The effects of interactions of Pt nanoparticles with hybrid supports on reactivity towards ethanol oxidation in alkaline solution are investigated. Studies involve catalysts with identical Pt nanoparticles on six hybrid ...

Transition metals supported on metal oxide surfaces have broad applications in heterogeneous catalysis, microelectronics, and gas detection. For many uses, it is critical to control the dispersion of the supported metals ...

In this work, the adsorption of Mn (M: Cu, Ag, Au; n=1-3) particles on the ≡Si-O· defect of a SiO2 surface is studied in the framework of density functional theory. A charge transfer from the metal particle to the support ...

In order to elucidate the influence of the crystal structure of zirconia on the properties of the metallic and acid function of Pt/SO42−-ZrO2, catalysts with different zirconia crystal phases were synthesized, fully ...

The synthesis and characterization methods of metal nanoparticles (NPs) have advanced greatly in the last few decades, allowing an increasing understanding of structure-property-performance relationships. However, the role ...
