The Effect of PtRuIr Nanoparticle Crystallinity in Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation
Two structural forms of a ternary alloy PtRuIr/C catalyst, one amorphous and one highly crystalline, were synthesized and compared to determine the effect of their respective structures on their activity and stability as anodic catalysts in methanol oxidation. Characterization techniques included TEM, XRD, and EDX. Electrochemical analysis using a glassy carbon disk electrode for cyclic voltamm...
متن کاملEnhanced Surface-and-Interface Coupling in Pd-Nanoparticle-coated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Heterostructures: Strong Gas- and Photo-Induced Conductance Modulation
Pd nanoparticle (NP) coated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterointerface exhibits more notable conductance (G) change while varying the ambient gas (N2, H2/N2, and O2) and illuminating with UV light (wavelength: 365 nm) than a sample without the NPs. Simultaneous Kelvin probe force microscopy and transport measurements reveal close relationships between the surface work function (W) and G of the sam...
متن کاملCrystallinity Modulation of Layered Carbon Nitride for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities
As an emerging metal-free semiconductor, covalently bonded carbon nitride (CN) has attracted much attention in photocatalysis. However, drawbacks such as a high recombination rate of excited electrons and holes hinder its potential applications. Tailoring the crystallinity of semiconductors is an important way to suppress unwanted charge recombination, but has rarely been applied to CN so far. ...
متن کاملSurfactant-Coated Nanoparticle on a Stepped Surface
Metal and semiconductor particles of nanometer (nm) size feature a large surface-tovolume ratio and quantum-scale dimensions. Due to the distinct energetics of surfaces atoms and the unique energy-level structures, these nanoparticles possess extraordinary thermodynamic, chemical, electric, optical, and magnetic properties unlike those of isolated atoms and bulk systems. Equally importantly, th...
متن کاملNanoparticle interaction with model lung surfactant monolayers.
One of the most important functions of the lung surfactant monolayer is to form the first line of defence against inhaled aerosols such as nanoparticles (NPs), which remains largely unexplored. We report here, for the first time, the interaction of polyorganosiloxane NPs (AmorSil20: 22 nm in diameter) with lipid monolayers characteristic of alveolar surfactant. To enable a better understanding,...
