In this work, Pt-Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 composite nanofibers have been designed by using Pt@MIL-101(Cr) and electrospinning. The morphological and microstructural properties of these nanofibers were analyzed by various kinds of techniques. The FESEM and TEM results demonstrate that the size of Pt nanoparticles is ˜ 3 nm, which greatly improved the gas sensing properties of metal oxides. The gas-sensing properties of WO 3 , Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 and Pt-Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 composite nanofibers were tested. Compared with pristine WO 3 nanofibers, Pt-Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 composite nanofibers exhibit superior response toward xylene. At the optimal operating temperature of 325 °C, the response of Pt-Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 composite nanofibers to 10 ppm xylene is 74.3, the response time is 5 s and the detection limit is 0.5 ppm. The sensing mechanism of the ultrahigh gas sensing properties attributes to the Cr 2 O 3 -WO 3 heterojunction, the catalytic activity of Cr 2 O 3 , porous structure, the electronic and chemical sensitization of Pt nanoparticles.

Multimetallic nanomaterials have aroused special attention owing to the unique characteristics of chemical, optical and enhanced enzyme mimetic capabilities resulting from the synergistic effect of different metal elements. In this work, we present a facile, gentle, fast and one-pot method for preparing Cu/Au/Pt trimetallic nanoparticles (TNPs), which possess intrinsic and enhanced peroxidase-like activity as well as excellent stability, sustainable catalytic activity, and robustness to harsh environments. Kinetic analysis indicated that Cu/Au/Pt TNPs exhibited strong affinities with H2O2 and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as the substrates. To investigate the feasibility of Cu/Au/Pt TNPs-based strategy in biological analysis, H2O2 was chosen as a model analyte and a sensitive and specific detection for H2O2 was acquired with a detection limit of 17 nM. By coupling with glucose oxidase (GOD), this assay could also achieve a sensitive and selective detection of glucose with a detection limit of 33 μM, indicating the versatility of the method. In view of the potential combination with diverse enzyme-related reactions, the Cu/Au/Pt TNPs-based strategy is promising as a universal platform for biosensors.

In this paper, platinum nanoparticles were deposited on a carbon carrier with the partly graphitized carbon and the highly dispersive carbon-coated nickel particles. An efficient electron transfer structure can be fabricated by controlling the contents of the deposited platinum. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy images of Pt 2 /Ni@C N-doped sample prove the electron transfer channel from Pt (1 1 1) crystal planes to graphite (1 0 0) or Ni (1 1 1) crystal planes due to these linked together crystal planes. The Pt 3 /Ni@C N-doped with low Pt contents cannot form the electron transfer structure and the Pt 1 /Ni@C N-doped with high Pt contents show an obvious aggregation of Pt nanoparticles . The electrochemical tests of all the catalysts show that the Pt 2 /Ni@C N-doped sample presents the highest catalytic activity, the strongest CO tolerance and the best catalytic stability. The high performance is attributed to the efficient electronic transport structure of the Pt 2 /Ni@C N-doped sample and the synergistic effect between Pt and Ni nanoparticles. This paper provides a promising method for enhancing the conductivity of electrode material .

Pt-free counter electrode (CE) composed of La 2 MoO 6 (La 2 O 3 -MoO 3 ) was successfully synthesized by simple pyrolysis of lanthanum acetate (C 6 H 9 O 6 La· x H 2 O) and hexaammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O). Furthermore, three proportions composites catalysts of La 2 MoO 6 @MWCNTs based on La 2 MoO 6 and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared and characterized as Pt-free catalyst for CE in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The morphology and structure of La 2 MoO 6 @MWCNTs composites were determined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical performance of La 2 MoO 6 @MWCNTs composite catalysts for CEs was determined by photocurrent-voltage measurements, cyclic voltammetry , electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , and Tafel polarization. The power conversion efficiencies of 4.68%, 4.87% and 5.06% are obtained for La 2 MoO 6 :MWCNTs with the mass ratios of 5:1, 3:1 and 1:1 towards the reduction of I 3 – to I – under the same conditions, respectively, which are superior to those of MWCNTs (3.94%) and La 2 MoO 6 (1.71%) electrodes. The experimental results reveal that the presence of MWCNTs results in an augmented active catalytic surface area and enhanced charge transfer from CE to the electrolyte.

Designing metal–organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated hybrid catalysts is considered as an effective way to realize catalytic selectivity because of advantages related to the unique channels of MOF. Here, a sodium polystyrenesulfonate (PSS)-induced, microwave-assisted route was developed to controllably construct Pt/CeO2@MOF core@shell hybrids. Using PSS as a modifying agent and followed by microwave assistance, MOFs could be continuously grown in an oriented manner on Pt/CeO2 nanospheres. The obtained Pt-CeO2@UIO-66-NH2 exhibited high conversion (99.3%) with high selectivity (>99%) for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. It showed that the CeO2 would promote the catalytic activity, whereas the size confinement effect of the UIO-66-NH2 channels can enhance the catalytic selectivity. This work highlights a useful strategy toward the universal synthesis of highly active, stable, and selective catalysts for further utilization.

Developing robust catalysts is still challenging for further commercialization of low-temperature fuel cell technologies. In this study, we introduce platinum nanocatalyst loading on Ti0.7Ir0.3O2 to assemble a robust Pt/Ti0.7Ir0.3O2 catalyst toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in direct methanol fuel cell systems. These observational results demonstrated that the Pt/Ti0.7Ir0.3O2 catalyst is a promising anodic electrocatalyst due to the superior electrocatalytic activity and durability toward MOR, which was exhibited from the onset potential of ∼0.1 V and high current density of ∼21.69 mA/cm2 versus that of the state-of-the-art Pt/C (E-TEK) catalyst. We also demonstrated the electronic transfer from the Ti0.7Ir0.3O2 catalyst support to Pt NPs resulting in the modified surface electronic structure of Pt NPs, which could be the reason for the high activity and durability of the Pt/Ti0.7Ir0.3O2 catalyst. In addition, this approach could supply a promising potential catalyst for fuel cell technology and other applications such as solar cells, biosensors, and water splitting.

The catalytic decomposition of methane is a strategic process to produce COx-free hydrogen and carbon nanomaterials. In this work, for the first time, highly porous ceria was prepared by a urea-assisted solid state combustion method and used as a support for the preparation of a set of platinum-promoted nickel catalysts. The amount of Pt varied from 0.05% to 0.2% while retaining 20% nickel in the catalysts. The prepared catalysts were completely characterized for their structural, textural and redox properties, and their catalytic performance was tested for undiluted methane decomposition. A fine surface dispersion of nickel oxide over ceria was observed in the prepared catalysts. No peaks related to Pt were observed in the catalysts, indicating its good surface dispersion. An enhancement was observed in the properties of the Ni/CeO2 catalyst after the addition of Pt as a promoter. The crystallinity of NiO was not altered by the addition of Pt, whereas the specific surface area of the catalysts was increased with the incremental addition of Pt. Furthermore, the reduction temperature of nickel oxide was shifted to low temperature in the Pt-promoted catalysts due to the hydrogen spillover effect. The surface composition and chemical states of the Pt-promoted Ni/CeO2 catalysts were further studied using XPS. The Pt-promoted Ni/CeO2 catalysts exhibited high catalytic efficiency for methane decomposition due to their improved catalytic properties. The addition of Pt increased the hydrogen yield, and a significant increase in the hydrogen yield was observed for the incremental amount of Pt in the catalysts. Moreover, by increasing the reaction temperature from 650 °C to 750 °C, the hydrogen yield increased significantly. A maximum hydrogen yield of 65% was observed for the 0.2% Pt@Ni/CeO2 catalyst at 750 °C. The enhanced activity and stability of the catalysts were attributed to the synergistic effects of Ni and Pt due to their fine surface dispersion over ceria with a proper metal–support interaction. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with different diameters were deposited over the catalysts. The carbon nanotubes deposited over the Ni/CeO2 catalyst were found to be more homogeneous than the Pt-promoted catalysts. Moreover, a wide hollow channel was observed in the carbon nanotubes deposited over the Pt-promoted catalyst.

The aerobic oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes over noble metal catalysts is a critical reaction for the catalytic conversion of carbohydrates into value-added chemicals from biomass. However, to fully understand the reaction mechanism, in particular, the role of O2 and the generated active oxygen species in these reactions is still a challenging target. In the present work, the sub-10 nm Pt nanocrystals with cubic (Pt-NCs), octahedral (Pt-NOs), and spherical (Pt-NSs) morphologies were synthesized and used as catalysts in aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF). Through experimental and computational investigations, the facet-dependent O2 conversion pathway and catalytic oxidation performance were discussed. The molecular O2 tends to be dissociated to generate •OH on a Pt(100) surface but prefers to be reduced to •O2– on a Pt(111) surface. Moreover, Pt-NCs enclosed by the {100} facets exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared to Pt-NOs enclosed by the {111} facets and Pt-NSs, in particular, for the alcohol oxidation step. On the basis of the experimental data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, an active oxygen species promoted dehydrogenation mechanism for aerobic oxidation of HMF was proposed. The dehydrogenation of the alcohol group is more favorable on the Pt(100) surface with assistance of •OH, which is the dominant active oxygen species on the Pt(100) surface. We anticipate that this work would provide new insight into the role of active oxygen species in aerobic oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes over noble metal catalysts.

The photocatalytic mineralization efficiency of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is determined by adsorption of reactants, separation of charge carriers, and reaction activity of catalyst surface. Herein, we provide a strategy to synthesize a novel catalyst, namely, PhPt-Micro, which is characterized by high adsorption ability, charge separation efficiency, and surface reaction activity. Toluene was chosen as the model VOC. The effects of photochemical deposition of Pt on the physical properties of microporous amorphous TiO 2 (Micro) and toluene mineralization were studied using N 2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, GC-flame ionization detection, and surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) analyses. After photochemical treatment, the structure of Micro was optimized, and Pt nanoparticles were successfully deposited at the outlet of electrons on the catalyst surface. SPS result proved that the optimized structure enhanced the separation efficiency of charge carriers and the migration of photo-generated electrons to the PhPt-Micro surface. The quasi-equilibrium adsorption amount of toluene over PhPt-Micro was two times higher than that with commercial nano TiO 2 (P25). The micropores concentrated toluene on the catalyst surface and hindered intermediate desorption. The mineralization efficiency of toluene over PhPt-Micro was 2.4 and 5.9 times higher than those over Micro and P25, respectively.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported Pt catalysts were employed to study the influence of nitrogen- and oxygen-functionalized surface on catalytic performance in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. Nitrogen- and oxygen-functionalized CNTs were simply treated with the hydrothermal method using ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, respectively, and the metal catalyst was prepared using an impregnation-reduction-deposition method. Here, we studied and gave some insights into the influence of the functionalization on CNTs surface chemistry environment and Pt nanoparticles using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, and nitrogen sorption techniques. It was shown that the functionalization lead to the small size distribution of Pt particles and promoted the conversion from ca. 75% to ca. 95%. To obtain the high selectivity, transition metals, cobalt and nickel, were doped into the Pt catalyst and the 99.7% conversion with the 87.9% selectivity was achieved over the nitrogen-functionalized CNTs supported PtCo catalysts. The PtCo/N-CNTs remained high activity even at 40 °C and achieved 94.2% conversion and 90.3% selectivity.

Shape-controlled synthesis of bimetallic catalysts attracts increasing attention, because their catalytic performance is closely correlated with the size, shape and crystal structure. In this report, a rapid and simple route is developed for large-scale synthesis of Pt–Pd hollow nanospheres (Pt–Pd HNSs) supported on reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (RGOs) under mild conditions, while no surfactant , seed, or template is involved. The as-prepared nanocomposites display the improved electrocatalytic activity and better stability for methanol oxidation in alkaline media , compared with commercial Pt black and Pd black catalysts. This work may open a new route for construction of Pt-based bimetallic catalysts in fuel cells.

Porous hollow carbon spheres (PHCSs) are prepared through hydrothermal carbonization of alginic acid and subsequent chemical activation by KOH. The porosity of the alginic acid derived PHCSs can be finely modulated by varying activation temperature in the range of 600–900 °C. The PHCSs activated at 900 °C possess the largest specific surface area (2421 m 2 g −1 ), well-balanced micro- and mesoporosity, as well as high content of oxygen-containing functional groups. As the electrode material for supercapacitors , the PHCSs exhibit superior capacitive performance with specific capacitance of 314 F g −1 at current density of 1 A g −1 . Pt nanodendrites supported on the PHCSs are synthesized by polyol reduction method which exhibit high electrocatalytic activity towards methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Moreover, CO-poisoning tolerance of the Pt nanodendrites is greatly enhanced owing to the surface chemical property of the PHCSs support.
