具特定晶面且大比表面积贵金属纳米晶催化基元的构筑

贵金属纳米晶在电催化等领域具有广泛应用. 其催化活性往往与纳米晶体的表面结构直接相关,而催化剂的贵金属原子利用率与比表面积密切相关. 因小尺寸纳米晶难以保留特定的晶面,而具有特定表面的纳米晶通常结晶成尺寸较大、比表面积比较小的晶体,调控纳米晶的尺寸和表面结构两种策略似乎相互矛盾. 如何可控合成同时具有特定表面结构和大比表面积的贵金属纳米晶具有重要的意义. 本综述从形貌调控角度详细介绍提高贵金属纳米晶原子利用率的方法策略;总结调控单贵金属及其合金同时具有特定晶面和大比表面积的研究现状;最后,对纳米晶的形貌调控领域未来的发展趋势提出展望.

Support-Free Pd3Co NCs as an Efficient Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst for New Organic Transformations of C−C Coupling Reactions

A support-free heterogeneous Pd₃Co nanostructured composite (NC), synthesized through a hydrothermal route, acted as an effective catalytic system in multivariate Heck-, Sonogashira-, and Suzuki-type coupling reactions of iodonium ylides. The XPS analysis of the bimetallic Pd₃Co NCs confirmed the elemental composition as 75 % palladium and 25 % cobalt. Furthermore, high-resolution (HR) TEM analysis confirmed the spherical morphology of the Pd₃Co bimetallic nanoparticles. The average diameter of the NCs is 14.8 nm. The coupling reaction proceeded through the generation of α-iodoenones with simultaneous migration of the phenyl group, thereby giving a scaffold with higher atom economy. The heterogeneous Pd₃Co NCs were recycled and reused without any significant change in catalytic ability for up to five reaction cycles. The high concentration of Pd and association of cobalt into the lattice of palladium appears to enhance its catalytic ability for the diverse coupling reactions in comparison with its monometallic counterparts as well as with bimetallic NCs with a comparatively lesser amount of Pd.     

Formation of a Highly Reactive Cobalt Nanocluster Crystal within a Highly Negatively Charged Porous Coordination Cage

Earth‐abundant first‐row transition‐metal nanoclusters (NCs) have been extensively investigated as catalysts. However, their catalytic activity is relatively low compared with noble metal NCs. Enhanced catalytic activity of cobalt NCs can be achieved by encapsulating Co NCs in soluble porous coordination cages (PCCs). Two cages, PCC‐2a and 2b, possess almost identical cavity in shape and size, while PCC‐2a has five times more net charges than PCC‐2b. Co²⁺ cations were accumulated in PCC‐2a and reduced to ultra‐small Co NCs in situ, while for PCC‐2b, only bulky Co particles were formed. As a result, Co NCs@PCC‐2a accomplished the highest catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of ammonium borane among all the first‐row transition‐metals NCs. Based on these results, it is envisioned that confining in the charged porous coordination cage could be a novel route for the synthesis of ultra‐small NCs with extraordinary properties.     

Nanocomposites based on opal matrices and iron subgroup metal nanoparticles

Three-dimensional nanocomposites based on ordered opal matrices (OMs) and metal nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of salts and oxides of iron subgroup metals (M = Ni, Co, and Fe) and their binary and ternary mixtures with isopropanol in a supercritical state. The effect of the composition of the initial salts (nitrates or chlorides) on the phase composition of OM/M composites was determined. For a binary system of Ni and Co nitrates (1 : 1), the particles of a NiCo solid solution in a cubic modification were formed in an opal matrix after treatment in supercritical isopropanol. For the Ni-Fe and Co-Fe systems, the nanoparticles of solid solutions based on nickel or ??-, ??-cobalt metal and also oxides or an MFe₂O₄ phase with the spinel structure were formed in opal matrices with the use of iron trichloride. The nanoparticles of iron metal and Ni₃Fe, NiFe, and CoFe intermetallic compounds with regular distributions of metal atoms were detected for the first time in addition to spinel phases upon the reduction of composites with Fe, Ni-Fe, and Co-Fe nitrates with supercritical isopropanol. The reduction of composites obtained by the thermal treatment of a ternary mixture of nickel and cobalt nitrates and iron chloride in supercritical isopropanol led to the formation of solid solution nanoparticles based on Ni, Co, and Fe with an fcc structure and an oxide phase with the spinel structure in the voids of opal matrices. In the composite based on an opal matrix and a ternary system of Ni-Co-Fe nitrates (1 : 1 : 1), the complete reduction of spinel phases to the intermetallic phases of Ni₃Fe, NiFe, and CoFe was noted.     

Constrained synthesis of cobalt oxide nanomaterials in the 12-subunit protein cage from Listeria innocua

The protein cage of the 12-subunit ferritin-like protein from Listeria innocua has been utilized as a size and shape constrained reaction environment for the synthesis of two cobalt oxide minerals, Co(3)O(4) and Co(O)OH. Reaction of Co(II) with H(2)O(2) at pH 8.5 under either elevated temperature (65 degrees C) or ambient temperature (23 degrees C) resulted in the formation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles encapsulated within the protein cage. At elevated temperatures, Co(3)O(4) was formed while at lower temperature the oxyhydroxide Co(O)OH was found. Mineral particles, commensurate in size with the internal dimensions of the protein (5 nm), were imaged by transmission electron microscopy and shown to be surrounded by the intact protein cage. The minerals were investigated by electron diffraction and revealed a crystalline Co(3)O(4) phase and an amorphous Co(O)OH phase. Further investigation of these composite materials using size exclusion chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements indicated that the mineral was encapsulated within the protein cage giving rise to properties of both the mineral and protein components.     

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.     

Nanostructured block-random copolymers with tunable magnetic properties

It was recently shown that block copolymers (BCPs) produced room-temperature ferromagnetic materials (RTFMs) due to their nanoscopic ordering and the cylindrical phase yielded the highest coercivity. Here, a series of metal-containing block-random copolymers composed of an alkyl-functionalized homo block (C(16)) and a random block of cobalt complex- (Co) and ferrocene-functionalized (Fe) units was synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. Taking advantage of the block-random architecture, the influence of dipolar interactions on the magnetic properties of these nanostructured BCP materials was studied by varying the molar ratio of the Co units to the Fe units, while maintaining the cylindrical phase-separated morphology. DC magnetic measurements, including magnetization versus field, zero-field-cooled, and field-cooled, as well as AC susceptibility measurements showed that the magnetic properties of the nanostructured BCP materials could be easily tuned by diluting the cobalt density with Fe units in the cylindrical domains. Decreasing the cobalt density weakened the dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles, leading to the transition from a room temperature ferromagnetic (RTF) to a superparamagnetic material. These results confirmed that dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles within the phase-separated domains were responsible for the RTF properties of the nanostructured BCP materials.     

Polyacrylonitrile-based FeCo/C nanocomposites: Preparation and magnetic properties

Metal–carbon nanocomposites that represent FeCo alloy nanoparticles uniformly distributed over the carbon matrix, were prepared by the IR pyrolysis of precursors comprising polyacrylonitrile (PAN), iron acetylacetonate, and cobalt acetate (the metal ratio in the precursors was Fe: Co = 1: 1, 3: 1). The composition of FeCo alloy nanoparticles satisfies the tailored ratio Fe: Co. The FeCo phase is formed at synthesis temperatures in the range 500–600°С; at T ≤ 500°С only FCC-Co-base solid solutions are observed. The nanocomposites prepared at T ≥ 600°С simultaneously contain FeCo intermetallic nanoparticles and an insignificant amount of a FCC-Co phase or a cobalt-base solid solution phase. The saturation magnetization of FeCo/C metal–carbon nanocomposites is determined by the mean nanoparticle size and the alloy composition, and ranges from 36 to 64 (A m²)/kg (when Fe: Co = 1: 1) and from 35 to 52 (A m²)/kg (when Fe: Co = 3: 1) at synthesis temperatures in the range 600–800°С.     

Sol-gel preparation and characterization of Co/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticles: Application to the degradation of methyl orange

Cobalt doped titania nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using titanium(IV) isopropoxide and cobalt nitrate as precursors. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that titania and Co/TiO₂ nanoparticles only include anatase phase. The framework substitution of Co in TiO₂ nanoparticles was established by XRD, scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (SEM-EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed the nanocrystalline nature of Co/TiO₂. The increase of cobalt doping enhanced “red-shift” in the UV-Vis absorption spectra. The dopant suppresses the growth of TiO₂ grains, agglomerates them and shifts the band absorption of TiO₂ from ultraviolet (UV) to visible region. The photocatalytic activity of samples was tested for degradation of methyl orange (MO) solutions. Although the photocatalytic activity of undoped TiO₂ was found to be higher than that of Co/TiO₂ under UV irradiation, the presence of 0.5% Co dopant in TiO₂ resulted in a catalyst with the highest activity under visible irradiation.     

Influence of the pore structure of MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica fibers on atomic layer chemical vapor deposition of cobalt carbonyl

Mesoporous high surface area MCM-41 and SBA-15 type silica materials with fibrous morphology were synthesized and used as support materials for the ALCVD (atomic layer chemical vapor deposition) preparation of Co/MCM-41 and Co/SBA-15 catalysts. Co/MCM-41 and Co/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by deposition of Co2(CO)8 from the gas phase onto the surfaces of preheated support materials in a fluidized bed reactor. For both silica materials, two different kinds of preparation methods, direct deposition and a pulse deposition method, were used. Pure silica supports as well as supported cobalt catalysts were characterized by various spectroscopic (IR) and analytical (X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, elemental analysis) methods. MCM-41 and SBA-15 fibers showed considerable ability to adsorb Co2(CO)8 from the gas phase. For MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas, cobalt loadings of 13.7 and 12.1 wt % were obtained using the direct deposition method. The cobalt loadings increased to 23.0 and 20.7 wt % for MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas, respectively, when the pulse deposition method was used. The reduction behavior of silica-supported cobalt catalysts was found to depend on the catalyst preparation method and on the mesoporous structure of the support material. Almost identical reduction properties of SBA-15-supported catalysts prepared by different deposition methods are explained by the structural properties of the mesoporous support and, in particular, by the chemical structure of the inner surfaces and walls of the mesopores. Pulse O2/H2 chemisorption experiments showed catalytically promising redox properties and surface stability of the prepared MCM-41- and SBA-15-supported cobalt catalysts.
