Controlling the Size of Au Nanoparticles on Reducible Oxides with the Electrochemical Potential

Abstract: Controlling the size of Au nanoparticles (NPs) and their interaction with the oxide support is important for their catalytic performance in chemical reactions, such as CO oxidation and water-gas shift. It is known that the oxygen vacancies at the surface of support oxides form strong chemical bonding with the Au NPs and inhibit their coarsening and deactivation. The resulting Au/oxygen vacancy interface also acts as an active site for oxidation reactions. Hence, small Au NPs are needed to increase the density … Show more

“…The corresponding O/Zr ratio of the reacted cathode (Figure f) is close to 0 when sputtering for 1 to 4 min, and it gradually increases to 2 (the same value as the bulk YSZ). The results are consistent with the theory that the applied voltage lowers the oxygen chemical potential at the cathode side, which induces enough low p O 2 to decompose YSZ.…”

“…However, while these factors can affect the exsolution thermodynamically, the kinetics of exsolution can be rather slow, requiring several hours or even tens of hours of annealing at elevated temperatures . On the contrary, electrochemically driven exsolution, triggered by applying an external electrical stimulus, can induce high-density and well-dispersed nanoparticles within just several minutes, as shown in recent literature reports. Applying a cathodic potential to the perovskite oxide can induce a decrease in the oxygen chemical potential ( μ O ) (or effective oxygen partial pressure, p O 2 eff ) of the oxide. The exsolution driven electrochemically has been shown to occur with much more accelerated kinetics compared with thermal reduction, the reason for which is still yet to be clarified .…”
