Au改性TiO2纳米复合物对人结肠癌细胞的光催化杀伤作用

提出了通过TiO₂表面修饰纳米Au的方法来提高纳米TiO₂光催化杀伤癌细胞的效率. 采用化学还原法合成了Au改性的TiO₂ (Au/TiO₂)纳米复合物, 并研究了不同掺杂量(1 wt%, 2 wt%, 4 wt%)的Au/TiO₂对人结肠癌LoVo细胞的光催化杀伤效应. 结果显示, Au的掺杂大大地提高了TiO₂纳米粒子光催化杀伤结肠癌LoVo细胞的效率, 而且Au掺杂量的高低影响Au/TiO₂光催化杀伤癌细胞的效率, 掺金量为2%的Au/TiO₂对结肠癌LoVo细胞具有最高的光催化杀伤效率. 在光强为1.8 mW/cm²的紫外灯(λ_max＝365 nm)下光照110 min, 50 μg/mL掺金量为2%的Au/TiO₂能够杀死所有的癌细胞, 而同样浓度的TiO₂只能杀死70%的癌细胞.     

铂修饰的稀土掺杂TiO2的光催化制氢活性

采用溶胶-凝胶浸渍法和光沉积法制备了系列Pt/RE/TiO₂纳米光催化剂, 通过XRD和电化学等手段进行了表征. 以甲醛为电子给体, 考察了光催化剂在紫外光照射下的制氢活性. 稀土掺杂提高了Pt/TiO₂光催化制氢活性, 其顺序分别为La/TiO₂＞Sm/TiO₂＞Eu/TiO₂＞Dy/TiO₂＞Er/TiO₂. 掺入稀土元素后, 阻止了TiO₂从锐钛矿晶型向金红石晶型的转变, 这是光催化剂活性提高的原因之一. 计算晶格畸变应力e数据表明, Ti^4＋可能反掺入了表面稀土氧化物的晶格中. 电化学实验表明稀土掺杂TiO₂的平带电位负移, 其原因可解释为晶格畸变促使费米能级升高, 导致催化剂导带的平带电位负移, 因此导带上被激发电子具有更强的还原能力, 从而有利于光催化制氢活性的提高.

荧光XAFS表征Pt/BaAl2O4-Al2O3催化剂中的微量铂物种

随着稀薄燃烧(lean-burn)发动机的推广使用和环保法规的日趋严格,消除稀燃尾气中的氮氧化物(N O x)已刻不容缓。N O x储存还原技术被认为是最具应用前景的方法之一[1,2]。目前,对Pt/BaA l2O4-A l2O3体系中N O x储存与还原机制的研究较多[1￣4],但对该体系中微量铂物种微观结构及其与性能的关系研究较少,这主要是由于Pt含量(0.1w t%￣0.5wt%)太低,分散度较高,使表征方法受到很大限制。本文采用共沉淀-浸渍法制得具有较高比表面积和热稳定性的N O x储存还原催化剂Pt/BaA l2O4-A l2O3,应用荧光X-射线吸收精细结构方法(Fluores-cence-…     

Photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous acetone using TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 catalysts

Metallic platinum was photodeposited on TiO₂ particles, and morphological characteristics of the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst were determined. The dispersion of metallic platinum was uniform and did not alter the morphology of the TiO₂ particles. However, absorbance of the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst for light with wavelength more than 400 nm was significantly improved by the addition of metallic platinum. Gaseous acetone was decomposed in an annular photoreactor coated with TiO₂ or Pt/TiO₂ catalysts using a UV or a fluorescent lamp as light source. The decomposition of acetone with the application of a UV lamp was obviously enhanced for experiments conducted with Pt/TiO₂ catalyst. Decomposition of acetone was promoted considerably with increasing oxygen concentration for experiments conducted with oxygen less than 50,000 ppmv, yet the decomposition of acetone was kept relatively constant for experiments conducted with oxygen above 50,000 ppmv. On the basis of the mass balance for carbon species, the amount of organic intermediates formed for experiments conducted under various conditions was found to be minimal. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study of the local structure of supported nanostructural platinum catalysts

The possibility of controlling the state of platinum deposited on the support surface via minor changes in the catalyst preparation procedure is demonstrated using a series of highly dispersed Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts with different particle size of the active component. Dispersity, local structure and electronic state of supported platinum were examined by a combination of high resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS/XANES). It was shown that various platinum species can be obtained on the surface of the support: bulk or surface Pt(II) or Pt(IV) oxides, mixed metal-oxide structures, bulk particles of metallic platinum, and two-dimensional surface Pt⁰ particles strongly interacting with the support.     

Dispersed platinum supported by hydrogen molybdenum bronze-modified carbon as electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation

A new electrocatalyst, Pt/H_xMoO₃-C, for methanol oxidation, was prepared by dispersing platinum nano-particles on Vulcan XC-72 modified by hydrogen molybdenum bronze (H_xMoO₃, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2). The modification of Vulcan XC-72 with H_xMoO₃ on was accomplished by reducing the adsorbed molybdic acid and the platinum nano-particles were dispersed on the modified carbon by reducing chloroplatinic acid, with formaldehyde as the reductant. The prepared Pt/H_xMoO₃-C was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersion spectrometer, cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and single-cell test, with a comparison of the electrocatalyst, carbon-supported platinum (Pt/C) prepared under the same condition but without the modification. The results obtained from XRD and SEM showed that the modification of Vulcan XC-72 with H_xMoO₃ reduced the platinum particle size and improved distribution uniformity of platinum on carbon. The results, obtained from CV, CA, and the single-cell test, showed that Pt/H_xMoO₃-C exhibited better electrocatalytic activity toward methanol oxidation than Pt/C.     

Influence of Perfluorinated End Groups on the SFRD of [Pt(cod)Me(CnF2n+1)] onto Porous Al2O3 in CO2 under Reductive Conditions

The optimized synthesis of a range of cyclooctadiene‐stabilized Pt complexes that contained different perfluoro‐alkane chains, [Pt(cod)Me(C_nF_2n+1)], is presented. These metal–organic compounds were employed in the so‐called supercritical fluid reactive deposition (SFRD) in CO₂ under reductive conditions to generate metallic nanoparticles on aluminum oxide as a porous support. Thus, Al₂O₃‐supported Pt nanoparticles with a narrow particle‐size distribution were obtained. At a reduction pressure of 15.5 MPa and a temperature of 353 K, particle diameters of d₅₀=2.3–2.8 nm were generated. Decreasing the pressure during the reduction reaction led to slightly larger particles whilst decreasing the amount of organometallic precursor in CO₂ yielded a decrease in the particle size from x₅₀=3.2 nm to 2.6 nm and a particle‐size distribution of 2.2 nm. Furthermore, substitution of the CH₃ end group by the C_nF_2n+1 end groups led to a significant drop in Pt loading of about 50 %. Within the series of perfluorinated end groups that were considered, the Pt complex that contained a branched perfluoro‐isopropyl group showed the most‐interesting results when compared to the control precursor, [Pt(cod)Me₂] ( 1 ).     

Highly Dispersed Platinum Nanoparticles on TiO2 Prepared by Using the Microwave‐Assisted Deposition Method: An Efficient Photocatalyst for the Formation of H2 and N2 from Aqueous NH3

A simple and practical technique to synthesize nanosized platinum particles loaded on TiO₂ (Pt–TiO₂) by using a microwave (Mw)‐assisted deposition method has been exploited in the development of a highly efficient photocatalyst for the formation of H₂ and N₂ gases from harmful nitrogen‐containing chemical wastes, for example, aqueous ammonia (NH₃). Upon Mw irradiation, a platinum precursor can be deposited quickly on the TiO₂ surface from an aqueous solution of platinum and subsequent reduction with H₂ affords the nanosized platinum metal particles with a narrow size distribution (Mw‐Pt–TiO₂). Characterization by CO adsorption, platinum L_III‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure analysis, and TEM analysis revealed that the size of the metal nanoparticles strongly depended on the preparation methods. Smaller platinum nanoparticles were obtained by the Mw heating method than those obtained by conventional preparation techniques, such as photoassisted deposition (PAD), impregnation (Imp), and equilibrium adsorption (EA) deposition by conventional convective heating. The H₂ and N₂ formation rates increased with increasing dispersity of platinum. Pt–TiO₂ prepared by the Mw heating method exhibited a specifically high H₂ formation activity in the photocatalytic decomposition of aqueous NH₃ in a nearly stoichiometric 3:1 (H₂/N₂) molar ratio under inert conditions. The present Mw heating method is applicable to a variety of anatase‐type TiO₂ species possessing different specific surface areas to provide small and highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution.     

Unique CO-tolerance of Pt–WOx materials

Well-defined tungsten-oxide-supported platinum nanoparticles (Pt/WO_x) were elaborated by impregnation-reduction of a platinum salt onto commercial monoclinic WO₃. Field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the Pt particles are well-distributed on the oxide support, present a narrow particle size distribution centered on ca. 2–3 nm and a low degree of agglomeration. Carbon black was added to ensure electronic percolation in the electrodes during the electrochemical measurements. CO_ads electrooxidation currents were monitored at potentials as low as 0.1 V vs. RHE on Pt/WO_x, demonstrating high CO-tolerance compared to carbon-supported Pt or PtRu catalysts.     

Preparation of Ba(Ti,Sn)O<Subscript>3</Subscript> thin films by PVP-assisted sol–gel method and their dielectric properties

Ba(Ti_1−x Sn _x )O₃ (x = 0.10 or 0.15) thin films were deposited on Si(100) and Pt(111)/TiO _x /SiO₂/Si(100) substrates via sol–gel spin-coating. Crack-free thin films could be obtained by single-step deposition, where the thickness was about 0.46 and 0.29 μm at 1000 and 2000 rpm, respectively. Circular delaminated parts 100 μm in diameter, however, tended to appear in thicker films deposited at 1000 rpm. On both kinds of substrates, the films were crystallized between 500 and 600 °C, where the perovskite phase emerged as the primary phase, and the formation of single-phase perovskite was basically achieved between 700–800 °C. The films deposited on Pt(111)/TiO _x /SiO₂/Si(100) substrates, however, tended to have small SnO₂ and BaCO₃ diffraction peaks, which decreased with increasing spinning rate. The dielectric properties were evaluated on the films deposited on Pt(111)/TiO _x /SiO₂/Si(100) substrates at 2000 rpm. The films prepared by single-step depositions had dielectric constants of 350 and 230, and dielectric loss of 0.30 and 0.10 at x = 0.1 and 0.15, respectively. The films prepared by two time deposition had dielectric constants of 450 and 250, and dielectric loss of 0.21 and 0.19 at x = 0.10 and 0.15, respectively.     

Platinum nanoparticle size effect on specific catalytic activity in <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-alkane deep oxidation: Dependence on the chain length of the paraffin

The specific activity of 0.8% Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts in the deep oxidation of C₁–C₆ n-alkanes increases with an increase in the Pt particle size from 1 to 3–4 nm. Further coarsening of the particles insignificantly changes the specific activity. The size effect was studied for a series of catalysts containing platinum nanoparticles 1 to 11 nm in diameter. The specific catalytic activity variation range depends on the size of the reacting hydrocarbon molecules. As the platinum particle size increases, the specific catalytic activity increases 3–4 times for the oxidation of CH₄ and C₂H₆ and by a factor of 20–30 for the oxidation of n-C₄H₁₀ and n-C₆H₁₄.     

Methyl orange degradation enhanced by hydrogen spillover onto platinum nanocatalyst surface

Following a thermal reduction method, platinum nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone. The colloidal platinum nanoparticles were stable for more than 3 months. The micrograph analysis unveiled that the colloidal platinum nanoparticles were well dispersed with an average size of 2.53 nm. The sol–gel‐based inverse micelle strategy was applied to synthesize mesoporous iron oxide material. The colloidal platinum nanoparticles were deposited on mesoporous iron oxide through the capillary inclusion method. The small‐angle X‐ray scattering analysis indicated that the dimension of platinum nanoparticles deposited on mesoporous iron oxide (Pt‐Fe₂O₃) was 2.64 nm. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data showed that the binding energy on Pt‐Fe₂O₃ surface decreased owing to mesoporous support–nanoparticle interaction. Both colloidal and deposited platinum nanocatalysts improved the degradation of methyl orange under reduction conditions. The activation energy on the deposited platinum nanocatalyst interface (2.66 kJ mol^?1) was significantly lowered compared with the one on the colloidal platinum nanocatalyst interface (40.63 ± 0.53 kJ mol^?1).
