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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
