Gas-Phase Synthesis of Trimetallic Nanoparticles

“…21−27 It was, therefore, expected that a suitable combination of these three noble metals would favorably modify the electronic structure of the nanoparticles and provide more active sites for enhanced catalytic activity. 28−33 Various studies focused on the Au−Pt−Pd system developed by some chemical route: by typical reduction of precursors and adjustment of decomposition kinetics to form multishell particles, 34,35 sol-immobilization, 36,37 fabrication from a poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-based aqueous solution, 31 electroless deposition, 38 etc. These syntheses enabled the formation of spherical, multishell Au@Pd@Pt nanoparticles, 34 nanoalloys, 38 Au@Pd@Pt nanocubes, 39 or even interesting trimetallic "nanoflowers".…”

High-efficiency electrochemical hydrogen evolution based on the intermetallic Pt2Si compound prepared by magnetron-sputtering

“…2,10,43,[45][46][47][48][49][50] In addition to metal hydroxides, a Si nanocomposite has exhibited a high light-harvesting efficiency and hydrogen evolution performance under both UV-vis and visible light irradiation. [51][52][53] On the surface of the silicon semiconductor, water molecules can spontaneously dissociate at the Si-H and Si-OH bonds. 11,54 Moreover, Si can modify the electronic properties of Pt, via a synergistic strain and ligand electronic interaction.…”

Изучение термической стабильности нанокластеров Pt, взаимодействующих с углеродными подложками

“…Кластеры Pt привлекают повы-шенное внимание исследователей из-за возможности их активного использования в химической промышленно-сти, электрокатализе, микроэлектронике, медицине и т. д. [1][2][3][4]. Из-за того, что активность и селективность ка-талитических реакций с использованием наночастиц тес-но связана с их внутренним строением [5], стабильность структуры наночастиц является критически значимой.…”
