Low-loading Pd supported on FeO nanoparticles was synthesized. A common nanocatalyst system with previously reported synergistic enhancement of reactivity that is attributed to the electronic interactions between Pd and the FeO support. FeO-selective precoalescence overcoating with ZnO atomic layer deposition (ALD), using Zn(CHCH) and HO as precursors, dampens competitive hydrogenation reactivity at FeO-based sites.

Galvanic exchange seeds the growth of Pt nanostructures on the Ni foam monolith. Subsequent atomic layer deposition of ultrathin AlO followed by annealing under air affords supported Pt catalysts with ultralow loading (0.020 ppm).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how hydrogen-terminated silicon nanoparticles (H-SiNPs) interact with Karstedt's catalyst at different temperatures, revealing important results about the synthesis of platinum-loaded SiNPs.
  • At room temperature, the addition of platinum (Pt) onto H-SiNPs is irreversible, which allows for successful ligand exchange without losing the catalyst.
  • Higher temperatures enhance the removal of the catalyst and promote the hydrosilylation process of 1-octene onto the H-SiNPs, demonstrating key conditions for effective reactions.
