Highly stable and active low-temperature CO oxidation catalysts without noble metals are desirable to achieve a sustainable society. While zero-dimensional to three-dimensional Co3O4 nanoparticles show high catalytic activity, simple-structured nanocrystals easily self-aggregate and become sintered during catalytic reaction. Thus, complex three-dimensional nanostructures with high stability are of considerable interest. However, the controlled synthesis of complex nanoscale shapes remains a great challenge as no synthesis theory has been established. In this study, 100 nm raspberry-shaped nanoparticles composed of 7–8 nm Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermally treating cobalt glycolate solution with sodium sulfate. Surface single nanometer-scale structures with large surface areas of 89 m2·g−1 and abundant oxygen vacancies were produced. The sulfate ions functioned as bridging ligands to promote self-assembly and suppress particle growth. The Co3O4 nano-raspberry was highly stable under catalytic tests at 350 °C and achieved nearly 100% CO conversion at room temperature. The addition of bridging ligands is an effective method to control the formation of complex but ordered three-dimensional nanostructures that possessed extreme thermal and chemical stability and exhibited high performance.

AbstractAlloying has been one of the strategies to develop alternatives to Pt based CO oxidation catalyst. PdAu bimetallic alloy has recently been shown to have better reactivity and thermal stability toward CO oxidation for diesel engine applications as compared to pure metal catalysts. The key factor for low temperature light off in diesel engine catalysis is reactivity of alloy catalysts under CO environment, which in turn depends on the alloy surface composition and morphology. We explored the segregation processes in bimetallic Pd-Au alloy using first-principles calculations, assisted by a Monte-Carlo (MC) scheme that combines an improved Embedded Atom Method (EAM) and an atomistic treatment for adsorbed CO molecules for searching low energy states. Our simulation results show that PdAu surface changes from Au-rich to Pd-rich with increase in CO coverage up to 0.75 ML, beyond which additional CO adsorption is no longer favorable. A quantitative relationship between CO coverage and Pd concentrations on the surface is also revealed.
