The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2+ O2→ H2O2) may enable low-cost H2O2 production and reduce environmental impacts of chemical oxidations. Here, we synthesize a …
Au25 and Pd1Au24 clusters on multiwalled carbon nanotubes were developed via adsorption of Au25 (SC12H25) 18 and Pd1Au24 (SC12H25) 18, respectively, on the …
Key descriptors in hydrogenation catalysis are the nature of the active sites for H2 activation and the adsorption strength of H atoms to the surface. Using atomically resolved model …
Gold can be deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters of 2–5 nm and clusters with diameters less than 2 nm on a variety of materials such as oxides, carbides, and sulfides of …
The rapid growth of methods emerging in the past decade for synthesis of “designer” catalysts—ranging from the size and shape-selected nanoparticles to mass-selected …
Properties of mono-and bimetallic metal nanoparticles (NPs) may depend strongly on their compositional, structural (or geometrical) attributes, and their atomic dynamics, all of which …
Global optimization of Pd− Au bimetallic clusters in the size range N= 2− 50 has been performed using a genetic algorithm, coupled with the Gupta many-body empirical potential …
