Highly Active Oxidation Catalysts through Confining Pd Clusters on CeO 2 Nano-Islands. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202408511.

Abstract
CeO2-supported noble metal clusters are attractive catalytic materials for several applications. However, their atomic dispersion under oxidizing reaction conditions often leads to catalyst deactivation. In this study, the noble metal cluster formation threshold is rationally adjusted by using a mixed CeO2-Al2O3 support. The preferential location of Pd on CeO2 islands leads to a high local surface noble metal concentration and promotes the in situ formation of small Pd clusters at a rather low noble metal loading (0.5 wt %), which are shown to be the active species for CO conversion at low temperatures. As elucidated by complementary in situ/operando techniques, the spatial separation of CeO2 islands on Al2O3 confines the mobility of Pd, preventing the full redispersion or the formation of larger noble metal particles and maintaining a high CO oxidation activity at low temperatures. In a broader perspective, this approach to more efficiently use the noble metal can be transferred to further systems and reactions in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is an industrially scalable technology that enables the engineering of a wide range of metal-based nanomaterials with tailored properties nanoparticles. In the present review, we discuss the recent state-of-the-art advances in FSP technology with regard to nanostructure engineering as well as the FSP reactor setup designs. The challenges of in situ incorporation of nanoparticles into complex functional arrays are reviewed, underscoring FSP's transformative potential in next-generation nanodevice fabrication. Key areas of focus include the integration of FSP into the technology readiness level (TRL) for nanomaterials production, the FSP process design, and recent advancements in nanodevice development. With a comprehensive overview of engineering methodologies such as the oxygen-deficient process, double-nozzle configuration, and in situ coatings deposition, this review charts the trajectory of FSP from its foundational roots to its contemporary applications in intricate nanostructure and nanodevice synthesis.

Abstract
Active Zn species in Cu-based methanol synthesis catalysts have not been clearly identified yet due to their complex nature and dynamic structural changes during reactions. Herein, atomically dispersed Zn on ZrO2 support is established in Cu-based catalysts by separating Zn and Zr components from Cu (Cu-ZnZr) via the double-nozzle flame spray pyrolysis (DFSP) method. It exhibits superiority in methanol selectivity and yield compared to those with Cu-ZnO interface and isolated ZnO nanoparticles. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveals that the atomically dispersed Zn species are induced during the reaction due to the strengthened Zn-Zr interaction. They can suppress formate decomposition to CO and decrease the H2 dissociation energy, shifting the reaction to methanol production. This work enlightens the rational design of unique Zn species by regulating coordination environments and offers a new perspective for exploring complex interactions in multi-component catalysts.

Abstract
Flame spray pyrolysis of precursor-solvent combinations with high enthalpy density allows the design of functional nanoscale materials. Within the last two decades, flame spray pyrolysis was utilized to produce more than 500 metal oxide particulate materials for R&D and commercial applications. In this short review, the particle formation mechanism is described based on the micro-explosions observed in single droplet experiments for various precursor-solvent combinations. While layer fabrication is a key to successful industrial applications toward gas sensors, catalysis, and energy storage, the state-of-the-art technology of innovative in situ thermophoretic particle production and deposition technology is described. In addition, noble metal stabilized oxide matrices with tight chemical contact catalyze surface reactions for enhanced catalytic performance. The metal-support interaction that is vital for redox catalytic performance for various surface reactions is presented.

Abstract
Silica has the potential to enhance the performance of ceria-zirconia as a support for the dry reforming of methane; however, controlling the integration of silica with the ceria-zirconia using flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is a significant challenge. To address this challenge, an asymmetrically variable double-FSP (DFSP) system was established to control the SiO2 interaction with Ce0.7Zr0.3O2. The engineered materials were then utilized as supports for Ni for the dry reforming of methane. Initially, silica formation during FSP synthesis was examined where it was revealed that, at a low precursor concentration (<1.5 M tetraethyl orthosilicate in xylenes), the physical characteristics of the silica varied differently in relation to what is typically encountered during FSP synthesis. Explicitly, on using a 0.5 M tetraethyl orthosilicate precursor, increasing the FSP feed rate provided an increase in the specific surface area from 217 m2/g at 3 mL/min to 363 m2/g at 7 mL/min. Adopting this knowledge on silica formation under these conditions, the asymmetrical DFSP system was then exploited to regulate the integration of ceria-zirconia with the silica. To restrict the silica from coating the particles during DFSP, the intersection distance along the silica flame was tuned from 18.5 to 28.5 cm, whereas the distance along the ceria-zirconia flame was fixed at 5 cm. It was found that at short intersection distances the ceria-zirconia provided sites for silica nucleation and growth, resulting in high surface-area silica encapsulating the ceria-zirconia. At large intersection distances, encapsulation of the ceria-zirconia by silica was suppressed. An enhanced oxygen storage capacity and basicity along with the small Ni sizes facilitated by the longer intersection distances produced the most selective catalyst for the dry reforming of methane.
