title: Synthesis and Characterization of Nearly Monodisperse Pt Nanoparticles for C1 to C3 Alcohol Oxidation and Dehydrogenation of Dimethylamine-borane (DMAB).
abstract: Highly efficient nearly monodisperse Pt NPs catalyze C1 to C3 alcohol oxidation with very high electrochemical activities and provides one of the highest catalytic activities (TOF = 21.50 h(-1)) in the dehydrogenation of DMAB at room temperature. The exceptional stability towards agglomeration, leaching and CO poisoning for the prepared catalyst allow these particles to be recycled and reused in the catalysis of both DMAB dehydrogenation and C1 to C3 alcohol oxidation. After four subsequent reaction and recovery cycles, catalyst retained ≥ 80% activity towards the complete dehydrogenation of DMAB. The prepared catalyst structures were determined by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively.
