In situ coarsening study of inverse micelle-prepared Pt nanoparticles supported on γ-Al2O3: pretreatment and environmental effects
Jeronimo Matos,Luis K. Ono,Farzad Behafarid,Jason R. Croy,S. Mostafa,Andrew DeLaRiva,Abhaya K. Datye,Anatoly I. Frenkel,B. Roldan Cuenya +8 more
TL;DR: The study reveals the enhanced thermal stability of inverse micelle prepared Pt NPs and the importance of the sample pre-treatment and annealing environment in the minimization of undesired sintering processes affecting the catalytic performance of nanosized particles.
Correlating Catalytic Methanol Oxidation with the Structure and Oxidation State of Size-Selected Pt Nanoparticles
Lindsay R. Merte,Mahdi Ahmadi,Farzad Behafarid,Luis K. Ono,Estephania Lira,Jeronimo Matos,Long Li,Judith C. Yang,Beatriz Roldan Cuenya +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure and chemical state of size-selected platinum nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by micelle encapsulation and supported on γ-Al2O3 during the oxidation of methanol under oxygen-rich reaction conditions following both oxidative and reductive pretreatments.
Insight into the Effect of Long Range Interactions for the Adsorption of Benzene on Transition Metal (110) Surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of van der Waals (vdW) forces for many physical systems, including the adsorption of small organic molecules on metal surfaces, became possible thanks to the continuous improvements in vdW density functional theory.

Structural and electronic properties of micellar Au nanoparticles: size and ligand effects.
Farzad Behafarid,Jeronimo Matos,Sampyo Hong,Lihua Zhang,Talat S. Rahman,Beatriz Roldan Cuenya +5 more
TL;DR: A comparison of the experimental and theoretical results supports the conclusion that the P2VP ligands employed to stabilize the gold NPs do not lead to strong distortions in the average interatomic spacing, and the isolated ligand-protected experimental NPs are an ideal model system for the investigation of size-dependent physical and chemical properties of structurally well-defined nanomaterials.

Adsorption of thiophene on transition metal surfaces with the inclusion of van der Waals effects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used density functional theory with the inclusion of the van der Waals interaction to study the adsorption of thiophene, C4H4S, on Pt, Rh, Pd, Au, and Ag (100) surfaces.
