Creating single-atom Pt-ceria catalysts by surface step decoration
Single-atom catalysts maximize the utilization of supported precious metals by exposing every single metal atom to reactants. To avoid sintering and deactivation at realistic reaction conditions, single metal atoms are stabilized by specific adsorption sites on catalyst substrates. Here we show by combining photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory...
متن کاملOptical Properties of ZnO Nanowires and Nanorods Synthesized by Two Step Oxidation Process
ZnO nanowires with a diameter of 70 nm and nanorods with a diameter in the range of 100-150 nm and two micrometer in length were grown on glass substrates by resistive evaporation method and applying a two step oxidation process at low temperatures, without using any catalyst, template or buffer layer. XRD pattern of these nanostructures indicated a good crystallinity property with wurtzite hex...
متن کاملEffective control of photoluminescence from ZnO nanowires by a-SiNx:H decoration.
The a-SiNx:H with a large bandgap of 3.8 eV was utilized to decorate ZnO nanowires. The UV emission from the a-SiNx:H-decorated ZnO nanowires are greatly enhanced compared with the undecorated ZnO nanowire. The deep-level defect emission has been completely suppressed even though the sample was annealed at temperatures up to 400 °C. The incorporation of H and N is suggested to passivate the def...
متن کاملPlasma-Assisted Growth of Silicon Nanowires by Sn Catalyst: Step-by-Step Observation
A comprehensive study of the silicon nanowire growth process has been carried out. Silicon nanowires were grown by plasma-assisted-vapor-solid method using tin as a catalyst. We have focused on the evolution of the silicon nanowire density, morphology, and crystallinity. For the first time, the initial growth stage, which determines the nanowire (NW) density and growth direction, has been obser...
متن کاملFirst-principles statistical mechanics approach to step decoration at surfaces
Using a first-principles parameterized lattice-gas Hamiltonian we study the adsorbate ordering behavior at atomic steps of a Pd(100) surface exposed to an oxygen environment. We identify a wide range of gas-phase conditions comprising near atmospheric pressures and elevated temperatures around 900 K, in which the step is decorated by a characteristic O zigzag arrangement. For catalytic processe...
