晶相调控对金属纳米粒子催化性能的影响

尺寸在1–10 nm的金属纳米催化剂广泛地应用于石油化工,精细化学品合成,能源与环境保护等领域。大量研究表明,金属纳米粒子的催化性能与其微观结构,即尺寸、形貌和晶相等密切相关。近年来,对金属纳米粒子的尺寸和形貌效应已经有了较为系统深入的研究,但对晶相效应的研究则较少涉及。这主要是由于介稳晶相的金属纳米粒子在合成过程中或反应条件下极易转化为热力学稳定的晶相结构。根据金属原子密堆积形式,金属纳米粒子的晶相结构主要有立方面心(fcc)、立方体心(bcc)和六方密堆积(hcp)三种晶相;而金属合金由于d带电子存在着多种杂化方式,因而其晶相结构呈现出多样性且与单一金属有很大的不同。金属和合金纳米粒子晶相结构的调控,不仅会改变金属原子的配位环境,调控了其电子分布状态,还可影响反应物和产物的吸附、活化和脱附,进而调变催化性能。首先,我们简要总结了液相合成和固相转变调控金属纳米粒子晶相的原理和方法。纳米粒子的液相合成一般包括前驱体还原成核和晶核生长两个阶段,通过对液相合成条件的优化,尤其是表面活性剂的选择,可有效调控合成过程中的热力学和动力学因素,从而实现金属晶相的可控合成。固相转变则主要是对具有一定晶相结构的纳米粒子于一定气氛和温度条件下进行加热处理,利用金属粒子与活性气体之间(H2, CO等)的化学作用来实现晶相转变。利用上述方法,可以合成出fcc-Co、fcc-Ru、L10-AuCu等热力学介稳的金属或合金纳米粒子。在此基础之上,我们分别以Co纳米粒子(fcc和hcp晶相)催化FT合成, Fe模型催化剂(fcc和bcc晶相)活化N2和CO, Ru纳米粒子(fcc和hcp晶相)催化CO氧化和氨硼烷水解制氢, Pd纳米粒子(PdHx物种)催化加氢等为例分析了晶相对金属纳米粒子催化性能的影响;在合金催化剂方面,以Pt3Co(无序的fcc和有序的L12), AuPdCo(P3–m、Fm3–m和R3–m混合晶相)和FePt纳米粒子(fcc和fct相)催化O2电化学还原、PtRhSn (碲铂矿晶相和fcc晶相)和ZrPt3纳米粒子(hcp和fcc晶相)催化乙醇电氧化、Ag3In合金(无序的Fm3–m相和有序的Pm3–m晶相)催化对硝基苯酚加氢、PdRu纳米粒子(fcc和hcp混合晶相)催化CO氧化等为例分析了合金催化剂的晶相对催化性能的影响。上述研究进展表明,金属纳米粒子的晶相也是影响制备剂高效金属催化剂的主要因素。最后,我们结合纳米催化的发展现状,提出了金属纳米粒子的晶相调控在纳米催化和纳米材料领域可能的发展态势。第一,通过对金属纳米粒子溶液相合成机理的深入研究,有助于发展出尺寸、形貌和晶相同时可控的新合成方法。第二,金属纳米粒子在晶相转化过程中往往伴随着烧结及组分的偏析等难题。利用氧化物包覆的核壳型或蛋壳型纳米结构以及碳纳米管的空间限域效应,或许有助于解决上述难题。第三,具有亚稳晶相结构的金属纳米粒子在反应条件下极易转变为热力学稳定的结构,因此,利用原位、动态、实时的表征技术对催化剂在真实工作状态下的微观结构进行细致的分析是阐明晶相效应的前提。

Tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt(III)-doped silica nanoparticle DNA probe for the electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization

A new and sensitive electrochemical DNA hybridization detection assay, using tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt(III) [Co(bpy)₃³⁺]-doped silica nanoparticles as the oligonucleotide (ODN) labeling tag, and based on voltammetric detection of Co(bpy)₃³⁺ inside silica nanoparticles, is described. Electro-active Co(bpy)₃³⁺ is not possible for directly linking with DNA, it is doped into the silica nanoparticles in the process of nanoparticles synthesis for DNA labeling with trimethoxysilylpropydiethylenetriamine (DETA) and glutaraldehyde as linking agents. The Co(bpy)₃³⁺ labeled DNA probe is used to hybridize with target DNA immobilized on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. Only the complementary sequence DNA (cDNA) could form a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with the DNA probe labeled with Co(bpy)₃³⁺ and give an obvious electrochemical response. A three-base mismatch sequence and non-complementary sequence had negligible response. Due to the large number of Co(bpy)₃³⁺ molecules inside silica nanoparticles linked to oligonucleotide DNA probe, the assay showed a high sensitivity. It allows the detection at levels as low as 2.0×10⁻¹⁰ mol l⁻¹ of the target oligonucleotides.     

Graphene‐Coated ZnO and SiO2 as Supports for CoO Nanoparticles with Enhanced Reducibility

The insertion of a graphene layer between cobalt and a substrate modifies the morphology and the oxidation/reduction properties of supported cobalt particles. Co forms a relatively flat structure on ZnO and SiO₂, whereas individual Co nanoparticles are formed after graphene coating of these substrates. The graphene layer moderates the formation of cobalt oxide in 5×10^?7 mbar O₂ and promotes the reduction of oxidized Co in H₂ at lower temperature. Angle‐resolved XPS measurements indicate that this is mainly a consequence of the restricted interaction of cobalt with the oxide supports. After the low‐pressure redox treatments, the graphene layer maintains a relatively high quality with a small number of defect sites.     

Cobalt Single‐Atom Catalysts with High Stability for Selective Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid

Metal–organic framework (MOF)‐derived Co‐N‐C catalysts with isolated single cobalt atoms have been synthesized and compared with cobalt nanoparticles for formic acid dehydrogenation. The atomically dispersed Co‐N‐C catalyst achieves superior activity, better acid resistance, and improved long‐term stability compared with nanoparticles synthesized by a similar route. High‐angle annular dark‐field–scanning transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X‐ray absorption fine structure characterizations reveal the formation of Co^IIN_x centers as active sites. The optimal low‐cost catalyst is a promising candidate for liquid H₂ generation.     

Designed synthesis of cobalt and its alloys by polyol process

The role of polyol, precursor and reaction promoting agents in the synthesis of metal and alloy nanoparticles using polyol process has been investigated by analyzing the reaction steps involved in the synthesis of cobalt in Co ion-polyol-[OH⁻] ion system in detail. The reducing potential of polyols and the easiness with which any metal salt can react to form reducible complexes has been evaluated using the orbital molecular theory and the results were experimentally verified. The reduction limit of polyol and their extension using reaction promoting agents such as [OH⁻] ions is also explained. The reduction of cobalt is preceded by various reaction stages of complex/compound formation, which has been fully identified. Furthermore, the reducing form of cobalt has been identified as either cobalt alkoxide or cobalt hydroxide. The results confirmed that the complex forming reactions that take place prior to the formation of the precursor, which finally get reduced to metal, play a decisive role in determining the physical properties of the nanoparticles. The approach can be extended to reduce any metals or alloys using polyol process.     

Spectrophotometric study of thiocyanato complexation of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions in micellar solutions of a nonionic surfactant triton X-100

Complexation of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with thiocyanate ions has been studied by precise spectrophotometry in aqueous and micellar solutions of a nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 of varying concentrations (20–100 mmol-dm^–3). With regard to cobalt(II), the formation of [Co(NCS)]⁺, [Co(NCS)₂], and [Co(NCS)₄]^2– was established. The formation constant of [Co(NCS)₄]^2–, is increased with increasing concentration of the surfactant, suggesting that the [Co(NCS)₄]^2– complex is formed in micelles. In contrast, the formation constants of [Co(NCS)]⁺ and [Co(NCS)₂] are remained practically unchanged. On the other hand, with nickel(II), the formation of sole [Ni(NCS)]⁺ and [Ni(NCS)₂] was established in both aqueous and micellar solutions examined, their formation constants being also remained unchanged. Interestingly, no higher complex was confirmed in the nickel(II) system, unlike cobalt(II). The unusual affinity of the [Co(NCS)₄]^2– complex with micelles will be discussed from thermodynamic and structural points of view.     

Re-investigation of the thermal decomposition of Co(CO)4SiCl3 adsorbed on silica

Evidence is provided that thermal decomposition of Co(CO)(4)SiCl(3) adsorbed on silica in a hydrogen atmosphere results in the formation of metallic cobalt nanoparticles covered with a Co(2)SiO(4)/CoO shell instead of cobalt silicide nanoparticles, as had been reported previously.     

Influence of Cations on the Formation of Cobalt(II) Complexes with Thiocyanate Ions in Solutions of Nonionic Micelles

The influence of additives of alkali, alkaline-earth, and several transition metal cations, protonated amines, and quaternary ammonium on the state of the tetrahedral cobalt(II) thiocyanate complex is studied in an aqueous solution of the nonionogenic surfactant Triton X-100. It is shown that alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations and compounds containing protonated primary amino groups favor the formation of additional amounts of the micellar-bonded [Co(NCS)₄]^2– complex anion. This fact is explained by the interaction of these cations with the oxyethylene chains of the nonionogenic surfactant as was observed in the crown ether coordination. This provides the formation and transfer into micelles of additional amounts of their associates with [Co(NCS)₄]^2–. The Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cd²⁺ cations decompose cobalt tetrathiocyanate due to the formation of their own complexes with the ligand. This effect is not observed in the case of the quaternary ammonium compounds, which is explained by their incapability of coordinating the oxyethylene chains of the nonionogenic surfactant.     

Characteristic features of the synthesis, solubility products, and absorption spectra of basic cobalt(II) acetate, nitrate, and chloride salts

The solubility products of basic cobalt(II) salts Co(OH)_1.80(An)_0.20, where An are NO₃⁻ and CH₃COO⁻, and Co(OH)_1.50(CH₃COO)_0.50 were determined by the method of three variables. The stability of the salts Co(OH)_1.80(An)_0.20 against hydrolysis increases in the series < CH₃COO⁻ < Cl⁻. The absorption maxima of Co²⁺ ions in solutions, β-Co(OH)₂ powders, and the pink Co(OH)_1.50Cl_0.5 salt are located in the frequency regions typical of the octahedral coordination; those of CoOH⁺ ions in solutions and powders of green basic cobalt salts are in the frequency regions typical of the tetrahedral coordination. A model for the formation and interconversion of basic cobalt salts with single-charged anions is proposed.     

Hexamethylphosphorsäuretriamid als Ligand, 1. Mitt.: Tetrakis (hexamethylphosphorsäuretriamido)kobalt(II)

Calorimetric investigations on the formation of cobalt(II) solvates show, that the donor strength ofHMPT towards Co(II) is smaller, than is suggested by its donor number.¹H-NMR-spectra at different temperatures lead to the conclusion, that at room temperature in [Co(HMPT)₄]²⁺ the coordination center is “rattling” within the tetrahedron formed by the bulkyHMPT molecules.
