CHARACTERIZATION OF Au-Rh AND Au-Mo BIMETALLIC NANOCLUSTERS ON TiO2(110): A COMPARATIVE STUDY
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold-rhodium and gold-molybdenum layers were prepared on a nearly stoichiometric titania and characterized by LEIS, XPS and STM. In the Au-Rh bimetallic system, Rh atoms impinged onto Au clusters pregrown on TiO2(110) became covered by gold atoms. In contrast, Mo caused the disruption of gold nanoparticles.

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...

This study reports a green approach to synthesis of monometallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) and bimetallic aurium@platinum nanoparticles (Au@Pt) using aqueous leaf extract of Carica papaya as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nature and morphology of as-synthesized PtNPs and bimetallic Au@Pt NPs were characterized using UV/vis spectroscopy (UV–vis), high resolution transmission electro...

On X-ray photoelectron spectra of the Au-Rh/TiO2 catalysts the position of Au4f peak was practically unaffected by the presence of rhodium, the peak position of Rh3d, however, shifted to lower binding energy with the increase of gold content of the catalysts. Rh enrichment in the outer layers of the bimetallic crystallites was experienced. The bands due to Au0-CO, Rh0-CO and (Rh0)2-CO were obse...
متن کاملBonding of gold nanoclusters to oxygen vacancies on rutile TiO2(110).
Through an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we show that bridging oxygen vacancies are the active nucleation sites for Au clusters on the rutile TiO2(110) surface. We find that a direct correlation exists between a decrease in density of vacancies and the amount of Au deposited. From the DFT calculations we find that the oxy...

Far-from-equilibrium shape and structure evolution during formation and post-assembly sintering of bimetallic nanoclusters is extremely sensitive to the periphery diffusion and intermixing kinetics. Precise characterization of the many distinct local-environment-dependent diffusion barriers is achieved for epitaxial nanoclusters using density functional theory to assess interaction energies bot...
