Iingcali zenzululwazi kwiTokyo Institute of Technology ziye zabonisa ukuba i-copper oxide particles kwi-sub-nanoscale yi-catalysts enamandla kunezo kwi-nanoscale.Ezi subnanoparticles zisenokwenza i-oxidation reactions ye-aromatics hydrocarbons isebenze kakhulu ngakumbi kune-catalysts esetyenziswa ngoku kwishishini.Olu phononongo luvula indlela yosetyenziso olungcono nolusebenzayo lweehydrocarbons ezinevumba elimnandi, ezizizixhobo ezibalulekileyo kuphando nakushishino.

I-oxidation ekhethiweyo ye-hydrocarbons ibalulekile kwiindlela ezininzi zeekhemikhali kunye neenkqubo zemizi-mveliso, kwaye ngenxa yoko, izazinzulu ziye zajonga iindlela ezisebenzayo zokwenza le oxidation.I-Copper oxide (CunOx) i-nanoparticles ifunyenwe iluncedo njenge-catalyst yokusetyenzwa kwee-hydrocarbons ezinevumba elimnandi, kodwa ukufuna iikhompawundi ezisebenzayo ngakumbi kuqhubekile.

Kwixesha elidlulileyo, izazinzulu zisebenzisa i-catalysts esekwe kwintsimbi ephucukileyo equka amasuntswana kwinqanaba le-nano.Kule nqanaba, iinqununu zilinganisa ngaphantsi kwe-nanometer kwaye xa zibekwe kwii-substrates ezifanelekileyo, zinokunikela kwiindawo eziphezulu eziphezulu kune-nanoparticle catalysts ukukhuthaza ukusebenza kwakhona.

Kulo mkhwa, iqela lezenzululwazi ezibandakanya uProf. Kimihisa Yamamoto kunye noDkt Makoto Tanabe ovela eTokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) baphanda ukuphendulwa kweekhemikhali ezenziwe yi-CunOx subnanoparticles (SNPs) ukuvavanya ukusebenza kwabo kwi-oxidation ye-hydrocarbons enuka kamnandi.I-CunOx SNPs zobukhulu obuthathu obukhethekileyo (kunye ne-12, i-28, kunye ne-athomu yobhedu engama-60) zaveliswa ngaphakathi kwesikhokelo esifana nemithi ebizwa ngokuba yi-dendrimers.Zixhaswa kwi-zirconia substrate, ziye zafakwa kwi-aerobic oxidation yekhompawundi ephilayo eneringi ye-benzene enuka kamnandi.

I-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) kunye ne-infrared spectroscopy (IR) zisetyenziselwe ukuhlalutya izakhiwo ze-SNP ezihlanganisiweyo, kwaye iziphumo zixhaswe yizibalo ze-Density functionality theory (DFT).

Uhlalutyo lwe-XPS kunye nezibalo ze-DFT zibonakalise ukunyuka kwe-ionicity yebhondi ye-copper-oxygen (Cu-O) njengoko ubungakanani be-SNP bunciphile.Le polarization yebhondi yayinkulu kunokuba ibonwe kwiibhondi ze-Cu-O ezininzi, kwaye i-polarization enkulu yayiyimbangela yokuphucula umsebenzi we-Catalytic weCunOx SNPs.

U-Tanabe kunye namalungu eqela baqaphele ukuba i-CunOx SNPs yanyusa i-oxidation yamaqela e-CH3 aqhotyoshelwe kwindandatho emnandi, ngaloo ndlela ekhokelela ekubunjweni kweemveliso.Xa i-CunOx SNP catalyst ingasetyenziswanga, akukho mveliso eyenziweyo.I-catalyst ene-CunOx SNPs encinci, i-Cu12Ox, yayineyona ndlela isebenzayo yokwenza i-catalytic kwaye ibonakalise ukuba yinto ehlala ixesha elide.

Njengoko uTanabe ecacisa, "ukuphuculwa kwe-ionicity yeebhondi ze-Cu-O kunye nokuncipha kobungakanani beeCunOx SNPs zenza umsebenzi wazo ongcono we-catalytic wokuvumba kwe-hydrocarbon oxidation."

Uphando lwabo luxhasa ingxabano yokuba kukho amandla amakhulu okusebenzisa i-copper oxide SNPs njenge-catalysts kwizicelo zoshishino."Ukusebenza kwe-catalytic kunye nomatshini wezi zinto zilawulwa ngokobungakanani beCunOx SNPs ziya kuba ngcono kunezo zentsimbi eziphucukileyo, ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kwishishini ngoku," utshilo uYamamoto, ebonisa ukuba iCunOx SNP inokufezekiswa yintoni kwixesha elizayo.
