Iron nanoparticles: Synthesis and applications in surface enhanced Raman scattering and electrocatalysis
Literature Information
Lin Guo, Qunjian Huang, Xiao-yuan Li, Shihe Yang
The microemulsion method is employed to synthesize iron nanoparticles with an average size of ∽3 nm using trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) as a stabilizing agent. The morphology, structure, and composition of the nanoparticles are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–VIS spectroscopy. The iron nanoparticles show a remarkable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity, and the scheme of iron nanoparticle-on-electrode is successfully used in the in situ SERS study of adsorbed molecules. Electrocatalysis over the iron nanoparticles is demonstrated in the highly efficient and selective reduction of H2O2 in the presence of oxygen.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
