Book excerpt: "A study on the synthesis of Pd-Pt alloy nanoparticles and composition evolution of the alloys was reported. The synthesis followed a hot organometallic route, with Pd and Pt acetylacetonate as the metal precursors and trioctylphosphine as the solvent. The size of the Pd-Pt nanoparticles narrowed down with time and reached a final size of 3.5 nm in about 10 min. The alloy compositions evolved with time and reached the preset Pd to Pt ratio of precursors in 120 min. An atomic exchange process between the Pt-TOP complex and the Pd atoms at the nanoparticle surface was proposed to elucidate this synthesis process"--Abstract, leaf iv.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the synthesis and characterization of nitrogen doped carbon nanotube (NCNT) supported nanoparticles for catalysis, specifically, the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. Strategies for synthesis of mono- and bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts through dendrimer based templating techniques and with the aid of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) precursors and efficient assembly protocols of the catalysts with the NCNTs are discussed in detail. Physicochemical properties of the NCNTs and NCNT supported catalysts were characterized using a host of tools including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermo gravimetric analysis, BET surface area and pore size analysis and electrochemical techniques including cyclic voltammetry, chronocoulometry, chronoamperometry and rotating disk electrode voltammetry. Chapter 1 serves as a general introduction and provides a brief overview of challenges associated with the synthesis, characterization and utilization of graphitic carbons and graphitic carbon supported catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the synthesis and characterization of systematically doped iron and nickel catalyzed NCNTs in an effort to understand the effect of nitrogen doping on ORR. Chapter 3 describes the use of NCNTs as supports for dendrimer templated nanoparticle catalysts for ORR. A facile synthetic strategy for the immersion based loading of catalysts onto NCNTs by spontaneous adsorption to achieve specific catalyst loadings is explored. Chapter 4 details the loading of monodisperse Pt, Pd and PtPd catalysts on the as synthesized NCNTs using MOCVD precursors. The MOCVD route offers promise for direct dispersion and activation of ORR catalysts on NCNT supports and eliminates a host of problems associated with traditional solvent based catalyst preparation schemes. Chapter 5 details future directions on a few topics of interest including efficient electrodeposition strategies for preparing NCNT supported catalysts, studies on PtCu catalysts for ORR and finally prospects of using NCNT supported catalysts in fuel cell applications.

Download or read book Bimetallic Nanoparticles written by Alexandra Marcela Landry and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bimetallic nanoparticles can lead to catalysts with improved turnover rates and selectivities, but many synthetic protocols, such as impregnation or precipitation, typically form particles of non-uniform size and composition. Colloidal methods may be able to improve their uniformity, but often require reagents that poison catalytic surfaces (ex. S, B, P). Such compositional non-uniformity and ubiquitous impurities have prevented rigorous conclusions about the consequences of alloying on reactivity and selectivity. Herein, we describe a sequential galvanic displacement-reduction (GDR) colloidal synthesis method using precursors containing only C, H, O, and N, that leads to bimetallic AuPt and PtPd nanoparticles narrowly distributed in size and composition. Au3+ or Pt4+ precursors were added to monometallic Pt or Pd clusters, respectively, whose surface atoms are thermodynamically driven to reduce and deposit the solvated cations onto cluster surfaces due to the lower reduction potentials (E0) of the seed metal relative to the precursor cations (E0Au> E0Pt> E0Pd); oxidized Pt and Pd surface atoms subsequently return to cluster surfaces upon reduction by the solvent, a reductant (ethanol or ethylene glycol, respectively). Such methods have been previously used to synthesize AuPd clusters from Pd seed clusters. TEM micrographs confirm that initial seed cluster sizes increase monotonically with increasing Au3+ or Pt4+ content, with final bimetallic cluster dispersity values near unity indicating a narrow size distribution. UV visible spectroscopy of AuPt cluster suspensions show no plasmon resonance features characteristic of Au nano-sized surfaces, indicating the presence of Pt atoms at bimetallic surfaces, as expected for GDR processes. Elemental analysis by EDS confirmed the formation of strictly bimetallic particles with the mean composition of the synthesis mixture. The GDR model requires that bimetallic growth be proportional to the initial seed surface area, with the number of precursor atoms deposited per surface metal atom of the seed constant and independent of seed metal size. Elemental analysis using EDS supports this hypothesis for thermodynamically favorable alloys such as PtPd and AuPd, but not for AuPt, an unfavorable alloy. These differences appear to reflect the segregation of metals within AuPt clusters during synthesis, placing the metal with the lower surface energy, Au, at cluster surfaces, and decreasing the availability of Pt0 surface atoms for GDR. Consequently, autocatalytic Au3+ reduction on Au0 sites becomes a competitive Au3+ reduction pathway during the synthesis of AuPt clusters. Polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)--which bind to metal surfaces during synthesis via charge-transfer interactions--were required in colloidal suspensions to prevent particle agglomeration in solution, but must be removed prior to catalysis. We show that after depositing clusters on SiO2, PVP can be removed from particle surfaces by post-synthetic treatments at mild temperatures (d"423 K) in reductants such as H2 and/or EtOH without significant particle agglomerations. Reductants compete with the polymer at the metal surface, thus breaking the polymer-metal bond. The absence of surface residues was confirmed by the similar cluster sizes derived from O2 chemisorption and TEM measurements. Larger cluster sizes and surfaces that chemisorb oxygen more weakly--such as Pt relative to Pd--were found to facilitate the removal of PVP from metal particles due to weaker metal-polymer bonds. The model catalytic materials prepared in this study are of both fundamental and practical interest to probe the effects of alloying. Using AuPd and AuPt, we investigate the consequences of alloying with Au on the reactivity of catalyst surfaces saturated with either chemisorbed CO* (CO oxidation) or O* (H2 oxidation) that bind strongly to Pt and Pd surfaces and inhibit rates. Singleton Pt-CO* bond energies, reflected in vibrational CO* stretches, were decoupled from dipole-dipole coupling effects using isotopic dilution methods, and were shown to decrease with increasing catalyst Au content. Despite lower CO* binding energies, CO oxidation turnover rates (normalized per metal surface atom) on AuPt catalysts decreased with increasing Au content. These results show that CO oxidation rates depend weakly on CO* binding energy--consistent with the reported structed insensivity of this reaction--and that Au acts primarily as an inert diluent of the active Pt ensembles required for catalysis. In contrast, H2 oxidation turnover rates (normalized per metal surface atom) on AuPt and AuPd catalysts increase with increasing Au content (up to 11 % at. Au content on AuPt and up to 67 % at. Au content on AuPd), indicating that the reactivity of O* saturated surfaces is more sensitive to changes in adsorbate binding energy than surfaces saturated in CO*, consisted with the reported structure sensitivity of reactions on O* saturated surfaces. Reconstruction of CO* adlayers is facile due to highly mobile CO* molecules, thus allowing CO* adlayers to access configurations that help mitigate strong CO* binding and introduce vacancies. O* adlayers, meanwhile, are more strongly bound to Pt and Pd metal surfaces and less mobile. H2 oxidation rates thus depend more strongly on adsorbate binding energy than CO oxidation rates.

This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents recent challenges related to new forms of pollution from industries and discusses adequate state-of-the-art technologies capable to remediate such forms of pollution. Over the past few decades the boom in the industrial sector has contributed to the release in the environment of pollutants that have no regulatory status and which may have significant impact on the health of humans and animals. These pollutants also referred to as "emerging pollutants", are mostly aromatic compounds which derive from excretion of pharmaceutical, industrial effluents and municipal discharge. It is recurrent these days to find water treatment plants which no longer produce water that fits the purpose of domestic consumption based on newly established guidelines. This situation has prompted water authorities and researchers to develop tools for proper prediction and control of the dispersion of pollutants in the environment to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of outbreaks due to sudden load of these pollutants in the water system. The chapters in this book cover a wide range of nano and bio-based techniques that have been designed for the real time detection of emerging contaminants in environmental water sources, geochemical models that are continuously improved for the prediction of inorganic contaminants migration from the mine solid wastes into ground and surface waters. Remediation strategies are also discussed and include effective techniques based on nanotechnology, advanced membrane filtration, oxidative and bio-degradation processes using various types of nanocatalysts, biocatalysts or supporting polymer matrices which are under advanced investigations for their implementation at large scale for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants from polluted water. Nano and Bio-Based Technologies for Wastewater Treatment: Prediction and Control Tools for the Dispersion of Pollutants in the Environment is divided is two sections. The first section covers the occurrence of emerging pollutants in environmental water while the second section covers state-of-the-art research on the removal of emerging pollutants from water using sustainable technologies. A total of 13 chapters addressing various topics related to the two sections are essentially based on recent developments in the respective field which could have a significant impact on the enhancement of the performance of wastewater treatment plants around the world, and especially in developing countries where access to clean and safe water remains a daily challenge.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fine Rh nanoparticles can be deposited uniformly on surfaces of carboxylate functionalized MWNTs using the one-pot sonochemical method. The CNT-supported Rh nanoparticles show remarkably high catalytic active and are reusable for hydrogenation of arenes at room temperature. Complete ring saturation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be achieved under mild hydrogenation conditions using the MWNTs catalyst that can not be done by commercially available Rh nanocatalysts (Rh- Escat 3401 ). This technique also provides a simple and rapid way of making Rh nanoparticles of different size, which allows us to study particle size effects on catalysis. Furthermore, we extended the sonochemical method to synthesize well-dispersed Pt-Rh alloy bimetallic nanoparticles on sidewalls of CNTs and studied the potentially improved activity (synergistic effect) for room temperature catalytic hydrogenation of neat benzene, neat alkylbenzenes, and PAHs.

Book excerpt: Abstract: It is reported that the highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes can be synthesized under mild conditions by in situ plasma treatment. The carbon nanotube was pretreated by O2 plasma to transform into oxide carbon nanotubes (O-CNTs), and then it was mixed with the precursors (the mixture of H2 PtCl6 and PdCl6 ). After that, the O-CNTs and the precursors were simultaneously treated by H2 plasma. The precursors were transformed into Pt-Pd nanoparticles (NPs) and the O-CNTs transformed into CNT. The synthesized CNT-based Pt-Pd nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. All the analysis showed that the Pt-Pd nanoparticles were deposited on CNT as a form of face-centered cubical structure.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platinum (Pt) supported on single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is one of the most efficient catalysts for methanol electroxidation. However, there is lack of a facile and environmental method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles on SWCNT. In the first section, I investigated a novel method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles on SWCNT using DNA molecules as dispersing agent for nanotube uniformly suspended in aqueous solutions and templates for the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles. The morphology of DNA molecules and Pt nanoparticles and their distributions along SWCNT were studied with the use of a number of electron microscopy and microanalysis techniques; electrocatalytic activities of Pt nanoparticles for methanol oxidations were characterized using cyclic voltammetry and A.C. impedance spectroscopy; and interactions among SWCNT, DNA molecules, and Pt nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy. As a result, I found DNA molecules affect the synthesis of Pt nanoparticles around SWCNT and electrocatalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles supported on SWCNT for methanol oxidations. In the second section, I investigated two approaches for synthesizing carbon nanotube (CNT) coated with TiO2 nanoparticles for solar cell applications. One method used titanium sulfate (Ti (SO4)2) as a reaction precursor, and a second method employed titanium isopropoxide (Ti (OCH (CH3)2)4) as a reaction precursor. My experimental results indicate that without surface functionalization of CNT, nanotube coated with sensitizing TiO2 nanoparticles could be obtained through the selection of desirable precursors and reaction parameters-using Ti (OCH (CH3)2)4 as a reaction precursor.
