Self-Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles at the Surface of Amine- and Thiol-Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Gold nanoparticles have been self-assembled at the surface of both amine-and thiol-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in solution. The chemical functionalization of the surface of the BNNTs was achieved following ammonia plasma irradiation in order to generate amine functional groups at the surface of the BNNTs. The amine-functionalized BNNTs (AF-BNNTs) were then covalently modified by the coupling of short-chain thiol-terminated organic molecules to result in thiol-functionalized BNNTs. The functionalization of the BNNTs was characterized using XPS, FT-IR spectroscopy, and EDS, whereas the nanoparticle-nanotube assemblies were characterized using HR-TEM and EELS. This approach constitutes a basis for the preparation of highly functionalized BNNTs and their utilization as nanoscale templates for assembly and integration with other nanoscale materials.

“…Vidal-Iglesias et al [38] found that Pt 75 Ir 25 NPs showed, in the low potential range, an enhancement of the ammonia oxidation current compared with the pure Pt NPs prepared by the same method. It has also been reported that the addition of Ir significantly improves the performance of the PtRuIr catalyst for methanol oxidation [40]. The ORR kinetic analysis by the rotating disk electrode showed that alloying Pt with Ir, especially with 5-20 wt% Ir, enhanced the catalytic activity for the ORR by a factor of more than 1.5 [43].…”

Pt-Ir nanocubes with (100)-terminated facets were synthesized for the first time and their unusual high electrocatalytic activity for a model reaction (i.e., ammonia oxidation) was reported. The key parameters in controlling the shape of the PtIr nanocubes were systematically investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrocatalytic activities of the prepared Pt-Ir and pure Pt nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results showed that the amount of W(CO) 6 and the volume ratio of oleylamine and oleic acid play a significant role in the development of well-defined Pt-Ir nanocubes. The resultant Pt-Ir nanocubes exhibit (100) orientation, which has been confirmed by not only the structural characterization results from high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) but also hydrogen desorption profiles obtained from the CV measurements in H 2 SO 4 solution. Lattice contraction of the Pt-Ir nanocubes were suggested by HRTEM and XRD measurements, and the electronic interactions between Pt and Ir in the Pt-Ir nanocubes were demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Pt-Ir nanocubes show higher specific activity than pure Pt nanocubes and much higher specific activity than the polycrystalline Pt-Ir NPs. The much improved specific activity of the Pt-Ir nanocubes could be attributed to the reason that the introduction of Ir in the Pt-Ir nanocubes largely maintains the highly active Pt (100) sites and thus a positive synergistic effect through the addition of Ir to Pt could be achieved due to the possible bifunctional mechanism and the electronic effect.

“…The method involves the impregnation of the support material with a salt solution containing the metal to be deposited, followed by a reduction step (Asano et al, 2006;Liao et al, 2006;Lordi et al, 2001). During an impregnation process, metal ions are initially adsorbed to the surface of functionalized CNTs by homogeneously mixing CNTs with the metal precursors in a solution.…”
