In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

Developing the large-scale preparation of non-noble metal catalysts with high performance is crucial for promoting electrochemical production hydrogen from water. In this work, a novel TiO2@FeNi2S4 (TiO2@FNS) branch nanoflake array on Ni foam can be prepared at large scale (50 cm2) by combining an atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) TiO2 skeleton one-step facile low-temperature (<100 °C) sulfurizat...

A strategy for the preparation of bimetallic mesoflowers (MFs) has been demonstrated by a simple overgrowth reaction. We make hybrid MFs containing Au core and shells of different metals, such as Ag and Pt, by tuning the experimental conditions so as to study region-specific overgrowth. This selective growth is attributed to the specific binding affinity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)...

A new synthetic strategy has been developed for the fabrication of Au-Ag bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) using polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) as unique nanoreactors. Bimetallic NPs composed of Au core and Ag shell were successively incorporated into PEMs by repeating anion/cation exchange/reduction cycle multiple times in a stepwise manner. The strategy described here allows for t...

Monometallic Pd and Ni bimetallic Pd–Ni catalysts supported on CeO2 are prepared via mechanochemical conventional incipient wetness impregnation methods tested for the production of syngas by partial oxidation methane. Compared with monometallic Ni/CeO2 Pd/CeO2, Pd–Ni/CeO2 show considerable higher methane conversion yield. Additionally, ball milling produce at lower temperature. Different prepa...

A series of monometallic Ru, Pd, and bimetallic Ru–Pd catalysts loaded on CeO2 support have been prepared via mechanochemical conventional incipient wetness impregnation methods used in the partial oxidation methane (POM) to obtain synthesis gas (H2 CO). The influence preparation method, order addition metals, Ru:Pd metal ratio, milling energy time for samples by evaluated between 300 600 °C. r...

The effect of copper on various acid saponite supported Ni–Cu bimetallic catalysts, prepared with different Ni : Cu ratios, has been investigated for the liquid phase hydrogenolysis glycidol.

Despite recent progress in developing active and durable oxygen reduction catalysts with reduced Pt content, lack of elegant bottom-up synthesis procedures with knowledge over the control of atomic arrangement and morphology of the Pt-alloy catalysts still hinders fuel cell commercialization. To follow a less empirical synthesis path for improved Pt-based catalysts, it is essential to correlate...

This study investigates the effect of Pt/Pd ratio on oxidation activity and sulfur poisoning/regeneration diesel catalysts (DOC) using beta zeolites with high siliceous content as support. Formation Pt-Pd alloy leads to contraction cell lattice Pt in bimetallic catalysts, improving not only sintering resistance but also retaining a fraction Pd Pd2+ form. Moreover, improves particles, which enha...
