We performed a systematic study of CO oxidation on a single Pt atom supported on penta-graphene (Pt/PG) by utilizing spin-polarized first-principles calculations. The results manifested that Pt/PG, as a single-atom catalyst, exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward CO oxidation and provided a novel strategy for the design of single-atom catalysts based on penta-graphene.

Bimetallic metal nanoparticles are often more catalytically active than their monometallic counterparts, due to a so-called ‘synergistic effect’. Atomically precise ruthenium-platinum clusters have been shown to be active in the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene (a reaction of importance to the polymer industry). However, the synthesis of these clusters is generally complex, and cannot be modified to produce clusters with differing metal compositions or ratios. Hence, any truly systematic study of compositional effects using such clusters is hindered by the inaccessibility of certain metal ratios. In this study, a series of larger bimetallic ruthenium-platinum colloids of varying metal ratios was synthesised in solution and immobilised on silica. Catalytic activity was evaluated by hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene. Both bimetallic and monometallic colloids were active catalysts for the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene and further to ethylbenzene. Of those studied, a catalyst composed of 73 % platinum-27 % ruthenium (by moles) showed the highest activity. This suggests that synergistic effects play an important role in the catalysis of this reaction. To our knowledge this is the first systematic study of ruthenium-platinum nanoparticle catalytic activity on this reaction.

Rare-earth phosphates are of particular interest because of their catalytic properties associated with the hydrolysis of many aromatic chlorides in the petroleum industry. Lanthanum phosphates (LaPO4) which have been doped with small amounts of copper have shown increased catalytic activity (1). However the physical and chemical characteristics of the samples leading to good catalytic activity are not known.Many catalysts are amorphous and thus do not easily lend themselves to methods of investigation which would include electron microscopy. However, the LaPO4, crystals are quite suitable samples for high resolution techniques.The samples used were obtained from William L. Kehl of Gulf Research and Development Company. The electron microscopy was carried out on a JEOL JEM-100B which had been modified for high resolution microscopy (2). Standard high resolution techniques were employed. Three different sample types were observed: 669A-1-5-7 (poor catalyst), H-L-2 (good catalyst) and 27-011 (good catalyst).

As interest for parallel EELS spectrum imaging grows in laboratories equipped with commercial spectrometers, different approaches were used in recent years by a few research groups in the development of the technique of spectrum imaging as reported in the literature. Either by controlling, with a personal computer both the microsope and the spectrometer or using more powerful workstations interfaced to conventional multichannel analysers with commercially available programs to control the microscope and the spectrometer, spectrum images can now be obtained. Work on the limits of the technique, in terms of the quantitative performance was reported, however, by the present author where a systematic study of artifacts detection limits, statistical errors as a function of desired spatial resolution and range of chemical elements to be studied in a map was carried out The aim of the present paper is to show an application of quantitative parallel EELS spectrum imaging where statistical analysis is performed at each pixel and interpretation is carried out using criteria established from the statistical analysis and variations in composition are analyzed with the help of information retreived from t/γ maps so that artifacts are avoided.
