Controlling the Active Sites of Sulfur-Doped Carbon Nanotube-Graphene Nanolobes for Highly Efficient Oxygen Evolution and Reduction Catalysis

Journal Article El-Sawy, Abdelhamid M. ; Mosa, Islam M. ; Su, Dong ; ... - Advanced Energy Materials

Controlling active sites of metal-free catalysts is an important strategy to enhance activity of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). We made many attempts have been made to develop metal-free catalysts, but the lack of understanding of active-sites at the atomic-level has slowed the design of highly active and stable metal-free catalysts. We also developed a sequential two-step strategy to dope sulfur into carbon nanotube–graphene nanolobes. This bidoping strategy introduces stable sulfur–carbon active-sites. Fluorescence emission of the sulfur K-edge by X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and scanning transmission electron microscopy electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) mapping and spectra confirm thatmore »« less

One-Pot Synthesis of Urchin-like FePd–Fe ₃ O ₄ and Their Conversion into Exchange-Coupled L1 ₀ –FePd–Fe Nanocomposite Magnets

Journal Article Yu, Yongsheng ; Sun, Kewei ; Tian, Yuan ; ... - Nano Letters

We report a one-pot synthesis of urchin-like FePd-Fe3O4 nanocomposites, spherical clusters of FePd nanoparticles (NPs) with spikes of Fe3O4 nanorods (NRs), via controlled thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5 and reduction of Pd(acac)2. The FePd NPs with sizes between 6 and 9 nm self-aggregate into 60 nm superparticles (SPs), and Fe3O4 NRs grow on the surface of these SPs. Reductive annealing at 500 °C converts the FePd-Fe3O4 into exchange-coupled nanocomposites L1(0)-FePd-Fe with their Hc tunable from 0.8 to 2.6 kOe and Ms controlled from 90 to 190 emu/g. The work provides a general approach to L1(0)-FePd-Fe nanocomposite magnets for understanding exchange couplingmore »« less

A novel, mesoporous molybdenum doped titanium dioxide/reduced graphene oxide composite as a green, highly efficient solid acid catalyst for acetalization

Journal Article Thalgaspitiya, Wimalika R. K. ; Kankanam Kapuge, Tharindu ; He, Junkai ; ... - Dalton Transactions

A novel, mesoporous composite of Mo doped TiO₂/reduced graphene oxide is synthesized to be used as a highly efficient heterogeneous acid catalyst. The composite has a high surface area (263 m² g^-1) and a monomodal pore size distribution with an average pore diameter of 3.4 nm. A comprehensive characterization of the synthesized material was done using PXRD, Raman, BET, SEM, EDX, TEM, TGA, and XPS. The composite exhibited excellent catalytic activity (1.6 h^-1 TOF, >99% GC yield, and >99% selectivity) towards acetalization of cyclohexanone at room tempertaure within 30 minutes. The catalyst was reusable up to 4 reaction cycles withoutmore »« less

Graphene Supported Single Atom Transition Metal Catalysts for Methane Activation

Journal Article Sahoo, Sanjubala ; Suib, Steven L. ; Alpay, S. Pamir - ChemCatChem

Abstract Single‐atom catalysis is a relatively new concept to enhance catalytic activity of transition metal atoms through proper choice of support. The interest in such systems is due to the fact that both the quantum size effect and support‐catalyst interactions may lead to unique electronic structures that may enhance catalytic properties. This allows for the design of materials systems at the atomic scale, tailored for specific reactions. Utilizing this concept, we investigated theoretically free and graphene supported single transition metal (TM) Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Cu atoms for activation of methane and identified catalytically active centers through C−H bondmore »« less
