Atomic-Scale Observation of Migration and Coalescence of Au Nanoclusters on YSZ Surface by Aberration-Corrected STEM
Unraveling structural dynamics of noble metal nanoclusters on oxide supports is critical to understanding reaction process and origin of catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we show that aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy can provide direct atomic-resolution imaging of surface migration, coalescence, and atomic rearrangement of Au clusters on an Y:ZrO...
متن کاملAtomic Insights into the Melting Behavior of Metallic Nano-catalysts
In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations have been utilized to provide fundamental understanding of melting behavior of pure Pd and Pt nanoparticles with the size of 10 nm in diameter, both free and graphene-supported during continuous heating. The embedded atom method is employed to model the metal-metal interactions, whereas a Lennard-Jones potential is applied to describe the met...
متن کاملEnergy study at different solvents for potassium Channel Protein by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations
Potassium Channels allow potassium flux and are essential for the generation of electric current acrossexcitable membranes. Potassium Channels are also the targets of various intracellular controlmechanisms; such that the suboptimal regulation of channel function might be related to pathologicalconditions. Realistic studies of ion current in biologic channels present a major challenge for compu...
متن کاملReflections on the value of electron microscopy in the study of heterogeneous catalysts.
Electron microscopy (EM) is arguably the single most powerful method of characterizing heterogeneous catalysts. Irrespective of whether they are bulk and multiphasic, or monophasic and monocrystalline, or nanocluster and even single-atom and on a support, their structures in atomic detail can be visualized in two or three dimensions, thanks to high-resolution instruments, with sub-Ångstrom spat...
متن کاملQuantitative Z-contrast Imaging in Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy of Zeolite-supported Metal Clusters and Single-metal-atom Complexes With Single-Atom Sensitivity
Supported metal catalysts, in particular noble metals supported on zeolites and oxides, are widely applied in large-scale processes, such as petroleum refining, petrochemical conversion, and automobile exhaust conversion. A crucial challenge in studying these catalysts lies in their complex nature, including non-uniform supports, variable sizes, shapes, and distributions of metal species and mu...
