Abstract

A supported nanoparticle is dynamic in reaction conditions, but how this dynamic behavior is influenced by the support remains elusive. Using the stochastic surface walking global optimization method, herein, we report the structure, thermodynamics and catalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles inside and outside a carbon nanotube (CNT). We reveal that confined metal nanoparticles are, surprisingly, structurally more flexible at low temperatures but less likely to melt at high temperatures. By investigating the O2 interaction with a Pt15 cluster inside and outside the CNT, we find that the low temperature structure versatility facilitates the in situ creation of favorable reaction sites, and thus maintains the catalytic activity of O2 dissociation. The decrease of the population for the liquid-like structures (largely disordered) offers the higher stability of the confined nanocatalyst. The theoretical results are consistent with experimental findings for the enhanced antioxidation ability of the confined metal nanoparticles.

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.
