Due to the protection of ionic liquid polymer thin film, the long-term operation stability of carbon nanotube-supported platinum nanoparticles for methanol electrooxidation has been improved.

Bimetallic platinum–ruthenium nanoparticles supported on N-doped graphene as chemoselective hydrogenation catalysts.

With an eye toward using surface morphology to enhance heterogeneous catalysis, Pt nanoparticles are grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the surfaces of SrTiO(3) nanocubes. The size, dispersion, and chemical state of the Pt nanoparticles are controlled by the number of ALD growth cycles. The SrTiO(3) nanocubes average 60 nm on a side with {001} faces. The Pt loading increases linearly wit...

In situ surface X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy at 1 bar show massive material transport of platinum during high-temperature NO reduction with H2. A Pt(110) single-crystal surface shows a wide variety of surface reconstructions and extensive faceting of the surface. Pt nanoparticles change their morphology depending on the gas composition: They are faceted in hydrogen-ric...

Metal—Polyaniline nanocomposites such as Platinum-Polyaniline nanocomposite is prepared by insitu oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of Pt+4 ions into Pt nanoparticles. Thepolymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of 1(2PtCN6 [Potassium Hexa CyanoPlatinate (IV)] as oxidizing agent. During the reaction aniline monomers undergo oxidation andform polyaniline (PANT) w...

Polymeric micelles and shell crosslinked knedel-like (SCK) nanoparticles were loaded with up to 48% (w/w) cisplatin. These spherical cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles displayed sustained platinum release over 5 days in PBS, enhanced stability over free cisplatin in aqueous milieu, and significant antitumor activity in vitro against two cancer cell lines.

This paper discusses the mechanisms of surface area loss of supported platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in lowtemperature fuel cells. It is argued that submonolayer dissolution of Pt nanoparticles governs the surface area loss at high voltages by increasing the loss of Pt from carbon and coarsening of Pt nanoparticles on carbon.

Because of its vast number of applications and high price many studies have been made on how to reduce the amount of platinum in catalysts. One method includes dispersing platinum nanoparticles in porous support materials. But electrically conductive carbon-based support materials-needed for fuel cell electrodes-permit nanoparticles to migrate and form larger clusters, leading to reduced cataly...

We report a facile strategy for the preparation of sub-5 nm gold/platinum (Au-Pt) nanoparticles which are thermally stabilized by a crosslinked polymer shell. Diblock copolymer (PS-b-PI-SH) ligands on the Au nanoparticles were used to crosslink the vinyl functionalities on PI via hydrosilylation with 1,1,3,3tetramethyldisiloxane in the presence of a platinum catalyst. The Pt catalyst was reduce...

Ultrasmall nanoparticles, with sizes in the 1-3 nm range, exhibit unique properties distinct from those of free molecules and larger-sized nanoparticles. Demonstrating that the hydrothermal method can serve as a facile method for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles, we successfully synthesized ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles with an average size of 2.45 nm, with the aid of poly(vinyl pyrrolidon...
