Trimetallic Au/Pt/Rh Nanoparticles as Highly Active Catalysts for Aerobic Glucose Oxidation

Preparation, characterization and catalytic performance of single-atom catalysts

“…Although the activities and durability of colloidal catalysts are usually lower than those of supported catalysts [19,24,29], they still exhibit several major advantages over those that are supported: (1) the intrinsic properties of metal colloidal catalysts can be relatively easily elucidated without the effect of the metal-support interaction; (2) the NCs with more uniform particle sizes can be obtained in the dispersed systems compared with those in the supported cases, especially under conditions of a high metal concentration, because the dispersed metal NCs can be easily concentrated by evaporating the solvent without changing the structures, in spite of the higher loading of metal on inorganic supports normally yields bigger particles with wider particle size dispersions; (3) high stability can be easily achieved for the colloidal catalysts owing to a good protection of the active sites by a protective agent. The present authors have successfully synthesized a series of colloidal NCs which possessed excellent catalytic activity for glucose oxidation [8,[56][57][58][59], NaBH4/KBH4 hydrolysis [60][61][62][63][64][65] or H2O2 decomposition [66]. More recently, Pd/Au [19,67,68], IrPd/Au [69] and Pt/Au [70] colloidal SACs have also been prepared by our group by using the galvanic replacement reaction or successive reduction method.…”

Synergistic Effects in CNTs-PdAu/Pt Trimetallic Nanoparticles with High Electrocatalytic Activity and Stability

“…One is precise control of the compositional ratio of metals by chemical approaches that involve the different reduction kinetics of metallic precursors. The other is elucidation of the dominant synergistic effects in the complex ternary nanostructures [ 24 , 25 ].…”

Tailored Rh surface facilitates, enhancement of Raman scattering in trimetallic AuPt core/Rh shell composites: Experimental and theoretical evidences

“…Trimetallic nanoparticles have been extensively investigated aiming to improve the quality of mono-and bimetal counterparts, because of synergistic interaction between three different metallic elements contained in one particle, leads to enhanced the catalytic activity which are evidently distinct from those of the corresponding mono-and bimetallic nanoparticles [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
