The catalytic efficiency of the formic acid electro-oxidation reaction (FAOR) and glycerol electro-oxidation reaction (GOR) using a Pt catalyst was substantially enhanced by adding 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) dissolved in acetonitrile solution (ACN) into the reaction solution. The dynamic structure of TCNQ(ACN) and blank ACN modified Pt catalysts, along with their impacts on the performances in FAOR and GOR were analyzed. A strong relationship was established between the performance of FAOR and GOR and the modifier concentration in the reaction solution. ACN exerted a geometric blocking effect on Pt, thereby considerably improving the direct dehydrogenation process of FAOR. Based on ACN, the performance of the dehydrogenation process of FAOR and GOR was further boosted for the surface electron-rich Pt catalyst due to modification with additional TCNQ modifier. Additionally, the resistance to CO poisoning of modified Pt catalyst was notably improved, and the onset potential decreased from 0.656 V of the unmodified Pt to 0.583 V for a specific amount of TCNQ(ACN) modified Pt catalyst. This study offers a novel perspective to optimize the catalytic performance of the catalyst.

The low activity and rapid coke deposition issues are challenging for the nonmetal and metal catalysts in the direct dehydrogenation (DDH) of ethylbenzene to styrene, respectively. To address these issues, the synergistic effect between nonmetal and metal species was explored in this paper by successively loading Pt species and phosphorus oxynitride (PNO) on Al2O3 support to fabricate PNO/Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. The XPS, TEM, NH3-TPD, and CO2-TPD characterizations revealed an obvious strong interaction between Pt and P, increasing the loading amount of PNO and significantly modifying the electronic properties of the Pt species. The catalytic performance results showed that PNO/Pt/Al2O3 not only exhibited higher catalytic activity with XEB of 56.68% than that of PNO/Al2O3 (39.55%) and Pt/Al2O3 (41.65%) but also displayed better coke resistance than Pt/Al2O3 at high-concentration of ethylbenzene feed. DFT calculations confirmed that the interaction between Pt and PNO led to the obviously reduced energy barriers for α-C–H and β-C–H bond breaking, which therefore enhanced the catalytic activity.

In this study, a bimetallic Pt-Ni alloy catalyst, designated PN 0.5 /VCN 1 , was synthesized with the objective of enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. Photoelectrochemical characterizations confirm that PN 0.5 /VCN 1 significantly improves light absorption, charge transfer efficiency, and proton adsorption/activation capability, leading to enhanced photocatalytic performance. The results demonstrate that under optimized conditions (300 W Xe lamp, lactic acid as the hole scavenger) PN 0.5 /VCN 1 achieves a hydrogen evolution rate of 8.77 mmol·g -1 ·h -1 (4079 times higher than pure CN) with remarkable stability. And stability tests over four cycles (20 h total) indicate no significant activity loss. This enhancement is attributed to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of the alloy, interfacial electron redistribution, and synergistic metal-defect interactions. The modification strategy proposed in this study offers a rational and cost-effective approach for efficient photogenerated charge separation and accelerated proton reduction kinetics, providing a competitive advantage in the market. This work provides a foundation for designing high-performance photocatalytic systems.

Bi-functional catalysts consisting of platinum on aluminosilicate MCM-41 materials with Si/Al ratios between 10 and 30 were prepared via direct mixed-gel synthesis. The catalysts were tested in the hydrocracking of bio-alkanes, produced from biodiesel hydrodeoxygenation and composed of n-hexadecane and n-octadecane, for the production of bio-jet fuel. The effects of temperature, pressure, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), and H 2 /n-paraffin weight ratio on bio-alkanes conversion and product distribution were examined. The conversion was found to be dependent on the acid strength of the catalyst supports which were proportional to the Al content. However, the catalyst selectivity decreased with the increasing Al content. The optimal Si/Al ratio, temperature, pressure, WHSV, and H 2 /n-paraffin weight ratio were determined to be 20, 330 °C, 2 MPa, 1 h −1 , and 0.20, respectively. Under these conditions, the bio-alkanes conversion and kerosene/gasoline ratio in the product reached 65.62% and 1.96, respectively.

Photothermocatalytic oxidation is an environmentally-friendly, low-temperature, and high-efficient method to remove the air pollutant. Yet, the lack of active, inexpensive, and superior stability catalysts has greatly limited its extensive utilization. In this work, the effect of single-atom Pt loading on TiO 2 support has been theoretically and experimentally studied to improve photothermocatalytic performance for the toluene combustion through flame spray pyrolysis (FSP). Pt loading can play two crucial roles into TiO 2 optimization: (1) The low-valence Pt cation incorporated into TiO 2 lattice is dramatically responsible for the anatase-rutile transformation (ART) and formation of sufficient oxygen vacancies ; (2) Introducing the defect energy level and Pt-3d orbitals remarkably promote the charge separation efficiency of single-atom catalysts. Moreover, the existence of single-atom Pt nanoparticles can signally boost the activity of surface adsorbed and lattice oxygen, as well as substantially reduce the oxygen vacancy formation energy. Thus, the toluene removal under light irradiation reaches 90% conversion below 160 °C and is maximally 18 °C lower than that under only thermocatalytic oxidation. It is attributed to larger specific surface area (SSA), outstanding low-temperature reducibility, extremely dispersed hybrid PtO x , more surface active oxygen, and higher mobility of bulk oxygen. Interestingly, when the oxygen-fuel equivalent ratio φ distinctly increases by shifting precursor solvent from xylene to ethanol, the photothermocatalytic property of toluene can be remarkably enhanced on single-atom Pt catalysts. It is due to the higher Pt dispersion resulting from more intense burning and drastic turbulent mixing, as well as the superior ratio of the metallic Pt active sites originating from higher flame temperature. Eventually, the rate-determining step of C 7 H 8 combustion on Pt/TiO 2 and Cu/TiO 2 slab are all the C C bond fracture of maleic anhydride to form acetic anhydride species, with the energy barriers of 112.03 and 188.74 kJ/mol, respectively.

More than 25% of chemical transformations involve at least one hydrogenation step. Selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes is an essential process in the industrial production of pesticides and pharmaceutical synthesis. Since C═C hydrogenation with lower bond energy is thermodynamically favored over C═O hydrogenation, the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to cinnamyl alcohol (COL) is relatively challenging. Herein, we report a series of Pt-CeO2 nanoreactors with different spatial locations and microenvironments of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on hollow CeO2 that are active for the selective hydrogenation of CAL to COL. We show the effects of active metal spatial location, microenvironment, metal–support interactions, and Fe doping on the activity and selectivity within Pt-CeO2 nanoreactors. Pt@Fe-CeO2 shows excellent catalytic performance with an 88.9% selectivity for COL at a CAL conversion of 97.2%. The variations of the electronic and crystal structure after Fe doping, simultaneously, and the linear adsorption of CAL on the CeO2 hollow structure contribute to the high performance of selective hydrogenation to COL. Our findings might shed light on the rational design of the nanoreactors for catalytic organic transformations with desired selectivity.

As a typical two-dimensional (2D) layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ) has been considered as a promising sensing material for room-temperature NH 3 detection. However, the bulk WS 2 -based room-temperature NH 3 sensors can hardly recover to its initial state after turning off gas . Although the recovery rate of bulk WS 2 was accelerated by thinning method, the response of few- or monolayer WS 2 nanosheets (NSs) to NH 3 was sharply decreased. Here, in premise of keeping fast recovery rate, few- or monolayer WS 2 NSs modified with Pt quantum dots (QDs) were prepared for room-temperature NH 3 detection, which exhibited significantly enhanced sensing properties with fast recovery speeds. Especially, the response of nanocomposite to 250 ppm NH 3 is nearly 10 times than that of WS 2 NSs, which could be attributed to the significantly decreased initial conductivity caused by electrons flowing from higher Fermi level of Pt QDs to that of WS 2 NSs and the higher catalytic activity. Furthermore, the Pt S bonds confirmed by XPS results could benefit electrons transfer between the interface. We hope that the 0D/2D heterostructure system in this work could provide a direction to improve sensing properties of 2D TMDs-based room-temperature sensors.

In this work, an ultrasensitive microelectrode for hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) detection was constructed. The carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) was modified with Pt-Pd nanocoral (Pt-Pd/CFME) by using a one-step electrochemical deposition method. Compared to Pt/CFME and Pd/CFME, the Pt-Pd/CFME has larger active surface area and faster electron transfer efficiency, thus exhibiting higher electrocatalytic activity for H 2 O 2 sensing. Under the optimal condition, the Pt-Pd/CFME presents fast response time (≤5 s), high selectivity (11.6 mA mM −1 cm −2 ), wide linear range (5–3920 μM) and low detection limit (0.42 μM, S/N = 3) for H 2 O 2 detection. Furthermore, the proposed sensor was successfully employed to monitor H 2 O 2 released from A549 living cells, and the detection of H 2 O 2 in milk was also realized. With the above attractive electrocatalytic properties and convenient fabrication process, the as-prepared microelectrode provides unique advantages in the monitor of H 2 O 2 in biological samples, especially in cellular environment.

Anisotropic plasmonic metals have attracted significant attention in enhancing the catalytic performance of catalysts due to their broad light-harnessing capabilities and active hot electrons; however, limited investigations have been dedicated towards improving their electrochemical reaction performance in the visible and near infrared (NIR) regions. Herein, anisotropic Pt-edged Au nanodisks (NDs) were synthesized by controlling the preferential loading of Pt and used as catalysts for plasmon-enhanced electrochemical methanol oxidation reactions (MORs) under visible-NIR light irradiation by, and the light-enhanced electric current over the Pt-edged Au NDs was found to be 3-fold higher than that under dark conditions. Wavelength-dependent electric current over the Pt-edged Au NDs for the MOR in the visible-NIR light region demonstrates that the light-induced enhancement of the electric current is due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the Au NDs. Furthermore, plasmonic hot electron transfer was studied by the single-particle photoluminescence images and spectra of Au NDs and Pt–Au NDs, and the dipole surface plasmon resonance (DSPR) mode was proved to be the main channel for hot electron transfer. During the electrochemical reaction under visible-NIR light irradiation, a plasmonic hot electron is transferred to the electrode, and a “hot hole” is left on the surface, boosting the MOR.

In this study, a simple, facile, and effective wet-chemical strategy was developed in the synthesis of uniform porous Pt–Pd nanospheres (Pt–Pd NSs) supported on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (RGOs) under ambient temperature, where octylphenoxypolye thoxyethanol (NP–40) is used as a soft template, without any seed, organic solvent or special instruments. The as-prepared nanocomposites display enhanced electrocatalytic activity and good stability toward methanol oxidation , compared with commercial Pd/C and Pt/C catalysts. This strategy may open a new route to design and prepare advanced electrocatalysts for fuel cells.

The glycerol electrochemical oxidation (GEOR) represents a sustainable strategy for converting abundant biomass-derived feedstocks into high value-added chemicals. Herein, we prepared a series of Pt/Au/Ti catalysts via electrodepositing Pt nanoparticles (NPs) onto Au-sputtered Ti substrates (Au/Ti). The atomic Pt/Au ratio on the surface was engineered through pulse-deposition cycles. The structures of the catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction, confirming that Pt NPs were uniformly deposited on the Au/Ti surface. Electrochemical evaluations demonstrated that the 10Pt/Au/Ti catalyst has superior GEOR performance in 1 M KOH solutions, achieving a peak current density of 13.16 mA cm −2 . Operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that Au and Pt worked synergistically to promote the adsorption of adsorbed hydroxyl species ( OH ad ) and glycerol, thereby improving GEOR activity. Product analysis revealed that the 10Pt/Au/Ti catalyst yielded the highest glyceric acid selectivity of 93.6% at 0.9 V vs. RHE under alkaline conditions. This study provides an efficient strategy for the highly selective conversion of glycerol into high value-added C 3 products.

Anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWE) are promising for clean hydrogen production. However, the high energy barriers associated with water adsorption and dissociation combined with the high adsorption energy of hydrogen intermediates (H*) in alkaline environment result in slow kinetics for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). To tackle this, we report a catalyst comprising Pt nanoparticles loaded on Co(OH) 2 /PTI nanosheets (Pt/Co(OH) 2 /PTI) for efficient alkaline HER at high current densities. Operando characterization indicates that Co(OH) 2 promotes H 2 O adsorption and dissociation, while the Pt nanoparticles optimize H* adsorption energy, enabling preferential H* adsorption at the Pt site to facilitate H 2 generation and desorption. Furthermore, the ultra-thin poly (triazine imide) (PTI) support prevents the Pt nanoparticles aggregation, thereby enhancing catalyst stability. As a result, the synergistic Pt/Co(OH) 2 /PTI achieves superior HER performance, demanding an overpotential of merely 7 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and just 220 mV to drive 1 A cm −2 , and it maintains stable for over 220 h under the condition of 1 A cm −2 . Additionally, the electrolyzer assembled using Pt/Co(OH) 2 /PTI as the cathode demonstrates stable operation for 200 h at 0.5 A cm −2 under 70 °C, highlighting its strong potential for industrial applications.
