Graphite nanofibers (GNFs)–supported platinum (Pt) catalysts had been prepared by an electrochemical deposition by controlling an applied potential to a potential of Pt reduction. Pt nanoparticles were successfully deposited by using potential sweep methods. The catalyst prepared by 18 sweep times showed the lowest resistance and the highest electroactivity. These electrochemical properties were dependent on the size, loading level, and morphology of catalysts. The influences of electrochemical condition on the sizes and loading level of catalysts were also investigated.

In this work, a series of natural mordenite-supported platinum (Pt) catalysts were prepared by a facile two-step method, namely, treatment of natural mordenite and then the loading of Pt nanoparticles. The acid-alkali-treated natural mordenite-supported Pt samples (1% Pt/MORn-H-OH) exhibited the highly enhanced catalytic oxidation activity of formaldehyde (HCHO) at room temperature. XRD results showed that the crystalline phase of the mordenite did not change significantly in 1% Pt/MORn-H-OH catalyst. However, the acid-alkali treatment endowed the Pt particles excellent dispersion with the smallest diameter of 2.8 nm in a high loading content, which contributed to the optimal catalytic activity of 1% Pt/MORn-H-OH.

The search for and exploitation of efficient catalytic systems for selective conversion of furfural into various high value-added chemicals remains a huge challenge for green synthesis in the chemical industry. Here, novel Pt nanoparticles supported on bamboo shoot-derived porous heteroatom doped carbon materials were designed as highly active catalysts for controlled hydrogenation of furfural in aqueous media. The porous heteroatom doped carbon supported Pt catalysts were endowed with a large surface area with a hierarchical porous structure, a high content of nitrogen and oxygen functionalities, a high dispersion of the Pt nanoparticles, good water dispersibility and reaction stability. Benefiting from these features, the novel Pt catalysts displayed a high activity and controlled tunable selectivity for furfural hydrogenation to produce furfuryl alcohol and cyclopentanone in water. The product selectivity could be easily modulated by controlling the carbonization temperature of the porous heteroatom doped carbon support and the reaction conditions (temperature and H2 pressure). Under mild conditions (100 °C, 1 MPa H2), furfuryl alcohol was obtained in water with complete conversion of the furfural and an impressive furfuryl alcohol selectivity of >99% in the presence of Pt/NC-BS-500. A higher reaction temperature, in water, favored rearrangement of the furfural (FFA) with Pt/NC-BS-800 as the catalyst, which resulted in a high cyclopentanone yield of >76% at 150 °C and 3 MPa H2. The surface properties and pore structure of the heteroatom doped carbon support, adjusted using the carbonization temperature, might determine the interactions between the Pt nanoparticles, carbon support and catalytic reactants in water, which in turn could have led to a good selectivity control. The effect of different reaction temperatures and reaction times on the product selectivity was also explored. Combined with exploration of the distribution of the reaction products, a reaction mechanism for furfural reduction has been proposed.

We report the formation of self-organized porous ZrO2 layers by anodization of Zr in H2SO4 electrolytes. Anodization at 20 V after a potential sweep from open-circuit potential with a defined sweep rate results in tube-like porous ZrO2. In particular, under optimized electrolyte condition and polarization, a highly ordered porous structure is obtained. Furthermore, sponge-like porous ZrO2 is also fabricated under a specific electrochemical condition.

The use of nanoparticles to improve the thermal properties of low thermal conductivity phase change materials is of significant interest. However, the addition of nanoparticles to a base fluid is known to result in an increase in viscosity. An increase in viscosity can suppress convective currents, reducing overall heat transfer thus it necessary to quantify the impact of nanoparticle addition on the viscosity of a PCM. In this work nanoparticle enhanced phase change mateirals are synthesized using paraffin and three different types of nanoparticles: exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGNP), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and herringbone graphite nanofibers (HGNF). The particles are loaded at rates between 0.0024wt% to 0.1wt%. The viscosity is analyzed at temperatures between 60 and 100°C. The influence of temperature, nanoparticle type and nanoparticle loading level on viscosity are presented and discussed. The results show that for xGNP and HGNF within the operating condition studied here that there is no impact of the nanoparticle addition on the viscosity of the base material. However, the addition of MWCNT is found to increase the viscosity of the base fluid with the impact increasing with loading level.
