Water shifts PdO-catalyzed lean methane combustion to Pt-catalyzed rich combustion in Pd-Pt catalysts: In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2017)
The addition of platinum to palladium is known to provide bimetallic catalysts that are relatively active in lean methane combustion in the presence of water at temperatures below 773 K, which is of practical interest for ...
in situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Analysis of Gold-Palladium Bimetallic Nanoparticle Catalysts
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
Gold–palladium core–shell nanoparticles have been previously shown to be extremely effective catalysts for a number of oxidation reactions including the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. However, the novel activity and ...
Synthesis of Sinter-Resistant Au@Silica Catalysts Derived from Au25 Clusters
(2017)
Gold clusters exhibit remarkable catalytic activity for many reactions such as carbon monoxide oxidation, alcohol, alkene, and hydrocarbon oxidations, and reduction reactions at low temperatures. However, several previous ...
Rational Design and Characterization of Bimetallic Gold-Palladium Nanoparticle Catalysts
(Wiley, 2015)
This feature article covers a long‐term project in our laboratory at the University of Saskatchewan towards the rational synthesis of controlled‐architectures of gold‐palladium bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts for use as ...
In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies of magnetic Fe@FexOy/Pd nanoparticle catalysts for hydrogenation reactions
(Elsevier, 2017)
Core@shell Fe@FexOy nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted a great deal of interest as potential magnetic supports for catalytic metals via galvanic exchange reactions. In this study Fe@FexOy/Pd bimetallic NPs were synthesized ...
Improving the Rates of Pd-Catalyzed Reactions by Exciting the Surface Plasmons of AuPd Bimetallic Nanotriangles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Gold nanoparticles exhibit unique optical properties due to surface plasmon oscillations when they interact with light. By utilizing their optical properties, the rates of many chemical reactions have been improved in the ...
Platinum Inhibits Low‐Temperature Dry Lean Methane Combustion through Palladium Reduction in Pd−Pt/Al2O3: An In Situ X‐ray Absorption Study
(Wiley, 2017)
Palladium–platinum bimetallic catalysts supported on alumina with palladium/platinum molar ratios ranging from 0.25 to 4 are studied in dry lean methane combustion in the temperature range of 200 to 500 °C. Platinum addition ...
Supported Bimetallic AuPd Clusters Using Activated Au25 Clusters
(Elsevier, 2017)
Bimetallic AuPd nanoparticles on alumina supports were prepared using Au25(SR)18 precursors activated by mild calcination or LiBH4 treatment, followed by selective deposition of Pd via ascorbic acid reduction. Comparison ...
