Abstract
It is still a challenge to fabricate metal nanoclusters (NCs) on a large scale. Here, we report a novel method to fabricate Pt/Cu NCs with a size of 1.6 ± 0.4 nm in a high yield of 1.2 g/h by using a continuous reaction in a static mixer. Cu ions accelerate the reduction of Pt significantly. The reduction time is significantly reduced from 30 min to 5 s stimulated by Cu ions. It is possible to continuously fabricate Pt/Cu NCs at a high flow rate due to fast reaction, and easy to obtain 1 L Pt/Cu NCs in 3 min' reaction.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
