Cobalt core/platinum shell nanoparticles were prepared by the electroless deposition (ED) of Pt on carbon-supported cobalt catalyst (Co/C) and verified HRTEM images. For a 2.0 wt % Co/C core, ED technique permitted loading to be adjusted obtain series bimetallic compositions with varying numbers monolayers (ML). The tendency for corrosion Co electrochemical (i.e., oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)) activity structures measured. results from temperature-programmed (TPR) analysis suggest that...
A series of bimetallic Pd–Ag/SiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts with Ag enriched on the surface were prepared by galvanic displacement. The effect for these acetylene hydrogenation was discussed.
Two series of Pt@Ru/C and Ru@Pt/C bimetallic catalysts have been prepared by an electroless deposition (ED) method. For compositions, a new ED bath was developed using Ru(NH3)6Cl3 as the Ru precursor HCOOH reducing agent. preparations, standard H2PtCl6 DMAB Pt agent, respectively, employed. The characterized temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), selective chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with energy dispersive (XEDS)....
The effects of liquid water and 1,4-dioxane on the hydrodeoxygenation propionic acid over Pd(211) model surfaces have been studied from first principles. A microkinetic with parameters obtained density functional theory implicit solvation models was developed to study these solvents reaction mechanism kinetic parameters. In presence water, dehydrogenated derivatives propionate are stabilized, a new decarboxylation involving CH3CCOOH surface species is facilitated, leading higher rate....

Aqueous phase hydrogenation of succinic acid was investigated using a series Ir–Re/C bimetallic catalysts prepared by strong electrostatic adsorption. Activity measurements show remarkable synergistic effects, forming volcano-shaped plot over range bulk Re mole fractions with peak at fraction 0.4–0.5, which corresponds to 20-fold enhancement activity either monometallic catalyst. This intermediate catalyst composition exhibiting optimum strongly suggests bifunctional effect. Through...
We report the first study of a gas-phase reaction catalyzed by highly dispersed sites at metal nodes crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF). Specifically, CuRhBTC (BTC3- =benzenetricarboxylate) exhibited hydrogenation activity, while other isostructural monometallic and bimetallic MOFs did not. Our multi-technique characterization identifies oxidation state Rh in as +2, which is that has not previously been observed for MOF nodes. These Rh2+ are active catalytic propylene to propane room...
