1 The Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Researcher Conference Tailoring in-situ growth of nanoparticles towards applications Dragos Neagu and John TS Irvine 16 th - 18 th December 2013, University of Birmingham

2 Introduction & Motivation Surfaces decorated with uniformly dispersed catalytically active nanoparticles play a key role in many fields including renewable energy and catalysis. Deposition techniques (e.g. infiltration) In-situ growth of nanoparticles from perovskites (exsolution) Oxidising conditions Reducing conditions

3 Background Previous work on exsolution from perovskites (ABO 3 ): M x O y + y 2 H 2 Reduction xm 0 900C +yh 2 O G red. Only A/B stoichiometric perovskites Both A and B-site containing species upon exsolution Cation reducibility single driving force (only easy to reduce cations were exsolved) Exsolution occurs predominantly in the bulk rather than on the surface This study Most known exsolutions Y. Nishihata, J. Mizuki, T. Akao, H. Tanaka, M. Uenishi, M. Kimura, T. Okamoto, and N. Hamada, Nature, 2002, 418, H. Tanaka, M. Uenishi, M. Taniguchi, I. Tan, K. Narita, M. Kimura, K. Kaneko, Y. Nishihata, and J. Mizuki, Catal. Today, 2006, 117, B. D. Madsen, W. Kobsiriphat, Y. Wang, L. D. Marks, and S. Barnett, ECS Trans., 2007, vol. 7, pp M. B. Katz, S. Zhang, Y. Duan, H. Wang, M. Fang, K. Zhang, B. Li, G. W. Graham, and X. Pan, J. Catal., 2012, 293,
