Abstract Metal nanoparticle (NP), cluster and isolated metal atom (or single atom, SA) exhibit different catalytic performance in heterogeneous catalysis originating from their distinct nanostructures. To maximize efficiency boost activity for catalysis, the construction of structure–performance relationship provides an effective way at atomic level. Here, we successfully fabricate fully exposed Pt 3 clusters on defective nanodiamond@graphene (ND@G) by assistance atomically dispersed Sn...

Alkanes are the foremost basic energy sources and represent an important chemical material for industrial applications. Highly efficient activation of C–H bonds can convert abundant alkanes into value-added products, such as alkenes their corresponding polymers. Therefore, bond has attracted widespread attention in heterogeneous catalysis. Fully exposed cluster catalysts (FECCs), a bridge linking metal single atoms (SAs) nanoparticles (NPs), have been widely studied many catalytic reactions,...

Abstract For di-nitroaromatics hydrogenation, it is a challenge to achieve the multi-step hydrogenation with high activity and selectivity due complexity of process involving two nitro groups. Consequently, many precious metal catalysts suffer from low for this reaction. Herein, we employ fully exposed Pt clusters catalyst consisting an average four atoms on nanodiamond@graphene (Pt n /ND@G), demonstrating excellent catalytic performance 2,4-dinitrotoluene. The TOF (40647 h −1 ) /ND@G...

A popular principle in designing chemical micromachines is to take advantage of asymmetric reactions such as the catalytic decomposition H2O2. Contrary intuition, we use Janus micromotors half-coated with platinum (Pt) or catalase an example show that this ingredient not sufficient powering a micromotor into self-propulsion. In particular, by annealing thin Pt film on SiO2 microsphere, resulting microsphere half-decorated discrete nanoparticles swims ∼80% more slowly than its unannealed...
