Hetero-epitaxially anchoring Au nanoparticles onto ZnO nanowires for CO oxidation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Supported Au nanoparticles (NPs) sinter easily. Anchoring Au NPs is of fundamental interest and practical importance. We stabilized Au NPs by growing them hetero-epitaxially into the facets of ZnO nanowires. The sintering of epitaxially anchored Au NPs was significantly reduced at high calcination temperatures and during CO oxidation.

Anchoring Au Nanoparticles onto ZnO Nanowires by Heteroepitaxy
Supported Au nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes < 5 nm have been proved to be highly active for many important catalytic reactions [1]. The development of thermally stable supported Au NP catalysts, however, is challenging. Unlike other noble metals, Au NPs or clusters sinter rapidly during catalytic reactions at elevated temperatures or even under long-term storage [2]. There are many approaches t...
متن کاملCO oxidation mechanism on CeO(2)-supported Au nanoparticles.
Density functional theory was used to study the CO oxidation catalytic activity of CeO(2)-supported Au nanoparticles (NPs). Experimental observations on CeO(2) show that the surface of CeO(2) is enriched with oxygen vacancies. We compare CO oxidation by a Au(13) NP supported on stoichiometric CeO(2) (Au(13)@CeO(2)-STO) and partially reduced CeO(2) with three vacancies (Au(13)@CeO(2)-3VAC). The ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Anchored Bimetallic Catalysts via Epitaxy
The development of thermodynamically stable supported bimetallic catalysts for high-temperature reaction is significant and highly desirable but remains a grand challenge. In this work, we report a novel approach that relies on the interaction of metal nanoparticles with the support material to form unique bimetallic nanoparticles, which epitaxially anchor onto the support surface. Such unique ...

متن کاملSolid Au nanoparticles as a catalyst for growing aligned ZnO nanowires: a new understanding of the vapour--liquid--solid process
X-ray diffraction techniques have been applied to characterize the Au-catalysed growth of aligned ZnO nanowire arrays on an AlGaN/AlN/Al2O3 substrate. The orientation relationships between the AlN layer, AlGaN layer, ZnO nanowires and Au particles were determined using x-ray texture analysis. Two orientations of the Au nanoparticles, related by a 30◦ rotation about the sample normal, were obser...
