AbstractIn our study, thermosensitive core-shell microgel particles have been used as the carrier system for the deposition of metal nanoparticles, in which the core consists of polystyrene (PS) whereas the shell consists of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) network crosslinked by N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). Silver, gold and palladium nanoparticles have been homogeneously embedded into thermosensitive PNIPA-networks, respectively. We demonstrate that the catalytic activity of the microgel-metal nanocomposites can be tuned by the volume transition within the microgel of these systems by using the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol as the model reaction. Moreover, following the concept of a “green chemistry”, the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones can be carried out in aqueous solution under aerobic conditions at room temperature by using microgel-metal nanocomposites as the catalyst. The influence of temperature on the catalytic activity has been also investigated, which will be affected both by the volume transition of the microgel and by the change of polarity of the microgel in this case.

Abstract Catalysts made of in-situ exsolved metal nanoparticles often demonstrate promising activity and high stability in many applications. However, the design of these catalysts is greatly constrained by the classic exsolution mechanism, which occurs almost exclusively through substitutional metal-doping in perovskites. Here we show that metal nanoparticles can also be in-situ exsolved from interstitially doped metal cations in a NiOOH supporting framework with the guidance of theoretical calculation. The exsolution can be conducted swiftly at room temperature. A novel copper nanocatalyst prepared with this approach have a quasi-uniform size of 4 nm delivering an exceptional CO faradaic efficiency of 95.6% with a notable durability for the electrochemical reduction of CO2. This design principle is further proven to be generally applicable to other metals and foregrounded for guiding the development of advanced catalytic materials.
