Toward tuning the surface functionalization of small ceria nanoparticles.
Understanding and controlling the performance of ceria nanoparticle (CNP) catalysts requires knowledge of the detailed structure and property of CNP surfaces and any attached functional groups. Here we report thermogravimetric analysis results showing that hydrothermally synthesized ∼30 nm CNPs are decorated with 12.9 hydroxyl groups per nm(2) of CNP surface. Quantum mechanical calculations of ...
متن کاملHigh resolution mapping of surface reduction in ceria nanoparticles.
Surface reduction of ceria nano octahedra with predominant {111} and {100} type surfaces is studied using a combination of aberration-corrected Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) at high energy resolution and atomic spatial resolution. The valency of cerium ions at the surface of the nanoparticles is mapped using the fine struc...
متن کاملSurface Structure and Reactivity of Rhodium Oxide
Rhodium metal catalysts are used in wide a range of applications, including automotive catalytic converters for NO reduction, N2O decomposition, and CO oxidation. 1 7 Theoretical and experimental studies have found that, under realistic environmental conditions, rhodium surfaces can oxidize, forming thin films or thicker bulk oxides. In the case of CO oxidation, it has been shown that the forma...
متن کاملDiethylene Glycol-Mediated Synthesis of Nano-Sized Ceria (CeO2 )Catalyst
Nano-crystalline particles of CeO2 have been synthesized by a low temperature chemical precipitation method. The precursor materials used in this research were Ce(NO3)3.6H2O, NaOH and diethylene glycol as surfactant. X-ray powder diffraction results showed that face centered cubic CeO2 nanoparticles with crystalline size in nanometer scale were formed. Scanning electron microscopy measurement s...
متن کاملComputational Investigation of Structure and Reactivity of Methyl Hydrazinecarbodithioate
In this study, we theoretically investigated Methyl hydrazinecarbodithioate by quantum chemical calculations for geometry optimization, vibration frequencies, and electronic structure parameters. The geometry optimization by DFT, ab initio MP2 method and the frequency calculation by DFT method was performed at the highest available Pople style 6-311G++(3df,3pd) basis set level. The semi-emp...
