CoPt and FePt nanostructures have been efficiently confined in carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A marked confinement effect has been evidenced, both on bimetallic nano-object shape and composition. In large diameter CNTs small Co- and Fe-rich nanoparticles are formed, while in small diameter CNTs Pt-rich nanowires are selectively produced.

An easy-to-scale-up multiphase emulsion-assisted synthetic strategy based on a ternary metal precursor/surfactant/ethylene glycol system has been established to prepare monodispersed bimetallic nanoparticles with designated size and composition; the nanoparticles thus prepared are easily separable from the reaction mixture.

This work studies the influence of introducing a CO2 adsorbent in bimetallic catalytic fixed bed reactor. The catalyst is lab-made Fe-Ni allow (2.5:7.5 wt/wt) supported on gamma alumina. Two adsorbents were tested this study, lab made CaO and Na2O (10

The simultaneous sputter deposition of gold and silver onto ionic liquids formed bimetallic alloy nanoparticles, which exhibited composition-sensitive surface plasmon resonance, the peak wavelength being red-shifted with an increase in the surface area of the gold foil targets sputtered.

Utilization of active and stable catalyst could have enormous advantages in industrial application of biogas reforming. In order to achieve this goal, the effects of Cu and Co as promoters were investigated over physical-chemical properties of Ni/Al2O3-ZrO2 catalyst in reforming of biogas. The sequential impregnation was used for preparation of catalysts. The catalysts were characterized using ...

Triphenylphosphine stabilized Pd, Cu and PdCu nanocatalysts supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or phosphorus functionalised silica (P−SiO2) were prepared via a one-pot methodology. The series of P−SiO2 catalysts evidenced metal particle sizes metallic nanoparticles (M-NPs) between 1 2.4 nm, smaller than their equivalents CNTs (2.4–2.6 nm). Such difference in size as function the support compo...

Metallic catalysts are capable of designing multifunctional for efficient CO2−ODP reaction owing to their high abilities C−H scission, CO2 capture/activation, and coke removal. In this review, the catalyst design concepts metallic materials recent developments in summarized, categorizing them as monometallic, bimetallic multimetallic materials.

We report the combinatorial and high-throughput optimization of improved ternary Pt alloy electrocatalysts for the oxidation of methanol for use in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) anodes. Following up on the discovery of a ternary Pt20Co60Ru20 catalyst with significantly improved electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation over standard Pt-Ru catalysts, we optimize the electrocatalytic ac...

Due to the specific physical and chemical properties of a highly branched noble metal, the controllable synthesis has attracted much attention. This article reports the synthesis of Pd/Ru nanodendrites by a facile method using an oil bath in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, potassium bromide and ascorbic acid. The morphology, structure, and composition of the as-prepared catalysts were ch...
