Carbon monoxide in controlling the surface formation of Group VIII metal nanoparticles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Group VIII metal nanoparticles with variant morphologies were synthesized under a carbon monoxide atmosphere. The important roles of CO in determining the surface formation of growing particles were studied both by experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which suggest different growth mechanisms for these metals.

Coadsorption of Dioxygen and Carbon Monoxide on a Mg(100) Surface
The activation of carbon monoxide by oxygen on Mg(100) surface has been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Carbon monoxide is only weakly adsorbed (dispersion-type forces) on a magnesium surface. The XPS result has shown that the dissociation of carbon monoxide leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate species occurs through the participation of an oxyg...

Surface oxidized carbon vulcane XC-72 is prepared as catalyst support and platinumnanoparticles are chemically anchored onto the modified surface. The nanoparticles of Pt weresynthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 M buffer solution ofsodium citrate; the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation ofnanoparticles. The electro-oxidation of ...
متن کاملCatalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide by Cobalt Oxide Catalysts Supported on Oxidized-MWCNT
Cobalt oxide catalysts supported on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) for the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide were prepared by an impregnation-ultrasound method. These catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, TEM, XRD, Raman, and H2-TPR methods. The XRD and Raman results indicated that the phase of the synthesized cobalt...
متن کاملTwo distinctive energy migration pathways of monolayer molecules on metal nanoparticle surfaces
Energy migrations at metal nanomaterial surfaces are fundamentally important to heterogeneous reactions. Here we report two distinctive energy migration pathways of monolayer adsorbate molecules on differently sized metal nanoparticle surfaces investigated with ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy. On a 5 nm platinum particle, within a few picoseconds the vibrational energy of a carbon monoxide a...
