Electrosynthesis of nanocomposites of Ag, Au, Pd nanoparticles with aluminum(III), zinc(II), and titanium(IV) oxide-hydroxides
The two-step electrosyntheses of metal nanoparticles (MNP) (M = Pd, Ag, Au) nanocomposites with aluminum(III), zinc(II), titanium(IV) oxide-hydroxides were carried out. It has been shown that the first step of the oxide-hydroxides synthesis in an undivided cell using soluble Al, Zn, or Ti anodes and...

Summary: | The two-step electrosyntheses of metal nanoparticles (MNP) (M = Pd, Ag, Au) nanocomposites with aluminum(III), zinc(II), titanium(IV) oxide-hydroxides were carried out. It has been shown that the first step of the oxide-hydroxides synthesis in an undivided cell using soluble Al, Zn, or Ti anodes and dissolved atmospheric oxygen as reagent proceeds efficiently at controlled potentials of oxygen reduction to a superoxide ion in medium DMSO/0.1 M Bu

NCl with a current yield of 141% (Al), 102% (Zn), 110% (Ti), and formation of an amorphous phase. The second step consists of mediated electrosynthesis of MNPs in the obtained solutions of oxide-hydroxides and is carried out using methylviologen as a mediator and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as a stabilizer. MNPs obtained in the solution bulk quantitatively or partially bound to the oxide-hydroxides. PdNPs are combined with one common CTAC shell and are agglomerates of smaller nanoparticles (~ Pd = 6 ± 2 nm). Ag and Au NPs are individual; their size (amorphous part) is higher, depends on the oxide-hydroxide component in nanocomposites, although this component does not affect the size of metal crystallites. Obtained nanocomposites exhibit catalytic activity in the reaction of

-nitrophenol reduction by sodium borohydride, which increases with increasing of CTAC concentration. |
