Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Catalysts based on mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles have been used at laboratory, pilot-plant, and industrial scale for several years. Nevertheless, they are still of considerable interest due to the discovery of the new compositions and structures bearing unknown and unique catalytic properties. Other reasons include changes in major trends in chemical engineering, process safety, and cost, as well as the appearance of new renewable raw materials and the need for novel up-to-date chemical products.

This Special Issue will provide information on recent advances in the synthesis of mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles for applications in the catalytic processes, as well as studies on the structure of nanoparticles and their catalytic behavior. We welcome papers focusing on novel synthesis methods of metallic nanoparticles for the diverse applications in catalysis, especially in novel promising reactions and processes. Variations in procedures of known methods that result in strong improvement of the catalytic properties are of interest as well. Studies of the systems “no noble metal – support” and “noble metal – no noble metal – support”, as well as the use of metal oxide combinations as supports or supported phases, are of particular interest. We encourage the submission of all types of papers, including communications, research, and review papers, that cover all topics of innovative catalytic applications of mono- and bi-metallic nanoparticles.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) supported by Pd and Pd-Sn electro-catalysts were prepared by the chemical reduction method using ethylene glycol as the reducing agent. Their physicochemical characteristics were studied using high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Bruanaer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. FTIR revealed that oxygen, hydroxyl, carboxylic and carbonyl functional groups facilitated the dispersion of Pd and Sn nanoparticles. The doping of Pd with Sn to generate PdSn alloy was also confirmed by XPS data. The amorphous nature of CNFs was confirmed by XRD patterns which exhibited the Pd diffraction peaks. When Sn was added to Pd/CNFs, the diffraction peaks moved to lower angles. HRTEM images revealed that the CNFs with cylindrical shape-like morphology and also Pd-Sn nanoparticles dispersed on carbon support. The catalytic activity and stability towards alcohol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium at room temperature was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained Pd-Sn/CNFs electro-catalyst exhibited a better electro-catalytic activity than Pd/CNFs and Pd/C electro-catalysts for both methanol and ethanol oxidation. The improvement of the electrochemical performance was associated with the synergistic effect via the addition of Sn which modified the Pd atom arrangement, thereby promoting oxidation through a dehydrogenation pathway. Furthermore, SnO2 generates abundant OH species which helps with increasing the rate of the oxidative removal of carbon monoxide (CO) intermediates from Pd sites. Full article

Abstract
In this study, 3%Pd/Al2O3, 3%Pt/Al2O3 and bimetallic (1%Pd + 2%Pt)/Al2O3 catalysts were examined in the total oxidation of methane in a temperature range of 150–400 °C. The evolution of the active component under [...] Read more.
In this study, 3%Pd/Al2O3, 3%Pt/Al2O3 and bimetallic (1%Pd + 2%Pt)/Al2O3 catalysts were examined in the total oxidation of methane in a temperature range of 150–400 °C. The evolution of the active component under the reaction conditions was studied by transmission electron microscopy and in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. It was found that the platinum and bimetallic palladium-platinum catalysts are more stable against sintering than the palladium catalysts. For all the catalysts, the active component forms a “core-shell” structure in which the metallic core is covered by an oxide shell. The “core-shell” structure for the platinum and bimetallic palladium-platinum catalysts is stable in the temperature range of 150–400 °C. However, in the case of the palladium catalysts the metallic core undergoes the reversible oxidation at temperatures above 300 °C and reduced to the metallic state with the decrease in the reaction temperature. The scheme of the active component evolution during the oxidation of methane is proposed and discussed. Full article

Local structure of Pd1 single sites on the surface of Pd1In1 intermetallic nanoparticles supported on α-Al2O3 was investigated by the combination of CO-DRIFTS spectroscopy and DFT. CO-DRIFTS spectra of PdIn/Al2O3 catalyst exhibit only one asymmetric absorption band of linearly adsorbed CO comprising two peaks at 2065 and 2055 cm−1 attributable to CO molecules coordinated to Pd1 sites located at (110) and (111) facets of PdIn nanoparticles. The absence of bridged or hollow-bonded CO bands indicates that multipoint adsorption on PdIn nanoparticles is significantly hindered or impossible. DFT results show that on (110) facet multipoint CO adsorption is hindered due to large distance between neighboring Pd atoms (3.35 Å). On (111) facet multipoint CO adsorption on surface palladium atoms is impossible, since adjacent Pd atoms are located below the surface plane. Full article

A series of oxidative treatments of PdIn-supported intermetallic nanoparticles at different temperatures were performed. The bulk and surface structure of catalyst during phase transformation was investigated by bulk- and surface-sensitive techniques (in situ XAFS, DRIFTS of adsorbed CO). It was found that comparison of palladium and indium fractions in bulk and on the surface suggests the formation of a «core-shell» structure. According to obtained results, the core consists of In-depleted intermetallic compound or inhomogeneous bimetallic phase with the inner core of metallic Pd, when a mixture of indium oxide, metallic palladium and small part of PdIn is present on the surface.

The bimetallic Crn+/Pd0 nanoparticles have been synthesized for the first time by a two-step redox method. The method includes the deposition of Pd0 nanoparticles on the surface of SiO2 and TiO2 carriers followed by the deposition of Crn+ on the surface of Pd0 nanoparticles using the redox procedures, which are based on the catalytic reduction of Crn+ with H2 in aqueous suspensions at ambient conditions. Transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourie-transformed infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO (FTIR-CO), and CO chemisorption studies were performed to characterize the morphology, nanoparticle size, element, and particle distribution, as well as the electronic state of deposited metals in the obtained catalysts. A decrease in nanoparticle size from 22 nm (Pd/SiO2) to 2–6 nm (Pd/TiO2) makes possible deposition of up to 1.1 wt.% Cr most likely as Cr3+. The deposition of CrOx species on the surface of Pd nanoparticles was confirmed using FTIR of adsorbed CO and the method of temperature-programmed reduction with hydrogen (TPR-H2). The intensive hydrogen consumption in the temperature ranges from −50 °C to 40 °C (Cr/Pd/SiO2) and from −90 °C to −40 °C (Cr/Pd/TiO2) was first observed for the supported Pd catalysts. The decrease in the temperature of β-PdHx decomposition indicates the strong interaction between the deposited Crn+ species and Pd0 nanoparticle after reduction with H2 at 500 °C. The novel Crn+/Pd/TiO2 catalysts demonstrated a considerably higher activity in selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene than the Pd/TiO2 catalyst at ambient conditions. Full article
