  • γ al2o3 supported pd ceo2 core shell nanospheres salting out assisted growth and self assembly and their catalytic performance in co oxidation
    Chemical Science, 2015
    Co-Authors: Xiao Wang, Jiangman Zhen, Junqi Li, Fan Wang, Hongjie Zhang
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we have successfully demonstrated the Clean Synthesis of high-quality Pd@CeO2 core@shell nanospheres with tunable Pd core sizes in water, and furthermore loaded the as-obtained Pd@CeO2 products on commercial γ-Al2O3via electrostatic interaction. KBr here plays two key roles in inducing the growth and self-assembly of Pd@CeO2 core@shell nanospheres. First, Br− ions can retard the reduction of Pd2+ ions via the formation of the more stable complex of [PdBr4]2− so as to tune the size of Pd cores. Second, it greatly decreases the colloidal stability, and hence the surface polarity-weakened Pd and CeO2 NPs have to spontaneously self-assemble into more stable and ordered structures. Among different-sized Pd samples, the as-obtained 8 nm-Pd@CeO2/Al2O3 one exhibits the best performance in catalytic CO oxidation, which can catalyze 100% CO conversion into CO2 at 95 °C, which is much lower than the previously reported CeO2-encapsulated Pd samples.

  • Clean Synthesis of cu2o ceo2 core shell nanocubes with highly active interface
    Npg Asia Materials, 2015
    Co-Authors: Xiao Wang, Dapeng Liu, Jiangman Zhen, Hongjie Zhang
    Abstract:

    The fabrication of multi-component hybrid nanostructures is of vital importance because their two-phase interface could provide a rich environment for redox reactions, which are beneficial for enhancing catalytic performance. Inspired by the above consideration, strongly coupled Cu2O@CeO2 core@shell nanostructures have been successfully prepared via a non-organic and Clean aqueous route without using any organic additive. In this process, an auto-catalytic redox reaction occurred on the two-phase interface, followed by a triggered self-assembly process. Additionally, the size, morphology and composition of the as-obtained nanostructures can be tuned well by varying the reaction temperature, as well as the species and the amount of Cu precursors. The catalytic tests for peroxidase-like activity and CO oxidation have been conducted in detail, and the results confirm a strong synergistic effect at the interface sites between the CeO2 and Cu2O components.

  • pt ceo2 multicore shell self assembled nanospheres Clean Synthesis structure optimization and catalytic applications
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013
    Co-Authors: Xiao Wang, Dapeng Liu, Shuyan Song, Hongjie Zhang
    Abstract:

    A Clean nonorganic synthetic method has been developed to fabricate the uniform pomegranate-like Pt@CeO2 multicore@shell nanospheres in a large scale. Under the effective protection of Ar atmosphere the redox reaction just simply happened between Ce(NO3)3 and K2PtCl4 in an alkaline aqueous solution, in which no other reducing agents or surfactants were added. The as-obtained nanospheres exhibited excellent structure stability even being calcined at 600 °C for 5 h. Moreover, the as-obtained Pt@CeO2 multicore@shell nanospheres can be further supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) to form heterogeneous nanocatalyst, which has been successfully applied in the chemical reduction reaction of nitrophenol (NP) by ammonia borane (NH3BH3, dubbed as AB) instead of hazardous H2 or NaBH4.
