Enhancing the durability of Pt nanoparticles for water electrolysis using ultrathin SiO2 layers

Extending the lifetime of electrocatalytic materials is a major challenge in electrocatalysis. Here, we employ atomic layer deposition (ALD) to coat the surface of carbon black supported platinum nanoparticles (Pt/CB) with an ultra-thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) to prevent deactivation of the catalyst during H2 evolution. Our results show...

Nanostructuring Pt-Pd Bimetallic Electrocatalysts for CO₂ Reduction Using Atmospheric Pressure Atomic Layer Deposition

Preparing supported nanoparticles with a well-defined structure, uniform particle size, and composition using conventional catalyst synthesis methods, such as impregnation, precipitation, and deposition-precipitation is challenging. Furthermore, these liquid phase methods require significant solvent consumption, which has sustainable issues...
