Investigation of Fe–P–B ultrafine amorphous nanomaterials: Influence of synthesis parameters on physicochemical and catalytic properties

Ferric phosphide nanoparticles film supported on titanium plate: A high-performance hydrogen evolution cathode in both acidic and neutral solutions

“…The peaks at 711.9 and 133.6 eV can be assigned to oxidized Fe and P species arising from superficial oxidation of FeP exposed to air [37]. The Fe 2p BE of 707.4 eV is positively shifted from that of metallic Fe (706.8 eV) [38], indicating Fe in FeP carries a partial positive charge (d þ ). While the P 2p BE of 129.5 eV shows negative shift from that of elemental P (130.2 eV) [39], suggesting P in FeP carries a partial negative charge (d À ).…”

Hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene over NiPtB nanoalloy catalysts

“…It is also not clear if the two metals form alloys, if surface segregation of one element occurs, or if the two elements are randomly distributed on the surface of the catalyst. Nanoalloy catalysts [9][10][11][12][13][14] have attracted a great deal of attention due to their excellent activity and selectivity in many hydrogenation reactions [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Generally speaking, nanoalloys can be prepared by a rapid quenching technique [23] or by co-sputtering method.…”

Synthesis and catalysis of chemically reduced metal–metalloid amorphous alloys

“…272,277 Moreover, Fe-P-B exhibited higher weight specific activity than Fe-P and Fe-B. 278 5.7.3 Oxidation. Oxidation of CO has attracted much attention because of its relevance to many industrial applications.…”
