Dual doping effects (site blockage and electronic promotion) imposed by adatoms on Pd nanocrystals for catalytic hydrogen production.

چکیده
Three distinctive doping effects to modify the electronic and geometric properties of Pd nanocrystals for HCOOH decomposition to H2/CO2 are presented: Bi atoms take preferable residence on higher index sites, which leads to a reduction in HCOOH dehydration; Te atoms dwell favourably on terrace sites, which reduces the rate of dehydrogenation; Ag atoms, without site specificity, induce strong electronic effects to promote the activity on the dwindling number of surface Pd sites at high coverage.

The electronic and diffusion properties of metal adatoms on graphene sheets: a first-principles study
We use first-principles calculations to investigate the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of metal adatoms on two typical graphene substrates (monolayer and bilayer). Firstly, we study the adsorption behaviors and the doping effects of metal atoms on pristine and defective bilayer graphene sheets (PBG and DBG). It is found that the metal doping in DBG sheets is more stable than that...
متن کاملPhotothermal Catalyst Engineering: Hydrogenation of Gaseous CO2 with High Activity and Tailored Selectivity
This study has designed and implemented a library of hetero-nanostructured catalysts, denoted as Pd@Nb2O5, comprised of size-controlled Pd nanocrystals interfaced with Nb2O5 nanorods. This study also demonstrates that the catalytic activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction to CO and CH4 products can be systematically tailored by varying the size of the Pd nanocrystals supported on the Nb2O5 nan...
متن کاملPd nanocrystals on WC as a synergistic electrocatalyst for hydrogen oxidation reactions.
Electrocatalysts for hydrogen oxidation reactions (HORs) are the key to renewable-energy technologies including fuel cells, hydrogen pumps, and water splitting. Despite the significant technological interest and tremendous efforts that have been made, development of hydrogen electrode catalysts with high activity at low cost remains a great challenge. Here, we report the preparation, characteri...
متن کاملInfluences of Co2+ & Er3+ Co-doping on the Structural and Physical Properties of ZnO Nanocrystals Synthesized by Hydrothermal Route
Co2+ & Er3+ co-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 180°C and pH= 12 for 48 h. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the Zn1-2xErxCoxO crystals (0.00<x≤0.035) are isostructural with ZnO. The cell parameters increase for Er3+ and Co2+ upon increasing the dopant content (x). SEM images show that doping of Er3+ and Co2+ into the sites of Zn2+ does not change the morpho...
