Photoluminescent AuCu bimetallic nanoclusters as pH sensors and catalysts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A facile and one-pot approach to the preparation of gold (Au) and copper (Cu) bimetallic nanoclusters (NCs) is unveiled. AuCu NCs reveal features of orange photoluminescence (PL), reversible pH-dependent PL properties, and efficient catalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue (MB).

Core/shell-structured bimetallic nanocluster catalysts for visible-light-induced electron transfer*
It has been found that the bimetallic nanoclusters often have so-called core/shell structure if they are prepared by alcohol-reduction of two kinds of noble metal ions in the presence of a water-soluble polymer like poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrolidone)(PVP), and that the core/ shell structured bimetallic nanoclusters have much higher catalytic activity than the corresponding monometallic nanoclusters. He...
متن کاملMonodisperse AuCuSn trimetallic nanocube catalysts.
Monodisperse trimetallic AuCuSn nanocubes are reported where Sn and Cu are inserted into the crystal lattice following co-precipitation protocols along with Au. These trimetallics are explored further towards catalytic hydrazine electrooxidation and their enhanced catalytic activity compared with their bimetallic counterpart AuCu is reported.
متن کاملPreparation and Catalytic Activity for Aerobic Glucose Oxidation of Crown Jewel Structured Pt/Au Bimetallic Nanoclusters
Understanding of the "structure-activity" relations for catalysts at an atomic level has been regarded as one of the most important objectives in catalysis studies. Bimetallic nanoclusters (NCs) in its many types, such as core/shell, random alloy, cluster-in-cluster, bi-hemisphere, and crown jewel (one kind of atom locating at the top position of another kind of NC), attract significant attenti...
متن کاملSynthesis, characterization, and growth simulations of Cu–Pt bimetallic nanoclusters
Highly monodispersed Cu-Pt bimetallic nanoclusters were synthesized by a facile synthesis approach. Analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spherical aberration (C s)-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images shows that the average diameter of the Cu-Pt nanoclusters is 3.0 ± 1.0 nm. The high angle annular dark field (HAADF-STEM) images, intensity profiles,...
