Shape-dependent catalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles.
S. Mostafa,Farzad Behafarid,Jason R. Croy,Luis K. Ono,Long Li,Judith C. Yang,Anatoly I. Frenkel,Beatriz Roldan Cuenya +7 more
TL;DR: A correlation between the number of undercoordinated atoms at the nanoparticle surface and the onset temperature for 2-propanol oxidation was observed, demonstrating that catalytic properties can be controlled through shape-selective synthesis.
Solving the Structure of Size-Selected Pt Nanocatalysts Synthesized by Inverse Micelle Encapsulation
Beatriz Roldan Cuenya,Jason R. Croy,S. Mostafa,Farzad Behafarid,Long Li,Zhongfan Zhang,Judith C. Yang,Qi Wang,Anatoly I. Frenkel +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that this synthesis method leads to 3D NP shapes even for subnanometer clusters, in contrast to the raft-like structures obtained for the same systems via traditional deposition-precipitation methods.
Support Dependence of MeOH Decomposition Over Size-Selected Pt Nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, the decomposition of methanol over Pt nanoparticles supported on a series of oxide powders was investigated and found to be cationic and the most active for decomposition.
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.
Size Dependent Study of MeOH Decomposition Over Size-selected Pt Nanoparticles Synthesized via Micelle Encapsulation
TL;DR: In this article, the size-dependent decomposition of methanol (MeOH) over narrowly distributed Pt nanoparticles supported on nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 powder was investigated.
