Rich Content

The selective enhancement of catalytic activity is a challenging task, as catalyst modification is generally accompanied by both desirable and undesirable properties. For example, in the case of the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, Pt on Pd improves hydrogen conversion, but lowers hydrogen peroxide selectivity, whereas Au on Pd enhances hydrogen peroxide selectivity but decreases hydrogen conversion. Toward an ideal catalytic property, the development of a catalyst that is capable of improving H-H dissociation for increasing H2 conversion, whilst suppressing O-O dissociation for high H2O2 selectivity would be highly beneficial. Pd-core AuPt-bimetallic shell nanoparticles with a nano-sized bimetallic layer composed of Au-rich or Pt-rich content with Pd cubes were readily prepared via the direct seed-mediated growth method. In the Pd-core AuPt-bimetallic shell nanoparticles, Au was predominantly located on the {100} facets of the Pd nanocubes, whereas Pt was deposited on the corners of the Pd nanocubes. The evaluation of Pd-core AuPt-bimetallic shell nanoparticles with varying Au and Pt contents revealed that Pd-core AuPt-bimetallic shell that was composed of 2.5 mol% Au and 5 mol% Pt, in relation to Pd, exhibited the highest H2O2 production rate (914 mmol H2O2 gmetal−1 h−1), due to the improvement of both H2O2 selectivity and H2 conversion.

AbstractPhysical and electrochemical properties of Pd catalysts combined with Ru and Mo on carbon support were investigated. To this end, Pd, Pd1.3Ru1.0, Pd3.2Ru1.3Mo1.0 and Pd1.5Ru0.8Mo1.0 were synthesized on Carbon Vulcan XC72 support by the method of thermal decomposition of polymeric precursors and then physically and electrochemically characterized. The highest reaction yields are obtained for Pd3.2Ru1.3Mo1.0/C and Pd1.5Ru0.8Mo1.0/C and, as demonstrated by thermal analysis, they also show the smallest metal/carbon ratio compared the other catalysts. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) and Raman analyses show the presence of PdO and RuO2 for the Pd/C and the Pd1.3Ru1.0/C catalysts, respectively, a fact not observed for the Pd3.2Ru1.3 Mo1.0 /C and the Pd1.5Ru0.8Mo1.0/C catalysts. The catalytic activities were tested for the ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows Pd1.3Ru1.0/C exhibiting the highest peak of current density, followed by Pd3.2Ru1.3Mo1.0/C, Pd1.5Ru0.8Mo1.0/C and Pd/C. From, chronoamperometry (CA), it is possible to observe the lowest rate of poisoning for the Pd1.3Ru1.0/C, followed by Pd3.2Ru1.3Mo1.0/C, Pd1.5Ru0.8Mo1.0/C and Pd/C. These results suggested that catalytic activity of the binary and the ternary catalysts are improved in comparison with Pd/C. The presence of RuO2 activated the bifunctional mechanism and improved the catalytic activity in the Pd1.3Ru1.0/C catalyst. The addition of Mo in the catalysts enhanced the catalytic activity by the intrinsic mechanism, suggesting a synergistic effect between metals. In summary, we suggest that it is possible to synthesize ternary PdRuMo catalysts supported on Carbon Vulcan XC72, resulting in materials with lower poisoning rates and lower costs than Pd/C.

Drug Metabolising Enzymes

Folivore marsupials, such as brushtail possum (Trichosurus Vulpecula) and koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), can metabolise higher levels of dietary terpenes, such as cineole, that are toxic to eutherian mammals. While the highly efficient drug metabolising enzymes, cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and phase II conjugating enzymes (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, UGT), are involved in the metabolism of high levels of dietary terpenes, evidence for inhibitory actions on these enzymes by these terpenes is scant. Thus, this study investigated the effect of cineole and its derivatives on catalytic activities of hepatic CYP3A and UGT in mice, rats, and possums. Results showed that cineole (up to 50 µM) and its derivatives (up to 25 µM) did not significantly inhibit CYP3A and UGT activities in mice, rats, and possums (both in silico and in vitro). Interestingly, basal hepatic CYP3A catalytic activity in the possums was ~20% lower than that in rats and mice. In contrast, possums had ~2-fold higher UGT catalytic activity when compared to mice and rats. Thus, these basal enzymatic differences may be further exploited in future pest management strategies.
