Hydrogen Adsorption on Au-Supported Pt and Pd Nanoislands: A Computational Study of Hydrogen Coverage Effects.

ABSTRACT: We have studied the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen under high coverage conditions of adsorbed hydrogen on Pd and Pt nanoislands supported on Au(111) using Density Functional Theory calculations. The results reveal that for Pd/Au(111), the free energy of hydrogen adsorption ΔG is close to 0 kJ/mol when the coverage of adsorbed hydrogen is near 1 ML, where the available catalytic sites are located at the edges of the Pd nanoislands. In the case of Pt/Au(111), ΔG ≈ 0 kJ/mol under a broad range of hydrogen coverage conditions, from 1 ML to 3 ML, depending on the size of the Pt nanoislands. This is the case because the available catalytic sites are located at both the steps and terraces of Pt nanoislands. These findings indicate that Au surfaces with Pd or Pt nanoislands offer catalytic sites with ΔG ≈ 0 for hydrogen reactions, one key factor for an ideal electrocatalyst for hydrogen reactions.

Atomic Structures of Single-Layer Nanoislands of Ni, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, Au Supported on Au(111) from Density Functional Theory Calculations.

Project description:We have used density functional theory calculations to study the atomic structure of single-layer nanoislands of metal M (M=Ni, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, Au) supported on M(111) and Au(111) surfaces. Nanoislands of Cu, Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au have planar structures on Au(111), while nanoislands of Ni, Rh, and Ir are nonplanar. The calculations also show that nanoislands of Cu, Pd, Pt, and Au on Au(111) with a diameter below 3 nm can have one of several atomic structures. Two of these structures have atoms at the edges of the nanoislands located near bridge sites on Au(111), and the other structures have atoms at the edges and center of the nanoislands located near bridge sites. The relative stability of these atomic structures depends on the size and nature of the Au-supported nanoparticles. Our findings provided computational support for the work of Liao and Ya [J. Phys. Chem. C. 121 (2017) 19218-19225] reporting the formation of two phases of Pt nanoislands on Au(111). These findings also reveal the rich and complex atomic structures of small single-layer metal nanoislands supported on metal surfaces.

Strain and Low-Coordination Effects on Monolayer Nanoislands of Pd and Pt on Au(111): A Comparative Analysis Based on Density Functional Results.

Project description:Recent experiments demonstrated that the catalytic centers for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are different on Pd and Pt nanoislands on Au(111). Inspired by these experiments, we examined the geometric, energetic, electronic and hydrogen adsorption properties of monolayer model nanoislands of Pd and Pt supported on Au(111) with density functional theory calculations. Accordingly, Au-tensile strain effects can be nearly 50% larger on the geometric structure of nanoislands of Pd on Au(111) than their Pt analogs, resulting on different electronic properties for these nanoislands. Despite these differences between Pd and Pt nanoisland on Au(111), our computational modelling of the hydrogen adsorption suggests that the unique catalytic centers for the HER on Pd and Pt nanoislands supported on Au(111) derive from the existence of low-coordinated adsorption sites and the intrinsic properties of Pd and Pt, but not from Au-tensile strain effects.

Low Metal Loading (Au, Ag, Pt, Pd) Photo-Catalysts Supported on TiO2 for Renewable Processes.

Project description:Photo-catalysts based on titanium dioxide, and modified with highly dispersed metallic nanoparticles of Au, Ag, Pd and Pt, either mono- or bi-metallic, have been analyzed by multiple characterization techniques, including XRD, XPS, SEM, EDX, UV-Vis and N2 adsorption/desorption. Mono-metallic photo-catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation, while bi-metallic photocatalysts were obtained via deposition-precipitation (DP). The relationship between the physico-chemical properties and the catalyst's behavior for various photo-synthetic processes, such as carbon dioxide photo-reduction to liquid products and glucose photo-reforming to hydrogen have been investigated. Among the tested materials, the catalysts containing platinum alone (i.e., 0.1 mol% Pt/TiO2) or bi-metallic gold-containing materials (e.g., 1 wt% (AuxAgy)/TiO2 and 1 wt% (AuxPtz)/TiO2) showed the highest activity, presenting the best results in terms of productivity and conversion for both applications. The textural, structural and morphological properties of the different samples being very similar, the main parameters to improve performance were function of the metal as electron sink, together with optoelectronic properties. The high activity in both applications was related to the low band gap, that allows harvesting more energy from a polychromatic light source with respect to the bare TiO2. Overall, high selectivity and productivity were achieved with respect to most literature data.

Au-Nanorods Supporting Pd and Pt Nanocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Pd Is Revealed to Be a Better Catalyst than Pt.

Project description:Ordered thin films of Au nanorods (NRs) on Ti/Au/Si heterostructure substrates are electrodeposited in thin film aluminum oxide templates and, after template removal, serve as supports for Pd and Pt nanocatalysts. Based on previous work which showed a better electrocatalytic performance for layered Au/Pd nanostructures than monolithic Pd, electrodeposited 20 nm Pd discs on Au-NRs are first investigated in terms of their catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and compared to monolithic 20 nm Pd and Pt discs. To further boost performance, the interfacial interaction area between the Au-NRs supports and the active metals (Pt and Pd) was increased via magnetron sputtering an extremely thin layer of Pt and Pd (20 nm overall sputtered thickness) on the Au-NRs after template removal. In this way, the whole NR surface (top and lateral) was covered with Pt and Pd nanoparticles, ensuring a maximum interfacial contact between the support and the active metal. The HER performance obtained was substantially higher than that of the other nanostructures. A Salient result of the present work, however, is the superior activity obtained for sputtered Pd on Au in comparison to that of sputtered Pt on Au. The results also show that increasing the Au-NR length translates in a strong increase in performance. Density functional theory calculations show that the interfacial electronic interactions between Au and Pd lead to suitable values of hydrogen adsorption energy on all possible sites, thus promoting faster (barrier-free diffusion) hydrogen adsorption and its recombination to H2. A Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism for HER is proposed, and a volcano plot is suggested based on the results of the Tafel plots and the calculated hydrogen adsorption energies.

Oxidation of Dichloromethane over Au, Pt, and Pt-Au Containing Catalysts Supported on γ-Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3.

Project description:Au, Pt, and Pt-Au catalysts supported on Al2O3 and CeO2-Al2O3 were studied in the oxidation of dichloromethane (DCM, CH2Cl2). High DCM oxidation activities and HCl selectivities were seen with all the catalysts. With the addition of Au, remarkably lower light-off temperatures were observed as they were reduced by 70 and 85 degrees with the Al2O3-supported and by 35 and 40 degrees with the CeO2-Al2O3-supported catalysts. Excellent HCl selectivities close to 100% were achieved with the Au/Al2O3 and Pt-Au/Al2O3 catalysts. The addition of ceria on alumina decreased the total acidity of these catalysts, resulting in lower performance. The 100-h stability test showed that the Pt-Au/Al2O3 catalyst was active and durable, but the selectivity towards the total oxidation products needs improvement. The results suggest that, with the Au-containing Al2O3-supported catalysts, DCM decomposition mainly occurs via direct DCM hydrolysis into formaldehyde and HCl followed by the oxidation of formaldehyde into CO and CO2.

Interfacial nanodroplets guided construction of hierarchical Au, Au-Pt, and Au-Pd particles as excellent catalysts.

Project description:Interfacial nanodroplets were grafted to the surfaces of self-sacrificed template particles in a galvanic reaction system to assist the construction of 3D Au porous structures. The interfacial nanodroplets were formed via direct adsorption of surfactant-free emulsions onto the particle surfaces. The interfacial nanodroplets discretely distributed at the template particle surfaces and served as soft templates to guide the formation of porous Au structures. The self-variation of footprint sizes of interfacial nanodroplets during Au growth gave rise to a hierarchical pore size distribution of the obtained Au porous particles. This strategy could be easily extended to synthesize bimetal porous particles such as Au-Pt and Au-Pd. The obtained porous Au, Au-Pt, and Au-Pd particles showed excellent catalytic activity in catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

Double enhancement of hydrogen storage capacity of Pd nanoparticles by 20 at% replacement with Ir; systematic control of hydrogen storage in Pd-M nanoparticles (M = Ir, Pt, Au).

Project description:We report on binary solid-solution nanoparticles (NPs) composed of Pd and Ir, which are not miscible at the equilibrium state of the bulk, for the first time, by means of a process of hydrogen absorption/desorption from core (Pd)/shell (Ir) NPs. Only 20 at% replacement with Ir atoms doubled the hydrogen-storage capability compared to Pd NPs, which are a representative hydrogen-storage material. Furthermore, the systematic control of hydrogen concentrations and the corresponding pressure in Pd and Pd-M NPs (M = Ir, Pt, Au) have been achieved based on the band filling control of Pd NPs.

Freeze-Driven Adsorption of Oligonucleotides with polyA-Anchors on Au@Pt Nanozyme.

Project description:A promising and sought-after class of nanozymes for various applications is Pt-containing nanozymes, primarily Au@Pt, due to their easy preparation and remarkable catalytic properties. This study aimed to explore the freeze-thaw method for functionalizing Pt-containing nanozymes with oligonucleotides featuring a polyadenine anchor. Spherical gold nanoparticles ([Au]NPs) were synthesized and subsequently used as seeds to produce urchin-like Au@Pt nanoparticles ([Au@Pt]NPs) with an average diameter of 29.8 nm. The nanoparticles were conjugated with a series of non-thiolated DNA oligonucleotides, each consisting of three parts: a 5'-polyadenine anchor (An, with n = 3, 5, 7, 10; triple-branched A3, or triple-branched A5), a random sequence of 23 nucleotides, and a linear polyT block consisting of seven deoxythymine residues. The resulting conjugates were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and emission detection of the fluorescent label at the 3'-end of each oligonucleotide. The stability of the conjugates was found to depend on the type of oligonucleotide, with decreased stability in the row of [Au@Pt]NP conjugates with A7 > A5 > 3A3 > 3A5 > A10 > A3 anchors. These [Au@Pt]NP-oligonucleotide conjugates were further evaluated using lateral flow test strips to assess fluorescein-specific binding and peroxidase-like catalytic activity. Conjugates with A3, A5, A7, and 3A3 anchors showed the highest levels of signals of bound labels on test strips, exceeding conjugates in sensitivity by up to nine times. These findings hold significant potential for broad application in bioanalytical systems.
