In this study, a Mn-modified Pt-based catalyst loaded on nitrogen-doped Ketjen black (Mn-Pt/NKB) is prepared using a simple ethylene glycol reduction method. The size of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) is effectively controlled by doping with Mn and N. With the smallest average particle size of 1.7 nm, Mn-Pt/NKB demonstrates half-wave potentials of 0.890 and 0.688 V in the alkaline and neutral electrolytes, respectively, which are superior to those of commercial platinum on activated carbon (Pt/C). When applied as an air cathode in aluminum-air battery, it exhibits ultra-high power densities of 190 (alkaline) and 26.2 mW·cm −2 (neutral). Moreover, the voltage remains stable after 5 h of discharge. The practical application performance of the Mn-Pt/NKB catalyst in an aluminum-air battery is better than that of commercial Pt/C. Furthermore, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) mechanism on surfaces with different particle sizes is analyzed using density functional theory. Oxygen cracking is the major pathway on the surface of the small particles with lower energy consumption of 0.5 eV, while water molecule cleavage is the major pathway on the surface of the large particles with higher energy consumption of 0.97 eV. The lower energy consumption of the oxygen cracking pathway further confirms the ORR mechanism for higher activity on small-sized surfaces. This study provides a direction for the rational design of Pt-based catalysts for ORR and sheds light on the commercial development of aluminum-air batteries.

Electrostrictive materials play an important role in the development of high precision actuators, due to the advantages of high resolution, low power dissipation and fast response time. However, the practical application of electrostrictive materials has been hindered by their limited displacement output. To address this, we conducted a study where we doped Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 (PMN-PT) ceramics with Nd 2 O 3 , aiming to significantly improve the electrostrictive effect by enhancing local structural heterogeneities that disrupt the formation of long-range ordered ferroelectric domains. We obtained an optimized electrostrictive strain of 0.231 % with negligible hysteresis at an electric field of 50 kV/cm in 4 %Nd-doped PMN-PT ceramic, surpassing the performance of state-of-the-art lead-based electrostrictive ceramics. Of particular significance is that a high electrostrictive coefficients M 33 = 12.2 × 10 −16 m 2 /V 2 , together with a high mechanical work density of 0.035 J/cm 3 and a low power dissipation of 14 %, was achieved under a mechanical prestress of 50 MPa and an electric field of 10 kV/cm. Additionally, this material exhibits excellent fatigue resistance , with less than 3 % variation over 10 6 operation cycles. All these findings position 4 %Nd-doped PMN-PT ceramics as a promising candidate for high-performance electromechanical actuator applications.

Herein, bimetallic Pt-Ir alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully fabricated by ethylene glycol reduction of H 2 PtCl 6 ·6H 2 O and IrCl 3 through a microwave-assisted method. The Pt-Ir alloy NPs were deposited on CeO 2 catalysts for toluene combustion. The Pt 2.5 Ir/CeO 2 sample exhibited better catalytic activity at low reaction temperature, compared with monometallic catalysts. The excellent low-temperature catalytic activity was resulted from the interaction between Pt and Ir, richer adsorbed oxygen species and low-temperature reducibility. Furthermore, the in-situ DRIFTS was used to investigate the possible reaction pathway of Pt 2.5 Ir/CeO 2 . It showed that the broken of benzene ring on Pt 2.5 Ir/CeO 2 can be accomplished at lower temperature, resulting in enhancing the deep oxidation of toluene.

Formaldehyde is one of the most serious threats to human health owing to the wide-spread of indoor decoration of modern buildings in recent years. The online monitoring of formaldehyde concentration of the indoor environment has become an urgent issue in modern society. In this work, an ultrafast and highly selective room-temperature formaldehyde gas sensor based on the semiconductor nanomaterials was developed. The Pt-decorated MoO 3 nanobelts were employed as the formaldehyde sensing materials, which were synthesized through hydrothermal and chemical reduction process. The results show that the Pt nanoparticles loading on the surface of the nanobelts are metallic and well crystalized. After the surface-decoration by Pt nanoparticles , the room-temperature HCHO sensing performance of the MoO 3 nanobelts could be greatly enhanced. With only 0.61% (atomic ratio) of Pt nanoparticles loading on MoO 3 , the sensor response towards 200 ppm of HCHO could be increased from 5.7% to 39.3%. The average response and recovery rate were also improved, leading to ultrafast response and recovery process at room temperature. At the LOD (limit of detection) of 1 ppm, the response and recover time of the sensor was only 8.8 s and 0.94 s, respectively. Furthermore, the Pt-decorated MoO 3 nanobelts also exhibited outstanding selectivity against other typical interference VOC including methylbenzene, methanol, ethanol and acetone, as well as good anti-interference performance towards water vapors . The great improvement of the sensor performance could be attributed to the spill-over and catalytic effect of Pt nanoparticles toward HCHO at room temperature.

The reactive interfacial sites upon supported catalysts provide an alternative pathway to enable the reactants activation in an energetically favorable mode, thus decreasing the energy barrier and promoting the catalytic efficiency. By virtue of structural characterization, in-situ spectroscopic analysis, kinetic assessments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, supported Pt/TiN catalysts are systematically studied to interrogate H 2 O activation on the Pt-TiN interfacial sites and its catalytic function during the low-temperature water gas shift (WGS). It is found that the partially oxygen-covered TiN surface is highly efficient for H 2 O activation by oxygen-assisted dissociation with an energy barrier of 0.41 eV, much less than that on metallic Pt surface. The formed hydroxyls binding on Ti sites, observed by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD), could readily react with the adjacent CO adsorbed on Pt clusters with the reaction energy barrier of 0.43 eV to attain the individual catalytic cycle. Benefiting from the enhanced H 2 O activation, the catalytic turnover rate of CO-H 2 O reaction on Pt/TiN is 3.8 and 20.3 times higher than that on traditional Pt/TiO 2 and Pt/SiO 2 at 403 K, respectively. The interfacial reactive sites are the origin of low-temperature WGS on Pt/TiN catalysts.

Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a promising electrolyte material for all-solid-state battery due to its high ionic conductivity and good stability with metallic lithium. In this article, we studied the effect of crucibles on the ionic conductivity and air stability by synthesizing 0.25Al doped LLZO pellets in Pt crucibles and alumina crucibles, respectively. The results show that the composition and microstructure of the pellets play important roles influencing the ionic conductivity, relative density, and air stability. Specifically, the 0.25Al-LLZO pellets sintered in Pt crucibles exhibit a high relative density (∼96%) and high ionic conductivity (4.48 × 10–4 S cm–1). The ionic conductivity maintains 3.6 × 10–4 S cm–1 after 3-month air exposure. In contrast, the ionic conductivity of the pellets from alumina crucibles is about 1.81 × 10–4 S cm–1 and drops to 2.39 × 10–5 S cm–1 3 months later. The large grains and the reduced grain boundaries in the pellets sintered in Pt crucibles are favorable to obtain high ionic conductivity and good air stability. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy results suggest that the formation of Li2CO3 on the pellet surface is probably another main reason, which is also closely related to the relative density and the amount of grain boundary within the pellets. This work stresses the importance of synthesis parameters, crucibles included, to obtain the LLZO electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and good air stability.

Recycling of noble-metal-based catalysts remains difficult and limits their applications towards catalysis in organic synthesis reactions with high viscosity. This work demonstrates a magnetically responsive hydrosilylation catalyst with novel core–shell nanostructure, which can be recycled from highly viscous reaction solutions. The supporting material, with core–shell structure, incorporates a Fe3O4 nanoparticle as the core coated with silica shell through reverse microemulsion approach to form SiO2/Fe3O4 nanoparticles which show superparamagnetic behavior. Ultrafine Pt NPs are facilely prepared and loaded on SiO2 shell via a simple hydrothermal protocol, forming Pt/SiO2/Fe3O4 catalyst. As-synthesized catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity towards the hydrosilylation of allyl polyether with low-hydro silicone oil. Despite the high viscosity of the reaction system, the catalyst dispersed in reaction solution shows superparamagnetic response upon the application of magnetic field and can be recycled up to 7 times without appreciable loss in the catalytic activity. This work demonstrates a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst to catalyze hydrosilylation reaction with high viscosity and proposes a new philosophy to design reusable catalyst for organic reaction.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are attractive in one-carbon (C1) chemistry because of their high atom efficiency. However, it is a great challenge for understanding the dynamic roles of SACs under operating conditions. Here, isolated Pt atoms trapped on defective CeO2 surface are investigated by experiments, especially operando techniques, which offers basic understanding of the nature and dynamic evolution of the Pt–CeO2 interface in dry reforming of methane (DRM). The Pt–Olattice configuration is highly active for CH4 dissociation at the expense of the Olattice atoms, which in turn promotes the H-assisted dissociation of CO2. The transformation of Pt atoms between positive and metallic states is driven by the DRM reaction, which is essential for rendering highly efficient catalysis. The dynamic evolution of Pt atoms favors to eliminate the reactive intermediates, such as carbonates and formates. The dynamic nature of the Pt–CeO2 interface in the DRM reaction shows a similar picture to the Yin and Yang transformation in ancient Chinese Tai Ji wisdom.

In this work, we report a novel Au-Pt bimetallic nanoparticles (Au-PtNPs) decorated on the surface of nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) functionalized with 1, 3, 6, 8-pyrene tetra sulfonic acid sodium salt (PyTS) by direct electrodeposition method. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical impendence spectrum (EIS) reveal that the Au-PtNPs were successfully anchored on the surface of NG sheets with a diameter of 20–40 nm. Further, the prepared Au-PtNPs/PyTS-NG nanocomposite exhibits superior catalytic activity for the oxidation of nitrite. Under optimal experimental conditions, an amperometric sensor with a linear range of 0.5–1621 μM and a detection limit of 0.19 μM (S/N=3) for the detection of nitrite was set up and applied to real samples.

Improving the reaction rate of each step is significant for accelerating the multistep reaction of NO reduction by H2. However, simultaneously enhancing the activation of different gaseous reactants using single-atom catalysts remains a challenge to maximize the activity. Herein, we propose a strategy that utilizes titanium-vacancy-regulated electronic properties of single atoms and defective support (Pt1/d-TiO2) to facilitate electron transfer from edge-share O atoms (OTi) to adjacent Pt single atoms. This leads to the formation of low-valence Pt and unsaturated-charge OTi sites, which causes the catalytic reaction to follow a synergistic mechanism. Specifically, experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate that low-valence Pt sites finely tune the adsorption of H2 molecules, consequently lowering the dissociation energy from 0.15 to as low as 0.01 eV. Moreover, using quasi-in situ spectroscopy, we clearly observe NO molecules being adsorbed on interfacial oxygen sites of a defective support. Then, the bond energy of the N–O bond is weakened through an electron acceptance–donation mechanism between unsaturated-charge OTi sites and NO, thereby facilitating NO activation. The designed single-atom catalysts with synergistic sites exhibit unmatched activity at low temperatures (above 90% NOx conversion at 100 °C), along with higher turnover frequency value (0.74 s–1) and superior stability, making them potentially suitable for industrial applications.

Commercial Pt/C was modified with Ru (IV) species via the hydrolysis of Ruthenium (III) nitrosyl nitrate under a hydrothermal condition. It was revealed that the Pt nanoparticles were surrounded by Ru (IV) species and the presence of Ru (IV) species modified the electronic structure, which lowed the binding energy of Pt atoms. The results from the methanol electrooxidation suggested that the current intensity was increased and at the same time, the onset potential was decreased largely in the presence of Ru(IV) species modified Pt/C, which demonstrated the fact that the Ru (IV) species could activate the water molecules to provide the OH* to remove the CO ads at low potential.
