High Performance Au–Pd Supported on 3D Hybrid Strontium-Substituted Lanthanum Manganite Perovskite Catalyst for Methane Combustion

Abstract: Bimetallic Au–Pd alloy nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on nanohybrid three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 (LSMO) perovskite catalysts were fabricated via the l-lysine-mediated colloidal crystal-templating and reduction routes. The obtained AuPd/3DOM LSMO samples possess a nanovoid-like 3DOM construction with well-dispersed Au–Pd alloy NPs (2.05–2.35 nm in size) on the internal walls of the macropores. The Au–Pd alloy presence favored catalytic activity for methane combustion. The 3DOM LSMO support exhibits three key attributes: (i) a large surface area (32.0–33.8 m2/g) which aids high dispersion of the noble metal NPs on the support surface; (ii) abundant Bronsted acid sites which facilitate reactant adsorption and activation; and (iii) thermal stability. AuPd/3DOM LSMO has been synthesized with beneficial properties, including a richness of adsorbed oxygen species, increased oxidized noble metal species, low-temperature reducibility, and strong noble metal–3DOM LSMO interaction, al...

Random laser based on waveguided plasmonic gain channels.

Abstract: A waveguide-plasmonic scheme is constructed by coating the matrix of randomly distributed gold nanoisland structures with a layer of dye-doped polymer, which provides strong feedback or gain channels for the emission from the dye molecules and enables successful running of a random laser. Excellent overlap of the plasmonic resonance of the gold nanoislands with the photoluminescence spectrum of the dye molecules and the strong confinement mechanism provided by the active waveguide layer are the key essentials for the narrow-band and low-threshold operation of this random laser. This kind of feedback configuration potentially enables directional output from such random lasers. The flexible solution-processable fabrication of the plasmonic gold nanostructures not only enables easy realization of such a random laser but also provides mechanisms for the tuning and multicolor operation of the laser emission.

In Situ Observation of Dislocation Behavior in Nanometer Grains

Abstract: Using a newly developed nanoscale deformation device, atomic scale and time-resolved dislocation dynamics have been captured in situ under a transmission electron microscope during the deformation of a Pt ultrathin film with truly nanometer grains (diameter d< ~ 10 nm). We demonstrate that dislocations are highly active even in such tiny grains. For the larger grains (d ~ 10 nm), full dislocations dominate and their evolution sometimes leads to the formation, destruction, and reformation of Lomer locks. In smaller grains, partial dislocations generating stacking faults are prevalent.
