Abstract
Microporous networks of Pt nanoparticles (NP) interlinked by aromatic diamines have recently shown prospects of application as hydrogen combustion catalysts in H2 gas microsensors. In particular with respect to long-term sensor performance, they outperformed plain Pt NP as catalysts. In this paper, electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy data on the stability of p-phenylene diamine (PDA) and of the PDA-linked Pt NP network structure during catalyst activation and long-term sensor operation at elevated temperature (up to 120-180 °C) will be presented. For the first time, all data were collected directly from microsensor catalysts, and FTIR was performed in operando, i.e., during activation and sensor operation. While the data confirm high long-term catalyst activity far superior to that of plain Pt NP over 5 days of testing, they reveal that PDA fully decomposed during long-term sensor operation and that the network of discrete Pt nanoparticles changed to a sponge-like Pt nanostructure already during catalyst activation. These findings are at variance with previous work which assumed that stability of the PDA-linked Pt NP network is prerequisite for catalyst stability and performance.

Highly Effective Pt-Co/ZSM-5 Catalysts with Low Pt Loading for Preferential CO Oxidation in H2-Rich Mixture. HYDROGEN 2023.

Abstract
New Pt-Co catalysts of hydrogen purification from CO impurities for fuel cells were fabricated via the deposition of monodispersed 1.7 nm Pt nanoparticles using laser electrodispersion on Co-modified ZSM-5 prepared by the Co(CH3COO)2 impregnation. The structure of prepared Pt-Co zeolites was studied by low-temperature N2 sorption, TEM, EDX, and XPS methods. The comparative analysis of samples with different Pt (0.01–0.05 wt.%) and Co (2.5–4.5 wt.%) contents on zeolites with the ratio of Si/Al = 15, 28, and 40 was performed in the CO-PROX reaction in H2-rich mixture (1%CO + 1%O2 + 49%H2 + 49%He). The synergistic catalytic action of Pt and Co on zeolite surface makes it possible to completely remove CO from a mixture with hydrogen in a wide temperature range from 50 to 150 °C; the high efficiency of designed composites with low Pt loading is maintained for a long time. The enhancement of PROX performance originates from the formation of new active sites for the CO oxidation at the Pt-Co interfaces within zeolite channels and at the surface. In terms of their activity, stability, and selectivity, such composites are significantly superior to known supported Pt-Co catalysts.

Abstract
Over the last decade, a multitude of synthesis strategies has been reported for the production of high-quality nanoparticles. Wet-chemical methods are generally the most efficient synthesis procedures since high control of crystallinity and physicochemical properties can be achieved. However, a number of challenges remain from inadequate reaction control during the nanocrystallization process; specifically variability, selectivity, scalability and safety. These shortcomings complicate the synthesis, make it difficult to obtain a uniform product with desired properties, and present serious limitations for scaling the production of colloidal nanocrystals from academic studies to industrial applications. Continuous flow reactors based on microfluidic principles offer potential solutions and advantages. The reproducibility of reaction conditions in microfluidics and therefore product quality have proved to exceed those obtained by batch processing. Considering that in nanoparticles' production not only is it crucial to control the particle size distribution, but also the shape and chemical composition, this review presents an overview of the current state-of-the-art in synthesis of anisotropic and faceted nanostructures by using microfluidics techniques. The review surveys the available tools that enable shape and chemical control, including secondary growth methods, active segmented flow, and photoinduced shape conversion. In addition, emphasis is placed on the available approaches developed to tune the structure and chemical composition of nanomaterials in order to produce complex heterostructures in a continuous and reproducible fashion.

Abstract
Catalytic combustion of isopropanol in the structured fixed-bed reactor was investigated over Co-ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts. Firstly, ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts with different Si/Al ratios were coated onto the surface of stainless steel fibres via secondary growth method and wet lay-up paper-making method. Then, cobalt oxides were loaded onto the zeolite membranes by impregnation method. The performance of catalytic combustion of isopropanol was conducted over the prepared zeolite membrane catalysts, and the experimental results showed that the catalyst with infinite Si/Al ratio has the highest catalytic activity for the combustion with the lowest T90 of isopropanol (285°C). Finally, the effects of bed structure, feed concentration, gas hourly space velocity and reaction temperature on the catalytic performance were investigated to analyse the kinetics of isopropanol over the catalyst with infinite Si/Al ratio in the structured fixed-bed reactor. The results showed that the longer residence time could cause higher reaction contact efficiency of isopropanol combustion. T90 of isopropanol can be dramatically decreased by 105°C in the fixed-bed reactor packed with Co-ZSM-5 zeolite membrane catalysts, compared to the fixed-bed reactor packed with granular catalyst.
