J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:543-552. [PMID: 38820839 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Designing and constructing the active center of Ru-based catalysts is the key to efficient hydrolysis of ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) for hydrogen production. Herein, V-doped Ru/Ti2.5V0.5C2 dual-active center catalysts were synthesized, showing excellent catalytic ability for AB hydrolysis. The corresponding turnover frequency value was 1072 min-1 at 298 K, and the hydrolysis rate rB of AB was 235 × 103 mL·min-1·gRu-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicated that the interaction between V-doped Ti3C2 and catalytic metal Ru transfers electrons from Ti to Ru, resulting in electron-rich Ru species. According to density functional theory calculations, the activation energy and reaction dissociation energy of the reactants AB and H2O on V-doped catalysts were lower than those of Ru/Ti3C2, thus optimizing the catalytic kinetics of AB hydrolysis. The modification strategy of V-doped Ti3C2 provides a new pathway for the development of high-performance catalysts for AB hydrolysis.

Abstract
High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles are promising catalyst candidates for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report the synthesis of IrFeCoNiCu-HEA nanoparticles on a carbon paper substrate via a microwave-assisted shock synthesis method. Under OER conditions in 0.1 M HClO4, the HEA nanoparticles exhibit excellent activity with an overpotential of ∼302 mV measured at 10 mA cm-2 and improved stability over 12 h of operation compared to the monometallic Ir counterpart. Importantly, an active Ir-rich shell layer with nanodomain features was observed to form on the surface of IrFeCoNiCu-HEA nanoparticles immediately after undergoing electrochemical activation, mainly due to the dissolution of the constituent 3d metals. The core of the particles was able to preserve the characteristic homogeneous single-phase HEA structure without significant phase separation or elemental segregation. This work illustrates that under acidic operating conditions, the near-surface structure of HEA nanoparticles is susceptible to a certain degree of structural dynamics.

Abstract
High entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) are reported to have superior performance in catalysis, energy storage, and conversion due to the broad range of elements that can be incorporated in these materials, enabling tunable activity, excellent thermal and chemical stability, and a synergistic catalytic effect. However, scaling the manufacturing of HEA-NPs with uniform particle size and homogeneous elemental distribution efficiently is still a challenge due to the required critical synthetic conditions where high temperature is typically involved. In this work, we demonstrate an efficient and scalable microwave heating method using carbon-based materials as substrates to fabricate HEA-NPs with uniform particle size. Due to the abundant functional group defects that can absorb microwave efficiently, reduced graphene oxide is employed as a model substrate to produce an average temperature reaching as high as ∼1850 K within seconds. As a proof-of-concept, we utilize this rapid, high-temperature heating process to synthesize PtPdFeCoNi HEA-NPs, which exhibit an average particle size of ∼12 nm and uniform elemental mixing resulting from decomposition nearly at the same time and liquid metal solidification without diffusion. Various carbon-based materials can also be employed as substrates, including one-dimensional carbon nanofibers and three-dimensional carbonized wood, which can achieve temperatures of >1400 K. This facile and efficient microwave heating method is also compatible with the roll-to-roll process, providing a feasible route for scalable HEA-NPs manufacturing.

Abstract
The nanoscale effect enables the unique magnetic, optical, thermal and electrical properties of nanostructured materials and has attracted extensive investigation for applications in catalysis, biomedicine, sensors, and energy storage and conversion. The widely used synthesis methods, such as traditional hydrothermal reaction and calcination, are bulk heating processes based on thermal radiation. Differing from traditional heating methods, non-thermal radiation heating technique is a local heating mode. In this regard, this review summarizes various non-thermal radiation heating methods for synthesis of nanomaterials, including microwave heating, induction heating, Joule heating, laser heating and electron beam heating. The advantages and disadvantages of these non-thermal radiation heating methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials are compared and discussed. Finally, the future development and challenges of non-thermal radiation heating method for potential synthesis of nanomaterials are discussed.
