Title: Towards ALD thin film stabilized single-atom Pd ₁ catalysts

Abstract

Supported precious metal single-atom catalysts have shown interesting activity and selectivity in recent studies. However, agglomeration of these highly mobile mononuclear surface species can eliminate their unique catalytic properties. Here we study a strategy for synthesizing thin film stabilized single-atom Pd₁ catalysts using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The thermal stability of the Pd₁ catalysts is significantly enhanced by creating a nanocavity thin film structure. In situ infrared spectroscopy and Pd K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) revealed that the Pd₁ was anchored on the surface through chlorine sites. The thin film stabilized Pd₁ catalysts were thermally stable under both oxidation and reduction conditions. The catalytic performance in the methanol decomposition reaction is found to depend on the thickness of protecting layers. While Pd₁ catalysts showed promising activity at low temperature in a methanol decomposition reaction, 14 cycle TiO₂ protected Pd₁ was less active at high temperature. Pd L₃ edge XAS indicated that the low reactivity compared with Pd nanoparticles is due to the strong adsorption of carbon monoxide even at 250 °C. Furthermore, these results clearly show that the ALD nanocavities provide a basis for future design of single-atom catalysts that are highly efficient and stable.

Palladium catalysts synthesized by atomic layer deposition for methanol decomposition.

Journal Article Elam, J W ; Feng, H ; Stair, P C ; ... - Chem. Mater.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) palladium films were deposited at 200 C on various ALD metal oxide surfaces using sequential exposures to Pd(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Pd(hfac)2) and formalin. In situ quartz crystal microbalance measurements as well as ex situ measurements performed on planar substrates revealed that the Pd growth begins with a relatively slow nucleation process and accelerates once an adequate amount of Pd has deposited on the surface. Furthermore, the Pd nucleation is faster on ALD ZnO surfaces compared to ALD Al2O3 surfaces. ALD was utilized to synthesize highly dispersed, uniform Pd nanoparticles (1 to 2 nm in diameter) on ALDmore »« less

Cost-effective Stabilization of Nanostructured Cathodes by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) (Final Report)

Technical Report Gorte, Raymond J. ; Vohs, John M.

The overall objective of this project was to enhance the activity and stability of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) cathodes through the ALD addition of promoters. The specific goals were 1) to determine how SOFC cathode performance is altered via the Atomic Layer Deposition of thin films of oxide promoters; 2) to determine the best oxide film compositions and thicknesses for optimal cathode performance; and 3) to determine the effects of adding catalytic promoters. Results demonstrated that the effects of the deposited films depended on both the cathode and ALD film composition. On cathodes prepared by infiltration of La_0.8Sr_0.2FeO₃ (LSF)more »« less

Applications of ALD MnO to electrochemical water splitting

Journal Article Pickrahn, Katie L. ; Gorlin, Yelena ; Seitz, Linsey C. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an attractive method to deposit uniform catalytic films onto high surface area electrodes. One interesting material for ALD synthesis is MnO_x, a promising earth-abundant catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It has previously been shown that catalysts beginning as MnO synthesized using ALD on smooth glassy carbon (s-GC) electrodes and Mn₂O₃ obtained upon annealing MnO on s-GC are active OER catalysts. Here, we use ALD to deposit MnO on high surface area GC (HSA-GC) substrates, forming an active catalyst on a geometric surface area basis. We then characterize three types of catalysts, HSA-GC MnO,more »« less

In this project, we have employed a systematic approach to develop active, selective, and stable catalyst materials for important electrochemical reactions involving energy conversion. In particular, we have focused our attention on developing active catalyst materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). HER: We have synthesized and investigated several highly active and acid stable non-precious metal HER catalysts, including: [Mo₃S₁₃]^2- nanoclusters (Nature Chemistry, 2014) and molybdenum phosphosulfide (MoP|S) (Angewandte Chemie, 2014).

Synthesis and Stabilization of Supported Metal Catalysts by Atomic Layer Deposition

Journal Article Lu, Junling ; Elam, Jeffrey W. ; Stair, Peter C. - Accounts of Chemical Research

Supported metal nanoparticles are among the most important cata-lysts for many practical reactions, including petroleum refining, automobile exhaust treatment, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. The catalytic performance strongly depends on the size, composition, and structure of the metal nanoparticles, as well as the underlying support. Scientists have used conventional synthesis methods including impregnation, ion exchange, and deposition–precipitation to control and tune these factors, to establish structure–performance relationships, and to develop better catalysts. Meanwhile, chemists have improved the stability of metal nanoparticles against sintering by the application of protective layers, such as polymers and oxides that encapsulate the metal particle.
