TL;DR: In this article, an electrochemical catalyzation technique for producing gas-diffusion electrodes for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) was evaluated.
Abstract: We evaluated an electrochemical catalyzation technique for producing gas-diffusion electrodes for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The electrochemical technique deposits platinum catalyst particles in regions of the electrode that are in ionic contact with the proton-exchange membrane and in electronic contact with the carbon support. Since ionic and electronic contact the amount of platinum required for PEMFC. We present data for oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation with gas-diffusion electrodes containing 0.05 mg Pt/cm 2

TL;DR: In this article, a range of monodisperse nanospheres was obtained by emulsifier-free dispersion copolymerization of styrene with a surface-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) macromonomer.
Abstract: Well-dispersed platinum colloids have been prepared on polystyrene nanospheres with surface-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) via the reduction of PtCl62- by ethanol. A range of monodisperse nanospheres was obtained by emulsifier-free dispersion copolymerization of styrene with a PNIPAAm macromonomer. The surface compositions of the polystyrene nanospheres before and after immobilization of Pt colloids have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Peak fitting of the C 1s core-line spectra provides evidence for the presence of PNIPAAm chains at the surface of polystyrene nanospheres. These immobilized Pt colloids were found to be active and stable heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of allyl alcohol in water. Both the particle size and activity of platinum colloids showed a marked dependence on the level of surface PNIPAAm. The average diameter of an immobilized Pt colloid is 15.0 A and largely unchanged after seven cycles in hydrogenation, as confirmed by TEM. The immo...

TL;DR: The fabrication of single-atom Pt1δ+/TiO2 catalyst accomplishes a reasonable use of Pt through recycling and maximum atom-utilized efficiency, indicating the potential to achieve a green hydrosilylation industry.
Abstract: The hydrosilylation reaction is one of the largest-scale application of homogeneous catalysis and is widely used to enable the commercial manufacture of silicon products. However, considerable issues including disposable platinum consumption, undesired side reactions and unacceptable catalyst residues still remain. Here, we synthesize a heterogeneous partially charged single-atom platinum supported on anatase TiO2 (Pt1δ+/TiO2) catalyst via an electrostatic-induction ion exchange and two-dimensional confinement strategy, which can catalyze hydrosilylation reaction with almost complete conversion and produce exclusive adduct. Density functional theory calculations reveal that unexpected property of Pt1δ+/TiO2 originates from atomic dispersion of active species and unique partially positive charge Ptδ+ electronic structure that conventional nanocatalysts do not possess. The fabrication of single-atom Pt1δ+/TiO2 catalyst accomplishes a reasonable use of Pt through recycling and maximum atom-utilized efficienc...

TL;DR: In this article, changes in resistivity and chemical changes in reducing gases were measured for porous zinc oxide ceramics with and without a platinum catalyst at 300° and 400°C to examine the gas sensing mechanism and the effect of platinum additions.
Abstract: Changes in resistivity and chemical changes in reducing gases were measured for porous zinc oxide ceramics with and without a platinum catalyst at 300° and 400°C to examine the gas sensing mechanism and the effect of platinum additions. Reducing gases were oxidized to CO2 and Hz2 on the sensor surfaces. Platinum addition promoted the oxidation of reducing gases but did not lead to an increase in the resistivity change at 400°C. The reaction sequences for the gas sensing process are proposed, taking into account partially oxidized intermediates of hydrocarbons and oxidation on platinum without an electron transfer process.
