Platinum nanocluster catalysts supported on Marimo carbon via scalable dry deposition synthesis

Abstract

The development of efficient fuel cells greatly promotes reducing the consumption of fossil energy, and it is crucial to enhance the platinum (Pt) catalytic activity by optimizing both the nanoparticle size and support effect.

Bridging the gas and condensed phases for metal-atom encapsulating silicon- and germanium-cage superatoms: electrical properties of assembled superatoms

“…[28][29][30] In addition, the NC source can be modified to obtain NC solutions 31 and NC-deposited powders. 32 The methods are called direct liquid/powder embedded trapping (DiLET/DiPET), 31,30 opening an opportunity to investigate the properties of bare NCs under various environments. What is more is the fabrication of assembled films and characterization of macroscopic properties such as electrical conduction.…”

Nonlinear Optical Studies of [Pt17(CO)12(PPh3)8]n+ Metal Nanoclusters and Their Enhancement via All-Plastic Photonic Crystal Cavity

“…Admitting the fact that gold and silver are the most explored among the family of noble metals, platinum (Pt) has recently attracted attraction due to its high fluorescence, − lesser cytotoxicity, and excellent catalytic activity. − Pt metal is used as a catalyst in many reactions and is a familiar candidate in hydrogen evolution reactions. Larger Pt nanoparticles, under 532 nm excitation, reveal a switching behavior from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) as the input intensity is increased. , At high intensities, the transient absorption by free carriers caused by the interband (d-sp) transition becomes more prominent, resulting in RSA.…”

Preparation of calcium carbonate microrods from the gypsum scale layer of evaporation equipment

“…[4][5][6][7][8] It is known that the performances of materials are closely related to their size, morphology and composition. [9][10][11][12] The preparation of crystals with specic sizes and morphologies by controlling synthesis conditions is a hotspot in the eld of functional material research. Vateritetype CaCO 3 has a particularly large specic surface area and high porosity, 13,14 which has a great potential as a drug carrier with high loading.…”
