“…Generally, the larger the metal NPs are, the more difficult it is for these materials to disintegrate, and more energy is needed to prevent smaller particles from reaggregating, , according to Monte Carlo models. ,, Ding et al reported that Rh NPs with a size of approximately 5 nm can be dispersed into isolated Rh mononuclear complexes on an active carbon support, while Ir NPs larger than approximately 6 nm are difficult to disperse due to strong Ir–Ir bonds and the resulting kinetic stability of Ir NPs . Au particles larger than 10 nm were also very difficult to disperse. ,, In addition, some molecules with lone-pair electrons such as CO, O 2 , and NO could coordinate with the surface metal ions of NPs, reducing their specific energy and weakening their interaction with the parent matrix during the atomic dispersion of NPs. , Furthermore, chlorination, oxychlorination, − and halogenated hydrocarbon treatment ,− for the redispersion of metal NPs have been discussed previously. However, urgent issues remain, including high energy consumption, particle size limitation, and subsequent recoalescence of exfoliated metal atoms, especially after removing the dispersants or induced species.…”
