Dynamic Metal–Support Interaction Dictates Cu Nanoparticle Sintering on Al 2 O 3 Surfaces

Nanoparticle sintering remains a critical challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, we present a unified deep potential (DP) model based on the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof approximation of density functional theory for Cu nanoparticles on three Al 2 O 3 surfaces (γ-Al 2 O 3 (100), γ-Al 2 O 3 (110), and α-Al 2 O 3 (0001)). Using DP-accelerated simulations, we reveal that the nanoparticle size-mobility relationship strongly depends on the supporting surface. The diffusion of nanoparticles on the two γ-Al 2 O 3 surfaces is almost independent of the size of the nanoparticle, while the diffusion on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) decreases rapidly with increasing size. Interestingly, nanoparticles with fewer than 55 atoms diffuse several times faster on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) than on γ-Al 2 O 3 (100) at 800 K while expected to be more sluggish based on their larger binding energy at 0 K. The diffusion on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) is facilitated by dynamic metal–support interaction (MSI), where Al atoms move out of the surface plane to optimize contact with the nanoparticle and relax back to the plane as the nanoparticle moves away. In contrast, the MSI on γ-Al 2 O 3 (100) and on γ-Al 2 O 3 (110) is dominated by more stable and directional Cu–O bonds, consistent with the limited diffusion observed on these surfaces. Our extended MD simulations provide insight into the sintering processes, showing that the dispersity of the nanoparticles strongly influences the coalescence driven by nanoparticle diffusion. We observed that the coalescence of Cu 13 nanoparticles on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) can occur in a short time (10 ns) at 800 K even with an initial internanoparticle distance increased to 3 nm, while the coalescence on the two γ-Al 2 O 3 surfaces are inhibited significantly by increasing the initial internanoparticle distance. These findings demonstrate that the dynamics of the supporting surface is crucial to understanding the sintering mechanism and offer guidance for designing sinter-resistant catalysts by engineering the support morphology.

Surface Self-Diffusion Induced Sintering of Nanoparticles

Despite the critical role of sintering phenomena in constraining the long-term durability of nanosized particles, a clear understanding of nanoparticle sintering has remained elusive due to the challenges in atomically tracking the neck initiation and discerning different mechanisms. Through the integration of in situ transmission electron microscopy and atomistic modeling, this study uncovers the atomic dynamics governing the neck initiation of Pt–Fe nanoparticles via a surface self-diffusion process, allowing for coalescence without significant particle movement. Real-time imaging reveals that thermally activated surface morphology changes in individual nanoparticles induce significant surface self-diffusion. Further, the kinetic entrapment of self-diffusing atoms in the gaps between closely spaced nanoparticles leads to the nucleation and growth of atomic layers for neck formation. This surface self-diffusion-driven sintering process is activated at a relatively lower temperature compared to the classic Ostwald ripening and particle migration and coalescence processes. The fundamental insights have practical implications for manipulating the morphology, size distribution, and stability of nanostructures by leveraging surface self-diffusion processes.

Extraordinary Thermal Stability and Sinter Resistance of Sub-2 nm Platinum Nanoparticles Anchored to a Carbon Support by Selenium

Nanoparticle sintering has long been a major challenge in developing catalytic systems for use at elevated temperatures. Here we report an in situ electron microscopy study of the extraordinary sinter resistance of a catalytic system comprised of sub-2 nm Pt nanoparticles on a Se-decorated carbon support. When heated to 700 °C, the average size of the Pt nanoparticles only increased from 1.6 to 2.2 nm, while the crystal structure, together with the {111} and {100} facets, of the Pt nanoparticles was well retained. Our electron microscopy analyses suggested that the superior resistance against sintering originated from the Pt–Se interaction. Confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray elemental mapping and electron energy loss spectra, the Se atoms surrounding the Pt nanoparticles could survive the heating. This work not only offers an understanding of the physics behind the thermal behavior of this catalytic material but also sheds light on the future development of sinter-resistant catalytic systems.

Electron energy loss spectroscopy study of ceria sinters and nanoparticles irradiated with swift heavy ions

The electronic energy loss spectra of ceria (CeO 2 ) irradiated with swift heavy ions (27 MeV Xe and 946 MeV Au) in the electronic slowing down regime were measured for bulk sintered samples and nanoparticles by using a double Cs-corrected transmission electron microscope. The low-loss region as well as the core-loss region, including the oxygen K-edge and cerium M 4, 5 white lines, were recorded. No strong lattice disorder was found in the low-loss peaks for both types of samples showing the same bulk oxygen plasmon loss peak at about 15 eV. However, there is a clear evidence of cerium reduction to the trivalent oxidation state after irradiation for the sintered samples as shown by the K-edge shape of oxygen and decrease of the Ce M 4 /M 5 intensity ratio. A similar change of the M 4 /M 5 intensity ratio was observed for the irradiated nanoparticles with respect to the virgin sample owing to the high energy input inside the nanograin. The effect of radiation damage on electron energy loss spectroscopy data is analyzed for both types of samples and irradiation conditions.

Nanoscale Spatial Distribution of Supported Nanoparticles Controls Activity and Stability in Powder Catalysts for CO Oxidation and Photocatalytic H 2 Evolution

Here we discuss, supported metal nanoparticles are essential components of high-performing catalysts, and their structures are intensely researched. In comparison, nanoparticle spatial distribution in powder catalysts is conventionally not quantified, and the influence of this collective property on catalyst performance remains poorly investigated. Here, we demonstrate a general colloidal self-assembly method to control uniformity of nanoparticle spatial distribution on common industrial powder supports. We quantify distributions on the nanoscale using image statistics and show that the type of nanospatial distribution determines not only the stability, but also the activity of heterogeneous catalysts. Widely investigated systems (Au–TiO 2 for CO oxidation thermocatalysis and Pd–TiO 2 for H 2 evolution photocatalysis) were used to showcase the universal importance of nanoparticle spatial organization. Spatially and temporally resolved microkinetic modeling revealed that nonuniformly distributed Au nanoparticles suffer from local depletion of surface oxygen, and therefore lower CO oxidation activity, as compared to uniformly distributed nanoparticles. Nanoparticle spatial distribution also determines the stability of Pd–TiO 2 photocatalysts, because nonuniformly distributed nanoparticles sinter while uniformly distributed nanoparticles do not. This work introduces new tools to evaluate and understand catalyst collective (ensemble) properties in powder catalysts, which thereby pave the way to more active and stable heterogeneous catalysts.

Microdroplet Electrospray Localized Laser Printing and Sintering of Nanoparticles for Passivating, Carrier-Selective Contacts (Final Technical Report)

In this project, the team used a nanoparticle electrospray laser deposition (NELD) process developed at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to address current limitations of passivating, carrier-selective contact technologies for crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) cells. The NELD process was used to print low bulk line resistivity Ag contacts directly onto transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), like indium tin oxide (ITO), for hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based c-Si heterojunction (SHJ) cells without any subsequent contact firing step needed.

Atomic Layer Deposition for Enhanced Reactivity, Stability, and Sulfur Tolerance of Hydrogenation Catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysts are an essential tool in the transition towards a sustainable, bio-based economy for fuels and chemicals. However, many key biomass conversion processes utilize harsh conditions that lead to nanoparticle sintering, support collapse, and metal leaching in conventional PGM catalysts. Active site poisoning resulting from the relatively high sulfur content of most biomass feedstocks further compounds these durability problems. Next-generation catalysts must be developed to address these stability challenges. In this work, we have used atomic layer deposition (ALD), to modify a conventional Pd/Al2O3 hydrogenation catalyst and generate improvements in its stability and sulfur tolerance, as well as overall catalyst activity. Ten cycles of TiO2ALD were applied to Pd/Al2O3 using a proprietary coating process developed by industry partners. The coated catalyst (10cTiO2), alongside uncoated Pd/TiO2 and Pd/Al2O3 controls, was characterized in-depth and naphthalene hydrogenation was used as a probe reaction to assess activity. The 10cTiO2 catalyst was observed to be significantly more active towards hydrogenation than uncoated Pd/Al2O3, despite evidence that the ALD coating suppressed chemisorption uptake through coverage of Pd. In order to reconcile these seemingly contradictory findings, interactions between the Pd nanoparticles and TiO2ALD coating were investigated via XAS and computational modeling. The catalysts were also assessed for their sulfur tolerance, thermal stability, and hydrothermal stability. Each of these catalyst stability parameters was enhanced by application of the TiO2ALD layer; the mechanisms by which the layer may have mitigated these degradation processes will be discussed. ALD technology holds great potential in the development of next-generation catalysts for biofuels and bioproducts and this work constitutes an important examination of the expected and unexpected benefits of applying TiO2ALD coatings to supported Pd hydrogenation catalysts.

Strategies for regeneration of Pt-alloy catalysts supported on silica for propane dehydrogenation

Catalyst stability, resistance to deactivation, and regeneration remain a challenge for high temperature reaction processes. For Pt alloys used in propane dehydrogenation (PDH), the primary pathways of catalyst deactivation include coke formation and metal nanoparticle sintering over time. Recent work shows that silica-supported catalysts provide excellent selectivity for this reaction, but the regenerability of silica-supported catalysts has not been established. In this work, we study a series of Pt alloys, including PtMn, PtZn, and PtSn, for the PDH reaction at 550 °C and 600 °C, and we subject the catalysts to regeneration over multiple cycles. While oxidation in air restores the reactivity completely with minimal catalyst sintering, it is surprising to find that these catalysts can also be regenerated in pure hydrogen. Here we explore the types of coke formed on these catalysts using in situ temperature programmed oxidation (TPO). Two types of coke are found: one on the metallic NP surface, and a second on the silica support. Our work shows that treatment in hydrogen causes redistribution of the coke between the metal and support, which can restore most catalytic activity lost during a reaction run. Finally, periodic introduction of H 2 during a reaction cycle may constitute an unexplored strategy for extending the lifetime of PDH catalysts.

Elucidating interfacial active sites in ruthenium–boron nitride nanotube catalysts for efficient low-temperature ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion

Tailoring the interaction between metal nanoparticles and catalyst support presents a prominent strategy to enhance both the activity and durability in hydrogen (H 2 ) production catalysts. In this work, ruthenium nanoparticles (NPs) supported on boron nitride nanotubes (Ru/BNNT) are introduced as efficient and thermally robust catalysts for low-temperature ammonia (NH 3 ) decomposition. The unique curvature and ionic nature of BNNTs enable uniform Ru dispersion and metal-support interactions (MSIs), resulting in exceptional H 2 generation efficiency and long-term operational stability. In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals remarkable thermal resistance of Ru/BNNT with minimal nanoparticle sintering, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations uncover a dual-site mechanism in which interfacial Ru atoms promote NH 3 dissociation and adjacent Ru sites facilitate 2H* recombination and H 2 desorption. This cooperative interaction between metal NPs and the BNNT support underpins the outstanding catalytic performance and durability observed. In conclusion, the findings highlight the strategic potential of BNNTs as versatile supports for high-performance and stable catalysts in sustainable H 2 energy conversion and related catalytic processes.

Influence of elevated temperature and oxygen on the capture of radioactive iodine by silver functionalized silica aerogel

Reprocessing is considered a competent strategy for spent nuclear fuel management, yet radioiodine ( 129 I) is emitted in reprocessing off-gas as a hazardous byproduct. Silver functionalized silica aerogel (Ag 0 -aerogel), a promising iodine capture material, experiences a reduction in its capacity after prolonged exposure to off-gas components at elevated temperatures, a phenomenon termed as aging. To fully understand this process, we isolated the contribution of each aging factor, exposing Ag 0 -aerogel samples to N 2 and dry air gas streams, respectively, at 150 °C for different time periods. Aged samples were loaded with I 2 to examine the capacity change and comprehensively characterized to investigate the evolution of their properties. Results show that temperature alone did not alter Ag 0 -aerogel's capacity but triggered Ag 0 nanoparticles sintering and generated organic sulfur species. The presence of O 2 reduced the capacity by ~20 %, causing (i) formation of silver sulfide (Ag 2 S) crystals and (ii) oxidation of Ag-thiolate (Ag-S-r) to Ag sulfonate (Ag-SO 3 -r). Given that Ag 2 S readily adsorbs I 2 , the formation of Ag-SO 3 -r is the major inhibitor for iodine adsorption. This hypothesis was supported by density functional theory (DFT) simulations. These findings unraveled key mechanisms of Ag 0 -aerogel aging, which are useful in the development of materials that withstand realistic spent-nuclear-fuel-reprocessing off-gas conditions.

Surface Basic Site Effect on Boron-Promoted Platinum Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Methane

Platinum has been shown to be an active catalyst for the dry reforming of methane (DRM), which converts CO 2 and CH 4 into 2CO and 2H 2 (synthesis gases) that can further be processed to produce valuable chemical feedstocks. Catalytic activity is often improved by the addition of promoter atoms, which are typically transition metals or noble metals, such as PtNi and PtSn. Recently, boron has shown to be an effective and low-cost catalyst promoter. Pt/B/SiO 2 catalysts were prepared for DRM catalysis and compared with Pt/SiO 2 catalysts without boron promotion. Both catalysts had similar surface concentrations of platinum, but the catalytic activity at 750 °C after 14 h for boron-containing catalyst was very high, resulting in nearly 100% CO 2 conversion and a H 2 /CO ratio close to unity, compared to 12% CO 2 conversion and H 2 /CO of 0.35 for boron-free Pt/SiO 2 . The catalysts were investigated with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and CO 2 temperature-programmed desorption (CO 2 -TPD) to identify the deactivating factors. It was determined that neither platinum nanoparticle sintering nor coking was a significant factor in catalyst deactivation; instead, boron had an effect on the reactive surface groups on the SiO 2 support. Finally, these surface groups, such as hydroxyls and surface basic sites, enhance the adsorption of CO 2 and potentially stabilize intermediate carbonate species, resulting in a high CO 2 conversion for boron-promoted platinum catalysts.

Mechanistic Insights into Nonoxidative Ethanol Dehydrogenation on NiCu Single-Atom Alloys

Ethanol dehydrogenation presents a promising pathway towards the production of acetaldehyde, a valuable building block in chemicals production. Under non-oxidative conditions, the reaction is facilitated by supported Cu nanoparticles which afford reasonable activity and high selectivity. The stability issues associated with Cu nanoparticle sintering can be addressed by the addition of small amounts of Ni, which further boost reactivity while retaining selectivity. Despite the promise of NiCu single-atom alloys for non-oxidative ethanol dehydrogenation, little is known about the role of each component and the pathway of this mechanistically complex process. Herein, kinetic investigations from reactor tests identify C-H bond scission as the rate limiting step, while 1-hydroxyethyl is detected as the intermediate via IR spectroscopy. Temperature program desorption studies are employed to examine the effect of Ni coverage and to demonstrate that Ni atoms activate ethanol selectively at lower temperatures, resulting in higher acetaldehyde yield than pure Cu. Temperature program desorption experiments also reveal the spillover of intermediates from the Ni atom to neighboring Cu sites as a relevant step in the reaction pathway. Density functional theory calculations are used to investigate the 2 reaction energetics and to confirm that C-H bond scission is the initial reaction step, while a clear effect of H 2 partial pressure on the reaction pathway is realized. Further, counter to the expected behavior that all reaction steps take place on the Ni atoms, our degree of rate control analysis reveals that a mechanism involving spillover of the 1-hydroxyethyl intermediate from the Ni atom to the Cu surface, where it will dehydrogenate further, is more likely. Furthermore, our combined kinetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical approach sheds light on this complex reaction mechanism and represents a promising method for the understanding and designing of highly active, selective, and stable single-atom alloys for other multistep catalytic processes.

Structural Evolution and Stability of Rh/TiO 2 Catalysts under CO 2 Hydrogenation Conditions: Influence of the Initial Rh Structure

Characterizing catalyst stability by identifying the predominant mechanisms, timescales and driving forces of catalyst reconstruction under relevant reaction conditions is necessary for the design and commercialization of new catalysts. Here, in this paper, we study Rh/TiO 2 catalysts under CO 2 hydrogenation conditions (773 K, 75% H 2 , 25% CO 2 ) at high conversion and utilize reactivity studies along with ex-situ and in-situ spectroscopy and microscopy to characterize changes in catalyst activity and structure as a function of time on stream and the initial catalyst structure. This is a prototypical catalyst for CO 2 hydrogenation where Rh structure and Rh-TiO 2 interactions have been proposed to explain reactivity, selectivity (between CO and CH 4 formation) and catalyst stability. The influence of the initial Rh structure (varying from Rh single atoms to Rh nanoparticles), support stability, regeneration and pretreatment(s), and the chemical potential(s) of the reaction environment on reaction selectivity and catalyst stability were explored. The product selectivity between CO and CH 4 was determined to be dependent on the relative fraction of Rh single atoms and Rh nanoparticle-TiO 2 interfacial sites under reaction conditions, each exhibiting distinct stability under prolonged time on stream. Surprisingly, Rh single atoms exhibited stability for the duration of 90 h reactivity measurements, even at high Rh density (≥ 1.8 Rh atoms/nm 2 ) on the support, while Rh nanoparticles sintered under reaction conditions. As a result, all catalysts exhibited increasing selectivity to CO with increasing time on stream (> 10 h). We conclude the distribution of Rh structures evolved over time under reaction conditions through three distinct reconstruction mechanisms (Rh particle fragmentation, Ostwald ripening, and particle migration and coalescence) that occurred on varying timescales. Catalyst stability on the ~90 h time scale was ultimately controlled by the initial Rh structure.

Atomic Layer Deposition for Enhanced Reactivity and Stability of Biomass Conversion Catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysts are an essential tool in the transition towards a sustainable, bio-based economy for fuels and chemicals. However, the harsh conditions (e.g., high temperatures, acidity, oxidizing/reducing environments) of many key biomass conversion processes give rise to nanoparticle sintering, support collapse, and metal leaching in conventional PGM catalysts. Active site poisoning due to the relatively high sulfur content of most biomass feedstocks further compounds these durability problems. Next-generation catalysts must be developed to address these stability challenges. In this work, we used a scalable atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to modify conventional Pd-based hydrogenation catalysts to generate significant performance improvements. TiO2 ALD coatings were found to increase the activity of Pd/Al2O3 catalysts towards naphthalene hydrogenation; additionally, these coatings improved the catalyst's resistance to sulfur poisoning and thermal stability under oxidative calcination. Additional work in which Al2O3 ALD coatings were applied to Pd/TiO2 catalysts for muconic acid hydrogenation found similar stability benefits, including improved resistance to Pd leaching in the acidic environment. ALD technology holds great potential in the development of next-generation catalysts for biofuels and bioproducts and this work constitutes an important examination of applying ALD coatings to supported Pd hydrogenation catalysts.

Atomic Layer Deposition for Improved Biomass Conversion Catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysts are a key enabler of the transition towards a sustainable, bio-based economy for fuels and chemicals. However, the harsh conditions in many biomass conversion processes lead to nanoparticle sintering, support collapse, and metal leaching in conventional PGM catalysts. Next-generation catalysts must be developed to address these stability challenges. This presentation will discuss ongoing work between the Catalytic Carbon Transformation and Scale-Up Center at NREL and various industrial partners to develop scalable and cost-effective atomic layer deposition (ALD) coatings for improving the performance of biomass conversion catalysts. The substantial focus will be devoted to the benefits of TiO2 ALD coatings on supported Pd hydrogenation catalysts. Ten cycles of TiO2 ALD were found to dramatically improve the activity of a conventional Pd/Al2O3 catalyst towards aromatic hydrogenation, despite partial coverage of the Pd sites by the ALD layer. Subsequent advanced characterization and atomic-scale computational modeling revealed that the ALD coating weakened the adsorption strength of hydrogenation surface intermediates, leading to higher reaction rates. Reaction testing after exposure to sulfur impurities, high temperature oxidation, and hydrothermal treatment demonstrated the improved stability of the ALD-coated catalyst. Additionally, the ALD synthesis process was found to be scalable over two orders of magnitude with minimal deviation in synthesized catalyst properties. These results were contextualized with cost models of industrial ALD coating and aromatic hydrogenation processes to further refine the value proposition of ALD coatings. Given the demonstrated improvements in hydrogenation, TiO2 ALD coatings have also been applied to supported Pt catalysts for use in other biomass conversion reactions, such as hydrodeoxygenation for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the oxidation of glucose to bio-derived gluconic acid.
