Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We report on the oxidation and reduction behavior of colloidally stabilized Ni nanoparticles and Pt@NiPt core-shell nanoparticles with a platinum content of 4%. Thin films of both nanoparticle systems were deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates by spin-coating. Oxidation-reduction cycles were used to remove oxides and organics and obtain metallic particles. The cycling conditions necessary to clean and reduce Pt@NiPt core-shell nanoparticles were milder than for the Ni nanoparticles, which also needed several cycles to burn off residual organics. During cycling, the Ni nanoparticles lost their initially epitaxial relationship with the substrate and adopted a random orientation, while no epitaxial orientation was observable for the core-shell nanoparticles. Reasons for this are discussed together with the influence of platinum on Ni reduction. The Ni and Pt@NiPt nanoparticles sintered during the process but retained crystalline domain diameters close to the original particle diameters. Our results show that colloidally stabilized nanoparticles can be transferred onto a technologically relevant substrate and be reduced to metallic nanoparticles. The fabrication and final structures are discussed as a feasible route to realize solid oxide fuel cell anodes with tailored nickel particle diameter.
