The shape-controlled synthesis of bimetallic Pt-based nanoarchitectonics has attracted considerable interest due to their remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, we report a direct method for the fabrication of unique bimetallic AuPt nanobrick spherical nanoarchitectonics (AuPt NSNs) in aqueous solution. Benefiting from their rugged surfaces and bimetallic compositions, AuPt NSNs exhibit excellent electrocatalytic performance for the ORR. The proposed method is very useful for the fabrication of metallic nanoarchitectonics with rugged surfaces.

The Pt catalysts supported on hexagonal BN (Pt/BN) are highly active and stable for propane combustion, with the highest specific reaction rate of 92.3 μmol gPt–1 s–1 and turnover frequency of 0.037 s–1 obtained on a 0.2Pt/BN catalyst at 220 °C. The Pt oxide in the catalyst could be partially reduced to the metallic state by propane during the reaction, which is beneficial for the improvement of activity, indicating that metallic Pt might be the active sites. The highly dispersed Pt particles stabilized at the grain boundary of BN could be more easily reduced in the reaction than those on the surface and thus are more active. Moreover, kinetic investigation reveals that the apparent activation energy of the Pt species at the grain boundary (111.6 ± 8.0 kJ mol–1) is much lower than that on the surface (172.4 ± 16.5 kJ mol–1), suggesting different reaction pathways on these catalysts and the possible participation of the grain boundary of the BN support in the reaction.

Two binuclear platinum metallomesogens possessing a 6,12-dihydro-indeno[1,2-b]fluorene bridge, FJ-1 and FJ-2, have been synthesised and characterised by 1H and 13C NMR, TOF-MS and elemental analysis. Their thermal properties were studied by polarised optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Upon photoexcitation in solution, both complexes exhibited dual fluorescence (1π–π*)/phosphorescence (3π–π*) emission covering most of the visible spectrum (from about 460 nm to 750 nm). This uncommon behaviour has been further investigated by time-resolved optical spectroscopy, including nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy, and further insights were obtained by means of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) using FJ-1 was prepared. Importantly the two emission bands are retained in electroluminescence. This result suggests that controlling spin–orbit coupling to obtain dual emission can provide an effective way of achieving broadband emission based on a single molecule.

A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed based on the dual catalysis of dendritic Pd-Pt porous nanoparticles and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The Pd-Pt porous nanoparticles, for the first time, were used to immobilize HRP. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, HRP functioned Pd-Pt porous nanoparticles were applied in hCG detection with a detection limit of 0.07 IU L −1 . The linear intervals is 0.1–6.4 IU L -1 . The Pd-Pt-HRP possesses a better sensitivity than the traditional BA-ELISA. Furthermore, the precision and reproducibility and selectivity were assessed to be eligible for the hCG monitoring.

The Low utilization and high cost of platinum counter electrode (CE) in the application of dye-sensitized solar cells has limited its large-scale manufacturing in the industry. Herein, a facile pyrolysis combination of Pt and SBA-15 molecular sieve (MS) formed 1.6–1.9 times higher amount and 2–3 times reduced dimension of Pt distributed within porous structure of SBA-15. The composite CE with 20 % of SBA-15 exhibited an enhanced power conversion efficiency of 9.31 %, exceeding that of absolute Pt CE (7.57 %). This superior performance owed to the promoted oxidation-reduction rate of I 3 − /I − pairs at the CE interface and the increased conductivity of CE materials attributed from well distributed Pt particles. This work has demonstrated the significance of utilizing porous molecular sieves for dispersing catalytic sites when designing a novel type of counter electrode and their application in DSSCs.

Tungsten and aluminum were directly incorporated into SBA-15 via one-step synthesis method under an acidic medium. The W- and Al-incorporated SBA-15 was applied as support for Pt nanoparticles to catalyze glycerol hydrogenolysis toward 1,3-propanediol. A combination of the characterization techniques showed that the tungsten and aluminum were incorporated into SBA-15 homogeneously, and the platinum nanoparticles could be uniformly dispersed on the modified-SBA-15. The catalytic performance of Pt-loaded SBA-15 could be significantly improved after the incorporation of tungsten and aluminum into SBA-15, reaching a 1,3-PDO selectivity near 50% when the glycerol conversion was 66%. The glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction proceeds through a dehydration–hydrogenation process, and the enhanced 1,3-PDO selectivity greatly benefited from the synergism between Brønsted acid and Lewis acid sites, which is tightly related with the incorporation of tungsten and aluminum species on the modified SBA-15.

Exploring the applications of two dimensional layered Ti3C2X2 (X = OH, F) is of great importance because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. Herein, we report the synthesis of the bimetallic catalyst PtyCo1−y/Ti3C2X2via a facile one-pot approach using Ti3C2X2 as the support. The in situ synthesized PtyCo1−y/Ti3C2X2 is subsequently applied as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane at 25 °C. Experimental results show that Pt0.08Co0.92/Ti3C2X2 exhibits excellent catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with a high hydrogen generation rate of 100.7 L H2 (min gPt)−1 and turnover frequency of 727 mol H2 (min molPt)−1 because of the synergistic effect between Pt and Co. Moreover, Pt0.08Co0.92/Ti3C2X2 could be recovered from the reaction mixture by a magnet and recycled at least seven times, thus showing its high recycling efficiency.

Single atom catalysts have been recently reported as the efficient catalysts for hydroisomerization compared to the conventional nanoparticle catalyst. Despite the fascinating advantage in enhancing the metal activity or reducing the catalyst cost, the long-term stability of the single atom catalyst seemed not that satisfactory, especially when reacting under atmospheric pressure. Herein, Pt single atom catalysts were combined with Cu nanoparticles by different means to explore a new way to improve the catalytic performance. Cu nanoparticles were located away from Pt sites to form a binary catalyst, or acted as the support of Pt atoms to form a single atom alloy (SAA) catalyst. With the binary catalyst Pt 1 –0.1Cu@CS, the conversion of the n -heptane after time on stream of 50 h increased to 70.3 %, higher than Pt 1 @CS (47.3 %). Besides, excessive Cu nanoparticles in the binary catalyst were found rather harmful to the catalysis instead. However, the SAA catalyst Pt 1 Cu@SAPO-11 showed a poor activity in hydroisomerization compared to Pt 1 @CS, indicating that the alloy structure should go against the activation of reactant. The roles of Pt atoms and Cu nanoparticles in different catalysts were discussed in detail. The reaction mechanism of hydroisomerization was refined with the different functions of the dual metal sites. This work might be instructive for the design of single atom catalysts combined with metal nanoparticles.

Electrochemical water splitting powered by green electricity generated from intermittent geothermal, wind and solar power is a promising approach to realize large-scale hydrogen production owing to its sustainable and clean characteristics. Developing electrocatalysts with high electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at an ultrahigh current density (>1000 mA cm −2 ) still needs a breakthrough. Here, a bicontinuous nanoporous PtNiMg alloy with an ultralow noble metal content for the HER is fabricated by a facile high-temperature sintering method based on the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. A bicontinuous nanoporous alloy electrode with an ultralow content of approximately 1 at % Pt for the HER in an alkaline medium achieves an extremely low overpotential of 22 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and a Tafel slope (30.9 mV dec -1 ) of the Volmer-Tafel mechanism. The alloy electrode for the HER at a wide current density of 1–2000 mA cm −2 displays superior stability in alkaline media. The 3D bicontinuous nanoporous structure, perfect synergistic effect of Ni and Pt species, high structural stability and excellent conductivity of the 1-PtNiMg-900 alloy achieve outstanding electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability at an ultrawide range of HER current densities. This study greatly improves the electrochemical performance of Pt-based electrocatalysts for the HER via a novel fabrication approach and provides the possibility of large-scale industrial application for H 2 production.

Restructuring of a heterogeneous catalyst under reaction conditions is a common phenomenon. Severe restructuring of a catalyst can result in deactivation in many catalytic systems—for example, the catalytic dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Herein, we report the utilization of catalyst restructuring to improve activity and stability for the propane dehydrogenation reaction. A bimetallic platinum and zinc (Pt 1 Zn m ) catalyst protected by an in situ restructured silicalite-1 zeolite is prepared. The catalyst yields outstanding activity (initial conversion of ∼69.2%, initial selectivity of ∼91.1%) with high stability at 580°C, which is better than several commercial catalysts. Characterization shows the singly dispersed bimetallic sites of Pt 1 Zn m serve as the catalytic sites during the reaction. Moreover, the less-stable silicalite-1 zeolite undergoes restructuring during the dehydrogenation reaction, forming a crucial protective layer on the Pt 1 Zn m bimetallic nanocatalysts.

The demand for efficient methods to determine mercury ion (Hg 2+ ) is increasing. Herein, we developed a ratiometric fluorescence assay by the coupling of nanozyme and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to determine Hg 2+ . Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) was synthesized as effective nanozyme to catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) at the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to produce 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). The fluorescence emission of Si quantum dots (QDs) at 414 nm (I 414 ) was observed to be quenched by DAP (emission at 576 nm (I 576 )) via FRET mechanism, whereas Hg 2+ can depress the catalytic activity of PtNPs to generate DAP. Based on this principle, SiQDs/PtNPs/OPD/H 2 O 2 -based ratiometric fluorescence assay was developed that the emission ratio of DAP and SiQDs (I 576 /I 414 ) decreased with a higher concentration of Hg 2+ . Noteworthy, the sensitivity of such system was found to be related with the value of I 576 /I 414 . The developed assay offered a detection range of 20–3000 nM and a detection limit of 10.5 nM. This assay was applied to analyze Yangtze river water, and its reliability has been validated by the standard ICP-MS method. Our work provided an effective and convenient method for Hg 2+ detection.

Preparing stable highly dispersed Pt based electrocatalyst is promising to reduce material expense of H 2 product via electrocatalytic water splitting. However, it is still a great challenge to obtain stable single atomic Pt catalysts which can be applied in acidic electrolyte. In the present work, we synthesized Pt atomic clusters on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) grafting multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) (Pt content: 1 wt.%) catalysts and then loading the catalysts on carbon cloth (Pt content: 0.01 mg▪cm –2 ) for activity test. The overpotential of 29 mV versus RHE was obtained over 1%Pt/CQDs/CNT catalysts at the current density of 10 mA▪cm –2 , and the Tafel slope of 22 mV decade –1 was obtained, too. Especially, the catalysts showed significant stability in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) in acidic solution, of which the overpotential was still smaller than that of 20%Pt/C after 10,000 CV cycles. CQDs provided coordinating sites for dispersing Pt atomic clusters and improved the H + concentration in adjacent area around the Pt clusters. This method provides a general strategy to design the highly efficient electrocatalysts with ultra-low precious metals for H 2 evolution in acidic electrolyte.
