1 Environmental and Energy Catalysis by Nanostructures Nanostructured catalysts already widely used for: Pollutant clean-up: e.g., catalytic converter in autos - probably prevented more cancer death that all medical treatment combined Chemicals production with less energy consumption, less polluting side products. Fuel conversions to more efficient, cleanly-burning forms. Promising future: Nanostructures now can be made with tuned reactivity, and far more homogenous in structure- key to high selectivity! So soon we could have (with proper research) lots better catalysts, thus: cleaner cars, chemical industry, power plants, heating. But nanostructures are inherently unstable wrt larger structures, leads to catalyst deactivation, slower catalyst development.
2 Electronic character of nanoparticles are tunable, with size as knob. Different colors for different sizes of nanoparticles of same semiconductor (Bawendi, Brus, Alivisatos, Nie, others). Bright idea: catalytic properties also ought to be tunable for metal nanoparticles.
3 Implications of Particle Size wrt: Chemisorption and Catalytic Reactivity Atoms of same element which are more coordinatively unsaturated (i.e., have fewer neighbors) tend to bind next species more strongly. Example: Bond energy between 2 C atoms increase as the number of H or R neighbors decreases: H 3 C CH 3 90 kcal/mol H 2 C CH kcal/mol HC CH 200 kcal/mol. Metal surface atoms in particles <4 nm in diameter have fewer neighbors and should be much less noble, and behave more like elements up and to left in periodic table. Should be able to tune catalytic properties with particle size rather strongly below 6 nm. Indeed this has been seen

Goodman, Science 281, (See also our related work of Murata group referenced there.) 2 nm Au particles = very active!!! 10 nm Au particles = completely inactive
5 We Study Model Oxide-Supported Metal Catalysts Vapor-deposited metals on single-crystal oxides: Simpler, structurally well-defined samples: clean surfaces, controlled particle sizes. Issues: Effect of metal particle dimensions on: turnover frequency, selectivity, chemisorption of intermediates. Electronic effects due to interaction with underlying oxide. Effect of oxide or crystal face on activity, resistance to sintering. Sintering mechanisms, kinetics. Strength of metal - oxide bonding. Reviews of approach: H J Freund, Faraday Disc. 114 (1999) 1.

16 Catalyst Sintering Nanoparticles are unstable wrt larger particles They often sinter (grow in size, decrease in number) during use. Big problem is catalysis. Slows rate of new catalyst development. We study mechanisms of sintering with nc-afm and STM and are developing accurate kinetic models for sintering, in hopes this will speed development of new catalysts for a cleaner environment.
17 Studies of Pd nanoparticles on oxides Oxide-supported metal particle catalysts reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, Pd on alumina catalyzes the low-temperature combustion of methane, thus reducing dramatically NO x emissions. Commercialization limited by Pd sintering problems. Nano-scale metal particle catalysts can exhibit greater efficiency than larger particles because of: higher surface area unsaturated bond coordination. Explore Pd sintering and particle size effects on the dissociative adsorption of Methane and other hydrocarbons. Dissociation may be more facile on small particles.

Surface energy assumed constant, independent of radius. 2. Exponentials simplified Problem: to 1 st term in Taylor series expansion. Corrections to Model: Replace chemical potential with measured energy vs. size. This removes assumption of constant surface energy. Extend Pb measurements to other metals assuming µ(n) scales with H sub. (N = # atoms in particle) Keep exponential. All previous researchers assumed Gibbs-Thompsom eqn. w/ constant γ. The next page shows this clearly gives a HUGE error. Instead, we use our calorimetric measurements of metal adsorption energies to directly measure the dependence of the chemical potential (µ, which is really a Gibb s free energy) upon R/
