Molecular sieving platinum nanoparticle catalysts kinetically frozen in nanoporous carbon

Abstract

Highly active shape selective catalysts with excellent thermal stability are synthesized by entrapping well dispersed platinum nanoparticles in a polyfurfuryl alcohol derived nanoporous carbon matrix; these nanocomposites are excellent candidates for new catalytic applications including fuel cells, pharmaceutical synthesis and biomass conversion.

Aqueous-phase reforming of xylitol over Pt/C and Pt/TiC-CDC catalysts: catalyst characterization and catalytic performance

“…Furthermore, the interactions between Pt and carbide-derived support might enhance the catalytic performance. 70 …”

Nanoporous carbon spheres and their application in dispersing silver nanoparticles

“…Nanoporous carbon spheres (NCS) have been of significant research interest because of their potential applications, e.g., in gas separation [1], as molecular sieves [2], photonic band gap crystals [3,4], catalyst supports [5,6] and electrode materials for lithium ion batteries [7,8]. NCS serve as supporting substrates owing to their high surface-to-volume ratio and high structural stability, etc.…”

Effect of interparticle interaction on the low temperature oxidation of CO over size-selected Au nanocatalysts supported on ultrathin TiC films

“…In order to get more in-depth knowledge of possible deactivation mechanisms [22][23][24], special attention has been devoted to the investigation of the dynamic character of a catalyst's surface under ''real-world'' reaction conditions [25,26]. Furthermore, the stability of catalysts has been systematically monitored by using differently spaced metal nanostructures and size-shape-confining prefabricated supports [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”
