Post-synthesis dispersion of metal nanoparticles by poly(amidoamine) dendrimers: size-selective inclusion, water solubilization, and improved catalytic performance.

چکیده
Intermetallic Pt(3)Ti nanoparticles are solubilized in water by using a generation-five, hydroxyl-terminated, poly(amidoamine) dendrimer, G5OH, as a post-synthesis surfactant. Pt(3)Ti nanoparticles, encapsulated in G5OH and dispersed over the electrode surface, exhibited a superior catalytic activity toward the electro-reduction reaction of oxygen compared to as-prepared, highly agglomerated nanoparticles.

Studying the Corrosion Protection Behavior of an Epoxy Composite Coating Reinforced with Functionalized Graphene Oxide by Second and Fourth Generations of Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimers (GO-PAMAM-2, 4)
In this research, graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles were modified by second and fourth generations of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers in order to improve the particle dispersion quality in the epoxy matrix and therefore its barrier anti-corrosion performance. Confirmation on the GO surface modification by Polyamidoamine generation 2 (PAMAM2) and polyamidoamin generation 4 (PAMAM4) was carried o...
متن کاملSize-selective catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticles encapsulated within end-group functionalized dendrimers.
The synthesis and size-selective catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticles encapsulated within dendrimers functionalized with different-sized end groups is described. We designed and synthesized a series of fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers having various extents of steric crowding on their periphery. This was accomplished by reacting the terminal amine groups of these dendrimers with ...
متن کاملAir and water free solid-phase synthesis of thiol stabilized au nanoparticles with anchored, recyclable dendrimer templates.
Solid-phase synthetic templates for Au nanoparticles were developed using Merrifield resins and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. This synthetic scheme affords the opportunity to prepare metal nanoparticles in the absence of air and water, and it does not necessitate phase transfer agents that can be difficult to remove in subsequent steps. Amine-terminated generation 5 PAMAM (G5NH2) dendrimer...

Introduction The desire to controllably tune catalyst properties has generated increased interest in the controlled preparation of supported nanoparticle catalysts. Particle size, composition, and morphology may have substantial influences on catalytic activity and, more importantly, selectivity. However, few preparative routes exist to prepare supported catalysts of welldefined morphologies. S...
