Over the past few years, various nanoparticle-supported precious metal-based catalysts have been investigated to reduce the emission of harmful substances from automobiles. Generally, precious metal nanoparticle-based exhaust gas catalysts are prepared using the impregnation method. However, these catalysts suffer from the low catalytic activity of the precious metal nanoparticles involved. Therefore, in this study, we developed a novel method for preparing highly efficient glass fiber-supported Pt nanoparticle catalysts. We uniformly deposited a single layer of platinum particles on the support surface using a chemically adsorbed monomolecular film. The octane combustion performance of the resulting catalyst was compared with that of a commercial catalyst. The precious metal loading ratio of the proposed catalyst was approximately seven times that of the commercial catalyst. Approximately one-twelfth of the mass of the proposed catalyst exhibited a performance comparable to that of the commercial catalyst. Thus, the synthesis method used herein can be used to reduce the weight, size, and manufacturing cost of exhaust gas purification devices used in cars.

AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.
