Abstract

Platinum nanoparticle catalysts are essential for achieving energy-efficient and greener chemical processes that involve breaking or establishing of H−H, C−H, or O−H bonds. In this work, we report an innovative top-down strategy to prepare the supported Pt nanoparticles with an average size of 2 nm, starting directly from bulk metallic Pt by metallurgical method. Bulk platinum was dissolved in liquid lithium and ruptured into nanoparticles. This Li−Pt liquid alloy was quenched into Li−Pt solid solution. The lithium content was further converted into LiOH. The resulting powder of Pt nanoparticles in LiOH can be mixed with any nonaqueous support materials. Thereafter, the LiOH can be selectively leached off by water, allowing Pt nanoparticles to be adsorbed on the desired support material. Transmission electron microscope and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses demonstrated that the as-formed Pt nanoparticles have an average size of around 2 nm. The carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles prepared by this method inherit more characteristics of their bulk counterparts so that high specific catalytic activity of bulk Pt is maintained, which is confirmed by a preliminary electrocatalytic characterization of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

Is what we see based on what we believe?

by PositiveOption

Because I believe
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
That means I see that, because the cell's nanotechnology and complexity on multiple levels is unmatched by all the engineers on the earth combined, it is a paradox if it comes from a natural cause
But Science does not they say there two ways to get a efficient design?
1.Designers apply their energy and intelligence to trial and error and create a efficient design like the motor of the space shuttle
2

It is a trust in knowlede and it's source

Nanotechnology is not ready . how about

by bionecr

People move some of their interest to something that could be ready sooner. Nanotechnology has been given alot of press, and that may have caused us to over look the possibilities of accupuncture. Or most people are idiots and a small percentage of us do most of the creative thinking Why havent we brought the technique of accupuncture into the 21st century. Hollow micro needles delivering anti biotics to localized areas of the body, or chemotherapy delivered into the closest cappilaries. Such a waste of accupuncturists today. What if this technique were used in areas around the lungs for tuberculosis would we have cleared up infections with less risk of creating drug esistant strains

Carbon-based nanostructures are already being used as materials in solar cells with increasing frequency, yet their ability to enhance electrical performance has thus far been hampered by limited ability to assemble orderly networks using the materials.
