In situ growth of Au nanocrystals on graphene oxide sheets.
Au nanocrystals (AuNCs) with a size of 10-20 nm decorated on graphene oxide (GO) were fabricated successfully through a hydrothermal reduction and crystallization route without any extra reductants and capping agents. The hydrophobic areas of GO benefit the formation of nanocrystals (NCs) with {111} facets totally exposed; however, the hydrophilic areas are detrimental to the crystallization. T...
متن کاملAdsorption of alkali adatoms on graphene supported by the Au/Ni(111) surface
We study alkali-metal adsorption on supported graphene by means of density-functional-theory calculations that include dispersion corrections. Graphene supported by the Au/Ni(111) surface is an important system for fundamental studies because this surface allows one to support graphene, preserving the electronic properties of freestanding graphene. We investigate the binding energetics as well ...
متن کاملCO oxidation mechanism on CeO(2)-supported Au nanoparticles.
Density functional theory was used to study the CO oxidation catalytic activity of CeO(2)-supported Au nanoparticles (NPs). Experimental observations on CeO(2) show that the surface of CeO(2) is enriched with oxygen vacancies. We compare CO oxidation by a Au(13) NP supported on stoichiometric CeO(2) (Au(13)@CeO(2)-STO) and partially reduced CeO(2) with three vacancies (Au(13)@CeO(2)-3VAC). The ...
متن کاملGrowth and Deposition of Au Nanoclusters on Polymer-wrapped Graphene and Their Oxygen Reduction Activity.
The development of a non-Pt electrocatalyst with a high performance for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the central issues in polymer electrolyte fuel cells science. Au-nanoparticles (Au-NPs) with a diameter of <2 nm are one of the promising substitutes of Pt-NPs; however, it is still a challenge to synthesize such a small-sized Au-NPs with a narrow diameter distribution on a carb...
متن کاملCO oxidation on h-BN supported Au atom.
The mechanism of CO oxidation by O(2) on Au atoms supported on the pristine and defected hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) surface has been studied theoretically using density functional theory. It is found that O(2) binds stronger than CO on an Au atom supported on the defect free h-BN surface and h-BN surface with nitrogen vacancy (V(N)@h-BN), but weaker than CO on a free Au atom or Au trapped b...
