Hot Hole Enhanced Synergistic Catalytic Oxidation on Pt‐Cu Alloy Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hot holes in Pt-Cu alloy clusters can act as catalyst to accelerate the intrinsic aerobic oxidation reactions. It is described that under visible light irradiation the synergistic alcohol catalytic oxidation on Pt-Cu alloy clusters (≈1.1 nm)/TiO2 nanobelts could be significant promoted by interband-excitation-generated long-lifetime hot holes in the clusters.

Bifunctional anode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
Using the binding energy of OH* and CO* on close-packed surfaces as reactivity descriptors, we screen bulk and surface alloy catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation activity. Using these two descriptors, we illustrate that a good methanol electro-oxidation catalyst must have three key properties: (1) the ability to activate methanol, (2) the ability to activate water, and (3) the ability to re...

The catalytic activity of alloy nanoparticles depends on the particle size and composition ratio of different metals. Alloy nanoparticles composed of Pd, Pt, and Au are widely used as catalysts for oxidation reactions. The catalytic activities of Pt and Au nanoparticles in oxidation reactions are known to increase as the particle size decreases and to increase on the metal-metal interface of al...
