Nanoporous copper is fabricated by dealloying the amorphous Ti2Cu alloy in 0.03 M HF electrolyte. The pore and ligament sizes of the nanoporous copper can be readily tailored by controlling the dealloying time. The as-prepared nanoporous copper provides fine and uniform nanoflowerpots to grow highly dispersed Au nanoflowers. The blooming Au nanoflowers in the nanoporous copper flowerpots exhibit both high catalytic activity and stability towards the oxidation of glucose, indicating that the amorphous alloys are ideal precursors to form nanoflowerpot which can grow functional nanoflowers.

Highly dispersed supported gold catalysts have been prepared by solution reduction method using L-lysine as protection agents, and their catalytic activity was evaluated by the liquid phase catalytic oxidation reaction of glucose to gluconic acid. The results suggested that the Au/ZrO2 catalyst, exhibited high activity for the selective oxidation of glucose. At the reaction temperature of 323K, reaction time of 1h, with the NaCO3-NaHCO3 as buffer solution, the yield of gluconic acid was 100%.

The detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is essential in many research fields, including medical diagnosis, food safety, and environmental monitoring. In this context, Au-based bimetallic alloy nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention as an alternative to enzymes due to their superior catalytic activity. In this study, we report a coreduction synthesis of gold–copper (Au–Cu) alloy nanoparticles in aqueous phase. By controlling the amount of Au and Cu precursors, the Au/Cu molar ratio of the nanoparticles can be tuned from 1/0.1 to 1/2. The synthesized Au–Cu alloy nanoparticles show good peroxidase-like catalytic activity and high selectivity for the H2O2-mediated oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB, colorless) to TMB oxide (blue). The Au–Cu nanoparticles with an Au/Cu molar ratio of 1/2 exhibit high catalytic activity in the H2O2 colorimetric detection, with a limit of detection of 0.141 μM in the linear range of 1–10 μM and a correlation coefficient R2 = 0.991. Furthermore, the Au–Cu alloy nanoparticles can also efficiently detect glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase (GOx), and the detection limit is as low as 0.26 μM.

Abstract Heterogeneous acid and base catalysts play a crucial role in many important chemical processes. Hard Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts like silica-alumina and zeolites have been widely applied in numerous reactions; however, developing reusable and active soft Lewis acid catalysts remain a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that a highly dispersed supported platinum catalyst can act as a heterogeneous soft Lewis acid. High turnover numbers and reusability were observed in the isomerization of allylic esters under solvent-free conditions. Moreover, the as-prepared catalysts are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses, revealing that the highly dispersed Pt clusters with Pt–Cl bonds play a key role in the high activity. The residual chloride anion enhances the Lewis acidity of the Pt metal center and thus improves the catalytic activity. Simultaneously, the high catalytic activity of Pt/CeO2 with residual chloride and the soft Lewis acid mechanism are also proved by density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on the model reaction.
