One-dimensional CoPt nanorods and their anomalous IR optical properties

One-dimensional (1D) CoPt nanorods were synthesized by a galvanic displacement reaction. The morphology of the nanomaterials was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed the coexistence of Co and Pt in the 1D nanorods. Studies of cyclic voltammetry (CV) demonstrated that the 1D CoPt nanorods exhibit a better electrocatalytic property for CO oxidation than that of bulk Pt electrode does. In situ electrochemical FTIRS illustrated, for the first time, that the 1D CoPt nanorods display abnormal infrared effects (AIREs), which was previously revealed mainly on 2D film nanomaterials.

One-pot synthesis of hollow superparamagnetic CoPt nanospheres

Hollow metal nanospheres are of interest for a variety of academic and technological applications, including drug delivery, catalysis, plasmonics, and lightweight structural composites. Despite recent advances in synthesizing metal nanostructures with controlled morphologies, there are very few reports of hollow bimetallic nanospheres, although such systems promise to offer advantages over single-metal systems. Here, were report a one-pot synthetic strategy for accessing hollow CoPt nanospheres with a Co-Pt alloy structure. The approach utilizes an in situ Co template and exploits galvanic displacement reactions to selectively dissolve the Co core while depositing a Pt shell. The combination of reducing conditions and a polymer stabilizer appears to allow the Co and Pt to co-reduce and form a Co-Pt fcc alloy phase with a morphology that is templated by the sacrificial Co core. The hollow CoPt nanospheres, which show magnetic hysteresis at low temperatures, are thermally stable up to 300 degrees C. The approach, which adds to a growing toolbox of reactions that yield morphologically controlled magnetic CoPt and FePt nanomaterials, is likely to be general for a variety of alloy systems.     

Study of nucleation and growth in the organometallic synthesis of magnetic alloy nanocrystals: the role of nucleation rate in size control of CoPt3 nanocrystals

High quality CoPt(3) nanocrystals were synthesized via simultaneous reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and thermodecomposition of cobalt carbonyl in the presence of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid and hexadecylamine as stabilizing agents. The high flexibility and reproducibility of the synthesis allows us to consider CoPt(3) nanocrystals as a model system for the hot organometallic synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Different experimental conditions (reaction temperature, concentration of stabilizing agents, ratio between cobalt and platinum precursors, etc.) have been investigated to reveal the processes governing the formation of the metal alloy nanocrystals. It was found that CoPt(3) nanocrystals nucleate and grow up to their final size at an early stage of the synthesis with no Ostwald ripening observed upon further heating. In this case, the nanocrystal size can be controlled only via proper balance between the rates for nucleation and for growth from the molecular precursors. Thus, the size of CoPt(3) nanocrystals can be precisely tuned from approximately 3 nm up to approximately 18 nm in a predictable and reproducible way. The mechanism of homogeneous nucleation, evolution of the nanocrystal ensemble in the absence of Ostwald ripening, nanocrystal faceting, and size-dependent magnetic properties are investigated and discussed on the example of CoPt(3) magnetic alloy nanocrystals. The developed approach was found to be applicable to other systems, e.g., FePt and CoPd(2) magnetic alloy nanocrystals.     

Electroplating of metal nanotubes and nanowires in a high aspect-ratio nanotemplate

Ordered metal (Co, Pt, and CoPt alloy) nanotube and nanowire structures were fabricated by a simple electroplating method in high aspect-ratio anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane. The growth rate in pulse mode is always larger than that in constant-current mode, which represents that diffusion limitation exists in this electroplating condition. It is also found that the sputtered Au layer structure could influence the electroplating. Traditional nanowires could be fabricated in the template with a uniform Au layer as conducting contact. In case of unblocked AAO membrane, metal electroplating begins from the Au particles which were attached inside the holes during the sputtering step and produces metal nanotubes. Pt and CoPt nanotubes could be easily prepared by this method and might be applied as catalyst and magnetic material.

Characterization of superparamagnetic "core-shell" nanoparticles and monitoring their anisotropic phase transition to ferromagnetic "solid solution" nanoalloys

The structure, magnetism, and phase transition of core-shell type CoPt nanoparticles en route to solid solution alloy nanostructures are systematically investigated. The characterization of Co(core)Pt(shell) nanoparticles obtained by a "redox transmetalation" process by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and, in particular, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides clear evidence for the existence of a core-shell type bimetallic interfacial structure. Nanoscale phase transitions of the Co(core)Pt(shell) structures toward c-axis compressed face-centered tetragonal (fct) solid solution alloy CoPt nanoparticles are monitored at various stages of a thermally induced annealing process and the obtained fct nanoalloys show a large enhancement of their magnetic properties with ferromagnetism. The relationship between the nanostructures and their magnetic properties is in part elucidated through the use of XAS as a critical analytical tool.

Microstructure and magnetic properties of L10 CoPt nanoparticles by Ag addition

CoPt nanoparticles with various Ag contents were synthesized by sol–gel technique. L1₀ CoPt alloy phase was formed after annealing at 700 °C. The coercivity (H_c) increased when the Ag content increased from 0 to 15 at.%. And H_c decreased when the Ag content was over 15 at.%. A certain amount of Ag could enhance the ordering degree of CoPt nanoparticles and improve the magnetic properties. When the Ag addition was more than 15 at.%, the deteriorated magnetic properties were ascribed to the decrease of ordering degree.     

One‐Pot Synthesis of Pt–Co Alloy Nanowire Assemblies with Tunable Composition and Enhanced Electrocatalytic Properties

Three‐dimensional (3D) Pt‐based alloy nanostructures composed of one‐dimensional (1D) nanowires/nanorods have recently attracted significant interest as electrocatalysts. In this work, we report an effective solvothermal method for the direct preparation of 3D Pt–Co nanowire assemblies (NWAs) with tunable composition. The composition‐ and structure‐dependent electrocatalytic performance is thoroughly investigated. Because of the bimetallic synergetic effect and unique structural advantage, the as‐prepared 3D Pt₃Co NWA outperforms commercial Pt/carbon and Pt black catalysts and even 3D Pt NWA. The electrochemical results demonstrate that the 3D Pt₃Co NWA is indeed a promising electrocatalyst with enhanced catalytic activity and improved durability for practical electrocatalytic applications.

Colloidal synthesis and self-assembly of CoPt(3) nanocrystals

Reduction of platinum acetylacetonate and thermodecomposition of cobalt carbonyl in the presence of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid were employed in different coordinating mixtures to produce monodisperse, highly crystalline CoPt(3) nanoparticles. The mean particle size can be varied from 1.5 to 7.2 nm by controlling the reaction conditions and the type of coordinating mixture. As-synthesized CoPt(3) particles represent single crystal domains and have chemically disordered face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. Nearly spherical CoPt(3) nanocrystals were found to assemble into two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structures. An AB(5) type superlattice is observed by TEM after mixing two nanoparticle samples with different mean sizes. Slow precipitation led to the formation of facetted colloidal crystals with sizes up to 20 microm.
