Dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles: New synthetic and characterization methods and catalytic applications
In this article we describe the synthesis, characterization, and applications of dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs). These materials are synthesized using a template approach in which metal ions are extracted into the interior of dendrimers and then subsequently reduced chemically to yield nearly size-monodisperse particles having diameters in the 1–2 nm range. Monometallic, bimetallic...
متن کاملDendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticle precursors to supported platinum catalysts.
In this contribution, we report the successful preparation of supported metal catalysts using dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles as metal precursors. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were first used to template and stabilize Pt nanoparticles prepared in solution. These dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles were then deposited onto a commercial high surface area silica support and thermally...
متن کاملEfficient electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid using Au@Pt dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.
We report electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid using monometallic and bimetallic dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs). The results indicate that the Au147@Pt DENs exhibit better electrocatalytic activity and low CO formation. Theoretical calculations attribute the observed activity to the deformation of nanoparticle structure, slow dehydration of formic acid, and weak binding of CO ...
متن کاملTuning supported catalyst reactivity with dendrimer-templated Pt-Cu nanoparticles.
The effects of particle composition on heterogeneous catalysis were studied using dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) as precursors to supported Pt-Cu catalysts. Bimetallic Pt-Cu DENs with varying Pt/Cu ratios were prepared in an anaerobic aqueous solution and deposited onto a high-purity commercial alumina support. The dendrimer template was then thermally removed to yield supported na...
متن کاملDendrimer-encapsulated metal nanoparticles and their applications to catalysis
This account describes the synthesis, characterization, and applications to catalysis of dendrimer-encapsulated metal nanoparticles (DEMNs). These materials are synthesized by a template approach in which metal ions are sorbed into the interior of dendrimers and then subsequently chemically reduced to yield nearly size-monodisperse, zero-valent metal particles having dimensions of less than 4 n...
