero and One-Dimensional Titanium Oxide-Based Nano-photocatalysts" is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 License via link.springer.com.
