Electrochemical synthesis and electrocatalytic properties of Au@Pt dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoparticles comprised of an average of 147 atoms were synthesized and immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode. A one-atom-thick shell of Cu was added to the Au core by electrochemical underpotential deposition, and then this shell was replaced with Pt by galvanic exchange. The results indicate that this synthetic approach leads to well-defined core/shell nanoparticles <2 nm in diameter. The rates of oxygen reduction at the Au@Pt electrocatalysts were compared to Pt-only and Au-only, 147-atom dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.

Efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid using Au@Pt dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.
We report electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid using monometallic and bimetallic dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs). The results indicate that the Au147@Pt DENs exhibit better electrocatalytic activity and low CO formation. Theoretical calculations attribute the observed activity to the deformation of nanoparticle structure, slow dehydration of formic acid, and weak binding of CO ...
متن کاملAu@Pt dendrimer encapsulated nanoparticles as model electrocatalysts for comparison of experiment and theory†
In this paper we report the electrochemical synthesis of core@shell dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) consisting of cores containing 147 Au atoms (Au147) and Pt shells having!54 or !102 atoms (Au147@Ptn (n1⁄4 54 or 102)). The significance of this work arises from the correlation of the experimentally determined structural and electrocatalytic properties of these particles with density...

Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were prepared within fourth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes using an electrochemical coupling strategy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and electrochemical experiments confirmed that the Pt DENs were about 1.4 nm in diameter and that they remained ...

Platinum dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) containing an average of 55, 100, 147, 200, and 240 atoms were prepared within sixth-generation, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. These DENs were immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes, and the effect of particle size on the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was quantitatively evaluated using rotating disk volt...
