Suspensions of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were formed in molten LiCl–LiBr–KBr via thermal decomposition of H2PtCl6, and subsequently evaluated for thermal stability and CO oxidation activity.

Significant advantage could be achieved if mixed reactant fuel cells, MR-FC, were functioning. These cells are intended to operate on a mixture of air and fuel introduced into both the cathode and anode compartment. Symmetry is broken by using different electrode materials exhibiting special and different catalytic properties. No high temperature fuel cell was reported to date to function as a true MR-FC and only one, low temperature type, did function properly. We discuss the required catalytic properties which are unique in that they promote electrochemical reactions and suppress chemical ones as well as possible ways to search for them. The chemical reaction which has to be suppressed is the direct reaction of fuel and oxygen as the two components are premixed and the mixture is then introduced into the fuel cell at both electrode compartments. The electrochemical reactions that should be promoted are the reduction of oxygen at the cathode and the oxidation of fuel at the anode only by oxygen ions that emerge from the solid electrolyte. Conditions to promote this selectivity are discussed. These are derived from the theory of chemisorption as applied to heterogeneous catalysis.

AbstractThe surface specificity of vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy allows one to characterize adsorbed and reacting molecules on catalyst surfaces while the catalyst functions at high pressure and high temperature. VSFG spectroscopy can be carried out in different modes, including scanning, broadband, time-resolved, and polarization-dependent, and has been applied to various active surfaces. Single-crystal and nanoparticle model catalysts have mostly been used, which are typically prepared under ultrahigh vacuum, but applications to powder materials have been reported recently. In this article, the fundamentals and technical aspects of VSFG are summarized, and its benefits are illustrated by case studies of elementary processes of heterogeneous catalysis.
