Pd修饰Cu电极的电化学CO2还原

利用微分电化学质谱和电化学原位衰减全反射红外光谱技术探究了Cu和CuPd催化剂上CO₂和CO的电化学还原行为. 红外光谱观察到了生成甲醇、甲烷与乙烯的CH_x中间物种. 在CuPd电极CO₂还原过程中，红外光谱的CO吸附峰起始电位比Cu正移大约300 mV，说明CuPd能够有效促进CO₂还原；CO饱和溶液中，Cu和CuPd电极CO起始吸附电位基本相同；两电极上CO谱带出现的电位与CO₃^2-的谱带降低的电位基本相同，说明CO的吸附需要CO₃^2-的脱附. 利用电化学在线质谱发现在CuPd电极上CO还原产生CH₄和CH₃OH的起始电位比Cu电极正移约200 mV. 推测催化活性的提升可能是由于Pd的引入改变了Cu的d能带，且Pd吸附更多的H，从而促进CO₂还原，使CO能够与H结合并被深度还原.

Pt单原子在低温CO氧化反应中具有很高的催化活性. 利用扫描隧道显微术与密度泛函理论，研究了Pt单原子在还原性TiO₂(110)表面的吸附行为及其与CO和O₂分子的相互作用. 研究发现在80 K低温下，TiO₂表面的氧空位缺陷是Pt单原子的最优吸附位. 将CO和O₂分子分别通入Pt单原子吸附后的TiO₂表面，研究相应的吸附构型. 实验表明在低覆盖度下，单个Pt原子会俘获一个CO分子，CO分子同时与表面次近邻的五配位Ti原子(Ti_5c)成键，进而形成非对称的Pt-CO 复合物构型. 将样品从80 K升温到100 K后，TiO₂表面的CO分子会迁移到Pt-CO处形成Pt-(CO)₂的复合结构. 对于O₂分子，单个Pt原子同样会吸附一个O₂分子，O₂分子也会与最近邻或次近邻的Ti_5c原子成键形成两种Pt-O₂构型. 这些结果在单分子尺度上揭示了CO和O₂与Pt单原子的相互作用，呈现了CO与O₂反应中的初始状态.     

使用金属掺杂SnO2(110)作为表面催化剂的电催化CO2还原反应：通过调控Sn:O原子比例来控制产物

电催化CO₂还原反应可以产生HCOOH和CO,目前该反应是将可再生电力转化为化学能存储在燃料中的最有前景的方法之一. SnO₂作为将CO₂转换为HCOOH和CO的良好催化剂,其反应发生的晶面可以是不同的. 其中(110)面的SnO₂非常稳定,易于合成. 通过改变SnO₂(110)的Sn:O原子比例,得到了两种典型的SnO₂薄膜：完全氧化型(符合化学计量)和部分还原型. 本文研究了不同金属(Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Ru、Rh、Pd、Ag、Os、Ir、Pt和Au)掺杂的SnO₂(110),发现在CO₂还原反应中这些材料的催化活性和选择性是不同的. 所有这些变化都可以通过调控(110)表面中Sn:O原子的比例来控制. 结果表明,化学计量型和部分还原型Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)对CO₂还原反应具有不同的选择性. 具体而言,化学计量型的Cu/Ag掺杂的SnO₂(110)倾向于产生CO(g),而部分还原型的表面倾向于产生HCOOH(g). 此外,本文还考虑了CO₂还原的竞争析氢反应. 其中Ru、Rh、Pd、Os、Ir和Pt掺杂的SnO₂(110)催化剂对析氢反应具有较高的活性,其他催化剂对CO₂还原反应具有良好的催化作用.

LiFePO4在不同pH值水溶液中电化学性能表现及其衰减机理

LiFePO₄在含Li⁺水溶液中的电化学性能稳定性与水溶液的pH值密切相关,当溶液的pH值达到11后LiFePO₄在充放电循环过程中的容量衰减十分明显. 通过循环伏安测试、交流阻抗测试、电极充放电性能测试、非原位X射线衍射测试以及化学分析的方式对其容量衰减机理进行了研究. 结果表明LiFePO₄在pH=7的LiNO₃水溶液中具有相对最高的电化学稳定性,但是LiFePO₄材料在水溶液中较之其在有机电解液中依然会有较差的电化学性能表现. 认为LiFePO₄在水介质中的容量衰减现象归因于其在持续充放电过程中的Li、Fe、P溶解,同时电极表面也会附着一层沉淀物. 这些最终导致了材料晶体结构的破坏、电极极化的增大以及电极容量的衰减.

Methanol electrochemical oxidation at nanometer-scale PtRu materials

The electrochemical oxidation of CH₃OH at nanometer-scale PtRu catalyst materials is reported. Comparisons are made between the properties of a Johnson Matthey (JM) PtRu black sample (50 at.% Ru (X_Ru ≈ 0.5)) and PtRu particles (2-6 nm, nominally X_Ru ≈ 0.5) prepared by sonication under anhydrous conditions. Cyclic voltammetry and in situ infrared spectroscopy measurements show the catalysts are active for the oxidation of 0.5 M CH₃OH in 0.1 M HClO₄ at temperatures between ambient and 70 °C. The sonochemically prepared PtRu sample displayed properties characteristic of bulk PtRu alloys with X_Ru ≈ 0.5. Evidence for phase separation of Pt and Ru was observed in CO stripping voltammetry from the JM catalyst adsorbed at low metal loadings (20 μg/cm²) on bulk Au electrodes. Per gram of catalyst, the JM material was more active toward CO₂ formation and displayed greater resistance to poisoning by adsorbed CO than the sonochemically prepared material during ambient temperature oxidation of 0.5 M CH₃OH in 0.1 M HClO₄.     

Infrared spectroscopy on size-controlled synthesized Pt-based nano-catalysts

Pt, Ru and Pt/Ru nano-particles, synthesized in ethylene glycol solutions, are studied using infrared (IR) spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The synthesis method allows the control of the mono- and bi-metallic catalyst particle sizes between 1 and 5.5 nm. The IR spectra of CO adsorbed (CO_ads) on the Pt, Ru and bi-metallic Pt/Ru colloids are recorded as a function of the particle size. The stretching frequency of CO_ads depends on the particle size and composition. Strong IR bands due to the stretching vibration of CO_ads are observed between 2010 and 2050 cm⁻¹ for the Pt nano-particles, while two IR bands between 2030 and 2060 cm⁻¹ for linear bonded CO_ads, and at lower wavenumbers between 1950 and 1980 cm⁻¹ for bridged bonded CO_ads, are found for the Ru particles. The IR spectra for the Pt/Ru nano-sized catalyst particles show complex behaviour. For the larger particles (>2 ± 0.5 nm), two IR bands representative of CO_ads on Ru and Pt-Ru alloy phases, are observed in the range of 1970-2050 cm⁻¹. A decrease in the particle size results in the appearance of a third band at ∼2020 cm⁻¹, indicative of CO_ads on Pt. The relative intensity of the band for CO_ads on the Pt-Ru alloy vs. the Pt phase decreases with decreasing particle size. These results suggest that Ru is partially dissolved in the Pt lattice for the larger Pt/Ru nano-particles and that a separate Ru phase is also present. A Pt-Ru alloy and Ru phase is observed for all Pt/Ru particles prepared in this work. However, a decrease in particle size results in a decrease of the number of Pt and Ru atoms in the Pt-Ru alloy phase, as they are increasingly present as single Pt and Ru phases.     

Electrocatalytic performance of bimetallic platinum–ruthenium nanoclusters supported on graphite nanofibers

In this work, graphite nanofibers (GNFs) as a catalysts supports were impregnated with Pt and Ru precursor compounds to investigate the effect of various Pt–Ru compositions on the catalytic activity of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The particle sizes and morphological structures of the catalysts were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical oxidation of the prepared catalysts was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement. Inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) analysis showed that the metallic ratio in the catalysts was very near to expectations. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the catalysts were electro catalytically active in the methanol oxidation. Among the prepared catalysts, the Pt₅₀Ru₅₀ catalysts exhibited the best electrocatalytic performance. It was concluded that catalytic activity is dependent on the alloy compositions of the catalysts, and that Ru metal has a positive effect on CO poisoning of Pt metal for methanol oxidation.     

Interaction of CO with atomically well-defined PtxRuy/Ru(0 0 0 1) surface alloys

The interaction of CO with structurally well-defined Pt_xRu_y surface alloys supported on Ru(0 0 0 1) was investigated by thermal desorption spectroscopy and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy. The surface composition and the distribution of the surface atoms were controlled by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. On these surfaces, which have a nearly random distribution of the two surface species, the adsorption (and desorption) of CO is strongly modified compared to the pure elemental surfaces, by strain effects and electronic ligand effects. CO adsorbs exclusively in a linear configuration on Pt and Ru atoms for all surfaces investigated. The adsorption energy of CO is lowered on the alloy surfaces with respect to both Pt(1 1 1) and Ru(0 0 0 1), similar as for pseudomorphic monolayer Pt films. For both Pt and Ru sites the adsorption strength decreases with increasing Pt concentration.     

Density functional theory calculation of platinum surface segregation energy in Pt3Ni (111) surface doped with a third transition metal

We have used density functional theory method to calculate the Pt surface segregation energy in the Pt₃Ni (111) surface doped with a third transition metal M and thus investigated the influence of component M on the extent of Pt segregation to the outermost layer of these Pt₃Ni/M (111) surface. As a third component in the Pt₃Ni/M (111) surface, V, Fe, Co, Mo, Tc, Ru, W, Re, Os, and Ir were predicted to lead to even more negative Pt surface segregation energies than that in the based Pt₃Ni (111) surface; Ti, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zr, Nb, Rh, Hf, and Ta would still retain the preference of Pt segregation to the surface but with less extent than the replaced Ni, while Pd, Ag, and Au would completely suppress the Pt segregation to the Pt₃Ni/M (111) surfaces. Furthermore, we examined the relation between the Pt surface segregation energy in the Pt₃Ni/M (111) surfaces and the material properties (lattice parameter, heat of solution, and Pt surface segregation energy) of binary alloys Pt₃M. It was found that the surface energy effect, strain effect, and heat of solution effect induced by the doped element M would collectively affect the Pt surface segregation energy in the Pt₃Ni/M (111) surfaces.     

Adsorption properties of CO on low-index Pt3Sn surfaces

The adsorption properties of CO on Pt₃Sn were investigated by utilizing quantum mechanical calculations. The (1 1 1), (1 1 0) and (0 0 1) surfaces of Pt₃Sn were generated with all possible bulk terminations, and on these terminations all types of active sites were determined. The adsorption energies and the geometries of the CO molecule at those sites were found. Those results were compared with the results obtained from the adsorption of CO on similar sites of Pt(1 1 1), Pt(1 1 0) and Pt(0 0 1) surfaces. The comparison reveals that adsorption of CO is stronger on Pt surfaces; this may be the reason why catalysts with Pt₃Sn phase do not suffer from CO posioning in experimental works. Aiming to understand the interactions between CO and the metal adsorption sites in detail, the local density of states (LDOS) profiles were produced for atop-Pt adsorption, both for the carbon end of CO for its adsorbed and free states, and for the Pt atom of the binding site. LDOS profiles of C of free and adsorbed CO and Pt for corresponding pure Pt surfaces, Pt(1 1 1), Pt(1 1 0) and Pt(0 0 1) were also obtained. The comparison of the LDOS profiles of Pt atoms of atop adsorption sites on the same faces of bare Pt₃Sn and Pt surfaces showed the effect of alloying with Sn on the electronic properties of Pt atoms. Comparison of LDOS profiles of the C end of CO in its free and atop adsorbed states on Pt₃Sn and LDOS of Pt on bare and CO adsorbed Pt₃Sn surface were used to clear out the electronic changes occurred on CO and Pt upon adsorption. The study showed that (i) inclusion of a Sn atom at the adsorption site structure causes dramatic decrease in stability which limits the number of possible CO adsorption sites on Pt₃Sn surface, (ii) the presence of Sn causes angles different from 180° for M-C-O orientation, (iii) the presence of Sn in the neighborhood of Pt on which CO is adsorbed causes superposition of the 5σ/1π derived-state peaks at the carbon end of CO and changes in adsorption energy of CO, (iv) Sn present beneath the adsorption site strengthens the CO adsorption, whereas neighboring Sn on the surface weakens it for all Pt₃Sn surfaces tested and (v) the most stable site for CO adsorption is the atop-Pt site of the mixed atom termination of Pt₃Sn(1 1 0).     

Pt_nAl(n=1—8)小团簇的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论方法,在BPW91/LANL2DZ水平下详细研究了Pt n Al(n=1—8)团簇的几何结构、稳定性和电子性质.同时,分析了团簇的结构演化规律、平均结合能、二阶能量差分、能隙、磁性、Mulliken电荷和电极化率.结果表明:除Pt2Al外,所有Pt n Al(n=1—8)团簇的基态几何结构都可以用Al原子替换Pt n+1基态构型中的Pt原子得到,且Al原子位于较高的配位点上.二阶能量差分、能隙的分析结果表明,PtAl和Pt4Al团簇相对其他团簇具有较高的稳定性.Mulliken电荷分析表明,Al原子所带的电荷转移到Pt原子上,Al原子是电荷的捐赠者.磁性的分析说明,单个Al原子的加入对Pt n团簇的平均每原子磁矩随尺寸的变化趋势没有影响,但总体上降低了Pt n团簇的平均磁矩.极化率的研究表明,富Pt团簇的非线形光学效应强,容易被外场极化.     

CO adsorption on epitaxially grown Pt layers on Ru(0 0 0 1)

The adsorption of CO on epitaxially grown Pt films of variable thickness has been studied using infrared-absorption spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy and thermal desorption spectroscopy. Depending on the number of pseudomorphic Pt layers (N_Pt = 1-4) the internal and external CO stretching modes (ν_C-O and ν_Pt-CO, respectively) display characteristic frequency shifts due to the vanishing influence of the underlying Ru(0 0 0 1) substrate and Pt/Ru interface. For thicker layers (N_Pt ? 5) when this influence has become negligible, the compressive stress within the Pt film is gradually relieved, leading to a dislocation network. The structural heterogeneity during the ongoing relaxation process of the Pt film is reflected in the ν_C-O line shape; no line broadening is observed for either pseudomorphic or very thick films (N_Pt ? 15). For N_Pt ? 3 the adsorption of CO on Pt/Ru(0 0 0 1) films closely resembles CO on Pt(1 1 1), with residual deviations in line position and desorption temperatures gradually converging to zero.     

电化学红外光谱研究铂电极上甲酸分解成CO的反应中桥式吸附甲酸根的作用

采用电化学原位红外光谱技术研究了多晶Pt电极上甲酸的分解反应. 研究发现,在恒电位下(0.4 V vs. RHE)从不含甲酸的支持电解质溶液切换到含甲酸的溶液时,CO_ad的生成速率在切换的最初也就是甲酸根的覆盖度为零最大,切换后的1 s内甲酸根的覆盖度达到平衡,而COad的生成速率逐步降低. E由0.75 V变至0.35 V的电位阶跃实验显示：电位阶跃后的瞬间,甲酸根的红外光谱强度迅速降低,而CO_ad的生成强度随时间缓慢增加. 实验表明甲酸根不是甲酸脱水生成CO的反应活性中间体.
