Lead-based Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 ceramics have been widely applied in piezoelectric actuators, and yet high temperature stability and large strain have been pursued for further application. In this work, a novel PbZrO 3 –PbTiO 3 -(Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 )TiO 3 (PZ-PT-BNT) piezoelectric ceramic is designed and prepared by solid-state route. It is found that the introduction of BNT constituent enhances the relaxation behavior of PZ-PT ceramic, inhibits the abrupt change in dielectric properties near Curie temperature , and increases the proportion of tetragonal phase with high temperature stability. Meanwhile, the patterns of electric domains are intentionally modified by adjusting composition of PZ-PT-BNT. Short and broad electric domains in PZ-PT-0.03BNT ceramic are observed by piezoresponse force microscopy, which are insensitive to temperature and have faster response under electric field, contributing to strain characteristics. As a result, through integrating phase structure and electric domain configuration, a strain of 0.21% and excellent temperature stability where the variation of strain is less than 8% in the temperature range of 25–250 °C are achieved in PZ-PT-0.03BNT ceramic. The findings provide an effective strategy for improving the strain stability of PZ-PT-based piezoelectric ceramics, and demonstrate that PZ-PT-BNT ceramics have potential application prospects in high-temperature piezoelectric actuators.

The sluggish kinetic processes of the anode and the poisoning characteristics of *NH 3 intermediates in the direct ammonia fuel cell paradigm necessitate bespoke electrocatalyst engineering. Given the fundamental traits of surface reactions in electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) and the high efficiency of alloy catalysts, PtNi nanowires, nanorods, and nanoparticles with a Pt shell structure were developed as surface-engineered model catalysts to clarify how the microarchitecture of nanocatalysts affects the adsorption of NH 3 and intermediates, along with AOR activity. PtNi nanowires exhibit significantly improved activity compared to PtNi nanorods, nanoparticles, and commercial Pt/C, due to the higher proportion of the Pt(100) facet and their unique thin Pt shell layer structure. The peak current density of PtNi nanowires reaches 0.63 mA cm −2 , 2.52 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. Furthermore, the incorporation of Ni into Pt can effectively bolster the electrochemical durability via electronic effects on the Pt surfaces. Upon conversion from ambient temperature to 60 °C, PtNi nanowires still demonstrate superior AOR activity and durability compared to commercial Pt/C. Density functional theory calculations have elucidated that the thin Pt shell structure can effectively augment the adsorption of NH 3 and diminish the activation energy of the AOR process. This seminal work provides a conceptual framework for the design of efficacious AOR catalysts.

As the efficient catalysts are synthesized by a simple strategy, photocatalysis offers a sustainable route to solve the problem of environmentally sound treatment of industrial dye wastewater. Herein, Pt-doped TiO2with MIL-125 as the backbone has been fabricated using thermal synthesis. The photocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized catalyst samples was tested using Rhodamine B (RhB) as the contaminant model. The physicochemical properties of the solid specimens were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and EDX techniques. The photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that the photocatalytic degradation of RhB by M-Pt-TiO2was 98.97% after 30 min of degradation. The radical capture experiments showed that superoxide radicals and conduction band electrons as reactive oxygen species played a major role in the degradation process. After four cycles, the photocatalytic activity of M-Pt-TiO2decreased from 98.4% to 94.9%, indicating that the photocatalyst sample had good photocatalytic stability.Keywords:metal-organic framework;Pt-TiO2;photocatalysis;dye wastewater;Rhodamine B

Electrodynamic therapy (EDT) has recently emerged as a potential external field responsive approach for tumor treatment. While it presents a number of clear superiorities, EDT inherits the intrinsic challenges of current reactive oxygen species (ROS) based therapeutic treatments owing to the complex tumor microenvironment, including glutathione (GSH) overexpression, acidity and others. Herein for the first time, iron oxide nanoparticles are decorated using platinum nanocrystals (Fe 3 O 4 @Pt NPs) to integrate the current EDT with chemodynamic phenomenon and GSH depletion. Fe 3 O 4 @Pt NPs can effectively induce ROS generation based on the catalytic reaction on the surface of Pt nanoparticles triggered by electric field (E), and meanwhile it may catalyze intracellular H 2 O 2 into ROS via Fenton reaction. In addition, Fe 3+ ions released from Fe 3 O 4 @Pt NPs under the acidic condition in tumor cells consume GSH in a rapid fashion, inhibiting ROS clearance to enhance its antitumor efficacy. As a result, considerable in vitro and in vivo tumor inhibition phenomena are observed. This study has demonstrated an alternative concept of combinational therapeutic modality with superior efficacy.

Pt catalysts are commonly used for chemical reaction processes due to its high catalytic activity and selectivity. Notably, the size of metal particles often has a significant impact on the performance of the metal-loaded catalysts. Therefore, developing highly efficiently synthesis method for the size control of Pt catalysts has great development prospects and research value. In this study, high-throughput size tuning of Pt-based catalysts was achieved by carbonizing the carriers. The experimental and characterization results showed that the size of the loaded Pt nanoparticles varied with different concentrations of glucose solution during carriers carbonization process. The reduction of 4-nitrophenol as a template reaction indicated that the reaction rate constant of the catalyst is approximately linear with the size of Pt particles. Importantly, a laboratory-built high-throughput synthesis system was applied for the catalyst synthesis, which enhances the automation of the laboratory exploratory experiments and makes it possible to synthesize catalysts with controllable size in batches.

One of the current challenges in nanozyme-based nanotechnology is the utilization of multifunctionalities in one material. In this regard, Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with excellent enzyme-mimicking activities due to the Pt shell and unique surface plasmon resonance features from the Au core have attracted enormous research interest. However, the unique surface plasmon resonance features from the Au core have not been widely utilized. The practical problem of the optical-damping nature of Pt hinders the research into the combination of Au@Pt NPs’ enzyme-mimicking properties with their surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities. Herein, we rationally tuned the Pt amount to achieve Au@Pt NPs with simultaneous plasmonic and enzyme-mimicking activities. The results showed that Au@Pt NPs with 2.5% Pt produced the highest Raman signal in 2 min, which benefited from the remarkably accelerated catalytic oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine with the decorated Pt and strong electric field retained from the Au core for SERS. This study not only demonstrates the great promise of combining bimetallic nanomaterials’ multiple functionalities but also provides rational guidelines to design high-performance nanozymes for potential biomedical applications.

Light illumination has been widely used to promote activity and selectivity of traditional thermal catalysts. Nevertheless, the role of light irradiation during catalytic reactions is not well understood. In this work, Pt/Al 2 O 3 prepared by wet impregnation was used for photothermal CO 2 hydrogenation, and it showed a photothermal effect. Hence, operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations were conducted on Pt/Al 2 O 3 to gain insights into the reaction mechanism. The results indicated that CO desorption from Pt sites including step sites (Pt step ) or/and terrace site (Pt terrace ) is an important step during CO 2 hydrogenation to free the active Pt sites. Notably, visible light illumination and temperature affected the CO desorption in different ways. The calculated adsorption energy of CO on Pt step and Pt terrace sites was −1.24 and −1.43 eV, respectively. Hence, CO is more strongly bound to the Pt step sites. During heating in the dark, CO preferentially desorbs from the Pt terrace site. However, the additional light irradiation facilitates transfer of CO from the Pt step to Pt terrace sites and its subsequent desorption from the Pt terrace sites, thus promoting the CO 2 hydrogenation.

As a bio-based platform chemical, it is desirable to convert levulinic acid (LA) to varieties of value-added biochemicals. n-Butane, mainly from nonrenewable fossil resources, is a basic chemical to produce some important chemicals, such as butadiene and ethylene. In this paper, 95.5% yield of n-butane was obtained from LA in one-step over base-treated Pt/C at around 300 °C in 4 h. The reaction pathway was confirmed to be the hydrodeoxygenation of LA to valeric acid (VA) and then the VA decarboxylation to n-butane by kinetic studies. Base-treated Pt/C had better reactivity due to its improved decarboxylation activity. Detailed characterization of the catalyst revealed that the Pt particle size is the key reason for the activity improvement, and further studies showed that Pt nanoparticles with a size of 2–4 nm showed the highest decarboxylation activity. This is the first report on the direct conversion of LA to n-butane.

Design sensing materials with core-shell structure is an excellent strategy to achieve high sensing performance toward acetone detection. Herein, MIL-88A(Fe) was fabricated via a hydrothermal route, which renders as a template to fabricate Fe 2 O 3 @In 2 O 3 core-shell spindles structure. Gas sensing results show that the sensor based on Fe 2 O 3 @In 2 O 3 exhibit enhanced response of 193–200 ppm acetone than that of 36 for pristine Fe 2 O 3 at 200 °C. After Pt functionalization, the response of Fe 2 O 3 @In 2 O 3 /Pt to 200 ppm acetone is up to 839 at a reducing working temperature of 180 °C with a good selectivity and long-term stability. A synergistic mechanism originated from the intrinsic merits of Fe 2 O 3 and In 2 O 3 , the 1D core-shell structure, the creation of heterojunction at the interface of Fe 2 O 3 and In 2 O 3 and the creation of Shottky junction at In 2 O 3 and Pt nanoparticles, and the catalytic reaction of Pt holds accountable for the significant improvement in acetone sensing.

Photodriven nonoxidative coupling of CH4 (NOCM) is a potential alternative approach to clean hydrogen and hydrocarbon production. Herein, a Mott–Schottky photocatalyst for NOCM is fabricated by loading Pt nanoclusters on a Ga-doped hierarchical porous TiO2–SiO2 microarray with an anatase framework, which exhibits a CH4 conversion rate of 3.48 μmol g–1 h–1 with 90% selectivity toward C2H6. This activity is 13 times higher than those from microarrays without Pt and Ga. Moreover, a continuous H2 production (36 μmol g–1) with a high CH4 conversion rate of ∼28% can be achieved through a longtime irradiation (32 h). The influence of Ga on the chemical state of a surface oxygen vacancy (Vo) and deposited Pt is investigated through a combination of experimental analysis and first-principles density functional theory calculations. Ga substitutes for the five-coordinated Ti next to Vo, which tends to stabilize the single-electron trapped Vo and reduce the electron transfer from Vo to the adsorbed Pt, resulting in the formation of a higher amount of cationic Pt. The cationic Pt and electron-enriched metallic Pt form a cationic–anionic active pair, which is more efficient for the dissociation of C–H bonds. However, the presence of too much cationic Pt results in more C2+ product with a decrease in the CH4 conversion rate due to the reduced charge-carrier separation efficiency. This study provides deep insight into the effect of the doping/loading strategy on the photocatalytic NOCM reaction and is expected to shed substantial light on future structural design and modulation.

The development and commercialization of direct ethanol fuel cells requires active and durable electro-catalysts towards the ethanol oxidation reactions (EOR). Rational composition and morphology control of Pt-based alloy nanocrystals can not only enhance their EOR reactivity but also reduce the consumption of precious Pt. Herein, PtCu nanocubes (NCs)/CB enclosed by well-defined (100) facets were prepared by solution synthesis, exhibiting much higher mass activity (4.96 A mgPt−1) than PtCu nanoparticles (NPs)/CB with irregular shapes (3.26 A mgPt−1) and commercial Pt/C (1.67 A mgPt−1). CO stripping and in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) experiments indicate that the alloying of Cu enhanced the adsorption of ethanol, accelerated the subsequent oxidation of intermediate species, and increased the resistance to CO poisoning of PtCu NCs/CB, as compared with commercial Pt/C. Therefore, alloying Pt with earth-abundant Cu under rational composition and surface control can optimize its surface and electronic structures and represents a promising strategy to promote the performance of electro-catalysts while reduce the use of precious metals.Keywords:Pt–Cu alloy;nanocubes;electrocatalysis;ethanol oxidation reaction;in situ FTIR

The detection of cancer biomarkers is of great significance for the early screening of cancer. Detecting the content of sarcosine in blood or urine has been considered to provide a basis for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, it still lacks simple, high-precision and wide-ranging sarcosine detection methods. In this work, a Ti 3 C 2 T X /Pt–Pd nanocomposite with high stability and excellent electrochemical performance has been synthesized by a facile one-step alcohol reduction and then used on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with sarcosine oxidase (SO x ) to form a sarcosine biosensor (GCE/Ti 3 C 2 T X /Pt–Pd/SO x ). The prominent electrocatalytic activity and biocompatibility of Ti 3 C 2 T X /Pt–Pd enable the SO x to be highly active and sensitive to sarcosine. Under the optimized conditions, the prepared biosensor has a wide linear detection range to sarcosine from 1 to 1000 µM with a low limit of detection of 0.16 µM (S/N = 3) and a sensitivity of 84.1 µA/mM cm 2 . Besides, the reliable response in serum samples shows its potential in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. More importantly, the successful construction and application of the amperometric biosensor based on Ti 3 C 2 T X /Pt–Pd will provide a meaningful reference for detecting other cancer biomarkers.
