Abstract:
Abstract Catalysis, as a key and enabling technology, plays an increasingly important role in fields ranging from energy, environment and agriculture to health care. Rational design and synthesis of highly efficient catalysts has become the ultimate goal of catalysis research. Thanks to the rapid development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, and in particular a theoretical understanding of the tuning of electronic structure in nanoscale systems, this element of design is becoming possible via precise control of nanoparticles’ composition, morphology, structure and electronic states. At the same time, it is important to develop tools for in situ characterization of nanocatalysts under realistic reaction conditions, and for monitoring the dynamics of catalysis with high spatial, temporal and energy resolution. In this review, we discuss confinement effects in nanocatalysis, a concept that our group has put forward and developed over several years. Taking the confined catalytic systems of carbon nanotubes, metal-confined nano-oxides and 2D layered nanocatalysts as examples, we summarize and analyze the fundamental concepts, the research methods and some of the key scientific issues involved in nanocatalysis. Moreover, we present a perspective on the challenges and opportunities in future research on nanocatalysis from the aspects of: (1) controlled synthesis of nanocatalysts and rational design of catalytically active centers; (2) in situ characterization of nanocatalysts and dynamics of catalytic processes; (3) computational chemistry with a complexity approximating that of experiments; and (4) scale-up and commercialization of nanocatalysts.

Abstract:
The modification of Nano Pt and carbon black compound coating on the fuel cell’s graphite electrode by the method of vacuum ion plating and ethanol catalytic combustion. The microstructures and the electro catalysis properties of the electrode surface before and after the modification were analyzed and tested with the methods of scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM), electrochemical workstation and so on. The effects of nano Pt and carbon black on the electrode’s electro catalysis properties were investigated. The Study results have shown that carrying on electrochemical properties test to the graphite electrode which has been treated with nano Pt and carbon black compound surface modification, there will be three oxidation peaks in its cyclic voltammograms and the background current will be higher. Compared with the nano Pt surface modification, the electrode which has been treated with nano Pt and carbon black compound surface modification has better ethanol electro catalysis properties. The high specific surface area acquired from the nano carbon black surface modification and the synergic action of the catalytic material Pt can improve the ethanol electro catalysis properties of the electrode effectively.

Abstract:
Nano-CuO had been successfully synthesized by using direct precipitation method. The prepared sample was characterized by XRD. The luminous intensities of pyrotechnics composite containing KClO4, Mg and nano-CuO were measured. The catalysis of CuO nanocrystal on KClO4 was investigated by thermal analysis instrument. The results show that the average size of nano-CuO is 19 nm and has spherical-shape. When nano-CuO is added into the pyrotechnics composites containing KClO4 and Al, it can improve the igniting and burning performance. The luminous intensity of trinary pyrotechnics composite is also greatly increased. On the other hand, nano-CuO can make thermal decomposition temperature of KClO4 to decrease 97.7 °C, the decalescence amount also reduced to 79.07 J/g. It is obviously that nano-CuO has strong catalysis to KClO4 thermal decomposition. The conclusion is consistent with the measure results of luminous intensity.

Abstract:
Supramolecular structures have emerged as a promising enzyme mimetic. In this study we focused on the resorcinarene hexamer which is a self assembled capsule that have been studied intensively due to it’s ready availability. The hexameric capsule shows some catalytic features reminiscent of natural enzymes include; substrate selectivity , stabilization of transition state and intermediate through secondary interactions, an inherent Bronsted acidity and it’s ability to act as a hydrogen bond catalyst. Inside the cavity of the capsule reagents are confined in a restricted space in close proximity, such that they react faster . Here in, It was shown how the catalytic activity of the capsule can be modulated in the presence of competitive alkyl ammonium guests in the profile of conversion of tri alkyl phosphite substrate to it’s corresponding di alkyl phosphite product. The profile of the reaction was monitored using GC and NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract:
Electrochemical processes suffer from a number of challenges that needs to be overcome for widespread industrial adaptation. The need for an excess amount of inert supporting electrolyte in conventional three electrode set-ups with a single electrolyte medium makes synthetic applications uneconomical in both resource and sustainability aspects, and adds further complexities when the resulting product needs to be purified from the mixture which may also include the electro-catalyst. From an electro-analytical stand-point, altering the sample with the addition of high concentrations of electrolyte salt can have unpredictable chemical effects which may be difficult to account for in the analysis. The following results of the thesis addresses these issues by i) utilising triple-phase boundary systems where the electro-active species are kept in a separate phase from the source of electrons and ions, ii) introducing methods of heterogenising the electro-catalyst from the reaction mixture by immobilising in immiscible oils or polymers of intrinsic microporosity, and iii) offer practical application of such systems through the use of economical and technically unsophisticated methodologies. In the introduction the concept of an Integrated Chemical System is introduced where components with different functions can be synergistically combined and arranged to achieve a more complex output. In the context of electrochemistry, modifying electrodes with materials to add or improve activity, stabilise performance and to substitute more expensive materials, is desirable for enhanced control over the activity of an electrode. The first chapter begins with a general overview of various electrode modification strategies pioneered throughout the last few decades as an introductory narrative for the approach taken in the thesis. Integrated Chemical Systems synthesized and investigated in the thesis are as follows. In chapter 3, electrospun carbon nanofiber based triple-phase boundary systems are utilised for ion-transfer voltammetry across the liquid-liquid interface. Chapter 4 introduces a more conveniently prepared carbon microsphere-polystyrene composite, where the carbon is mechanically held together into a porous structure by an electrically insulating polymer binder. The porous carbon structure is demonstrated to be an effective host for organic oil analysis, under a triple-phase boundary set-up. Chapter 5 is also a study of a carbon-polymer of intrinsic microporosity composite, the polymer functions as a binder as well as a porous host for electrocatalytic guest molecules. Chapters 6 and 7 presents a novel hydrodynamic technique and its use in modulating mass transport in solution, which can be used as a diagnostic tool to study electrode processes at both modified and unmodified electrodes. Chapter 7 demonstrates the method’s utility through a mechanistic analysis of the organic free radical catalyst utilised in chapter 5. It is the hoped that the series of studies presented in the thesis addresses the issues with electrochemical processes at least in part through utilising economic materials and simple methodologies. Whilst the final outcome and devices presented are not fully optimised, they demonstrate a proof-of-principle of the main advantages of employing the modified electrodes. In future, better materials are needed to address the weaknesses of the composites investigated in the thesis to extract the full benefits offered by the electrochemical approach of chemical synthesis and analysis.

Abstract:
There have been many applications of cerium oxide in oxidation catalysis but the understanding of its role in catalysis is rather limited. This research is concerned with the use of nano-size cerium oxide in methane steam reforming reaction. It is found that addition of cerium oxide to the commercial supported Ni catalysts can dramatically reduce the undesirable carbon deposition (through surface oxidation), which is thermodynamically favorable under low steam conditions. In order to understanding the fundamental role of oxidation activity of the cerium oxide, different sizes of nano-crystallined cerium oxides have been carefully prepared by micro-emulsion technique. Their reactivity is clearly shown to be size dependent. We found that ceria particle sizes of lower than 5.1 nm are able to activate molecular oxygen, which accounts for the unprecedentedly reported critical size effect on oxidation. Characterizations by EPR, XPS, TPR suggest that a substantially large quantity of adsorbed oxygen species (O2 -) is preferentially formed in the small size ceria from air. Also, it is found that the oxygen vacancies are formed in the interface of metal and oxide, and the strength of the metal oxide interaction may influence the formation of the efficient oxygen vacancies, which are responsible for the adsorbed surface oxygen.

Abstract:
In this work, a two-stage fixed-bed reaction system was used for the production of carbon nanotubes along with hydrogen production from waste tyres and plastics from a pyrolysis-catalysis/catalytic-reforming process. The preliminary investigations concerned different metal catalysts (Ni/Al2O3, Co/Al2O3/ Fe/Al2O3 and Cu/Al2O3), which were investigated to determine the effects on carbon nanotube and hydrogen production by pyrolysis-catalysis of waste truck tyres. The results showed catalyst addition in the pyrolysis-catalysis of waste tyre process can increase hydrogen production. The Ni/Al2O3 catalyst gave the highest hydrogen production at 18.14 mmol g-1 along with production of relatively high quality carbon nanotubes which were homogenous. The influence of catalyst support was investigated with different SiO2:Al2O3 ratios (3:5, 1:1, 3:2, 2:1) with nickel. The results showed that the Ni-based SiO2:Al2O3 supported catalyst at a 1:1 ratio at 900 oC with sample to catalyst ratios at 1:2 gave the highest hydrogen production at 27.41 mmol g-1, and the 1:1 ratio gave the highest filamentous carbon production at 201.5 mg g-1. The influence of process parameters on hydrogen and CNTs production were investigated with the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. Hydrogen production reached the highest amount which was 27.41 mmol g-1 at 900 oC with sample to catalyst ratio was 1:2. The highest filamentous carbon production was produced with the sample to catalyst ratio at 1:1 at 900 oC catalyst temperature. The water injection rates were also investigated, the results showed that water introduction inhibited filamentous carbon production but increased the hydrogen production. An in-depth study to better understand the process involved investigation of three different tyre rubbers and five tyre pyrolysis oil model compounds to understand the mechanism of carbon nanotubes formation in waste tyres by the pyrolysis-catalysis process. The results showed that natural rubber which is the main component of tyre samples which used for this thesis, dominated hydrogen production at 25 mmol g-1 and SBR gave the highest carbon formation which was 40 wt. %. The aliphatic model compounds (hexadecane and decane) favoured gaseous hydrocarbons formation instead of solid carbon formation, but the aromatic model compounds (styrene, naphthalene and phenanthrene) favour solid carbon formation where the majority of carbon formation was filamentous carbon. The study was extended to investigate waste plastics and different types of waste plastic feedstock used in the pyrolysis catalysis/catalytic reforming process to produce hydrogen and carbon nanotubes. As carbon nanotubes separation from the catalyst is a challenge for this project, the nickel metal catalyst was loaded on stainless steel mesh and applied in the high-density polyethylene pyrolysis-catalysis process. The benefit of this catalyst has been shown in that the carbon formation could be easily separated by physical shaking from the stainless steel-nickel mesh catalyst. However, further investigation on waste plastics was concentrated on hydrogen production and where carbon nanotubes were the by-product from the process. Fe-based and Ni-based catalysts as bimetallic catalysts supported by MCM-41 with different Fe:Ni ratios were investigated using simulated mixed waste plastics. A synergistic effect of the iron and nickel was observed, particularly for the (10:10) Fe/Ni/MCM-41 catalyst where the highest gas yield (95 wt.%) and highest H2 production (46.1 mmol g-1plastic) have been achieved. Along with lowest carbon deposition which was 6 wt.% with carbon nanotubes formation. Seven real world waste plastics were used to produce hydrogen and carbon nanotubes in the presence of a Fe:Ni at 10:10 ratio catalyst with an MCM-41 support. The results showed that the agricultural waste plastic gave the highest hydrogen production that was 55.99 mmol g-1 with carbon nanotubes formation. The calorific values of the produced gases from different plastic samples were in the range of 12.13 - 24.06 MJ m-3, which could provide the process fuel that shows the possibility to apply the technology for further larger scale of research.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the understanding the effect of various factors, such as physical structures of metal particles, chemical composition of supports and metal-support interactions, on the catalytic performance of Pd or Pt nanocatalysts for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil model compounds. The first part of the thesis addressed the alternative catalyst synthesis strategy based on emerging double-flame spray pyrolysis method (FSP), which was able to tune the catalytic properties of nanocatalysts without changing their precursors and chemical compositions during the synthesis. A series of Pd catalysts on the silica-alumina supports, SiO2- , and Al2O3 supports have been synthesized with the tunable surface properties within micro-seconds. The characterization results showed that various flow rates of precursors and gases used for the synthesis of catalysts influenced the formation of the catalyst structures and further change the surface acidity of catalysts due to the correlation between acidity and structure, but, the flow rates did not influence the electronic properties of Pd particles. Therefore, the higher conversion but the similar chemoselectivity have been reached in the hydrogenation of the bio-oil model ketone compound-acetophenone The second part is to identify the dominant effects from size of metal catalysts (under uniform shape and face) or the support acidity in the hydrodeoxygenation of the bio-oil model compounds of acetophenone, benzaldehyde, and butyrophenone. The uniform cubic Pd particles with different size (8, 13, and 21 nm) have been synthesized and loaded on the most popular supports (SiO2-, Al2O3-, and silica-alumina) with various functional groups and acidity. The results showed different acidities on the supports (Brønsted acidic site for Silica-alumina, Lewis acidic site for Al2O3-, and non/weak silanol OH group for SiO2- support) could not influence the chemoselectivity of the reaction but effected the conversion obviously. The particle size has more significant influence than the acidity. The smallest (8nm) Pd particle catalysts regardless of kinds of supports revealed the highest conversion for the hydrogenation the bio-oil model compounds. The third part focused on the influence of various types of catalysts with different acidities, chemical composition, and metal-support interaction on enantioselective hydrogenation of several model compounds in two reaction systems: 1). Pt-cinchrona modified system, and 2). Pd-(S) proline modified system. The result indicated acidic supports promoted the both conversion and enantioselectivity. Specially, Pd/SA made by double-FSP method, which has the highest Brønsted acid sites, showed 100 % conversion of isopherone on 60 min with 99% ee values.

Abstract:
In this thesis, a wide breadth of topics related to the field of surface science are addressed using density functional theory (DFT). Specifically, five studies with relevance to molecular electronics and heterogeneous catalysis are presented, with a particular focus on interadsorbate interactions, reactivity and characterisation of molecules on transition metal surfaces. The first part of this work focuses on giving strong theoretical underpinning to the atomic-scale observations provided by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiments conducted by my group colleagues. The theoretical calculations presented here provide support to the experimental evidences but also serve to unravel information that is inaccessible from the experiments. On the one hand, the variety of results obtained in this thesis using standard DFT methods serve to highlight the capabilities of the computationally low-demanding methods for modelling processes occurring on metal surfaces. On the other hand, we notice that these workhorse methods in DFT have inherent limitations for providing an accurate description of some properties, in particular binding energies. This, further improvements in the level of theory are necessary for advancing the computational accuracy of standard DFT methods in materials science. The second part of this thesis is devoted to highlight the high level of accuracy obtained by the new theoretical approaches in the field of materials science. Due to the recent implementation of new algorithms combined with the increasing computer power that is available to the scientific community, these sophisticated methods are becoming more accessible for modelling solid-state systems. Here, the recent implementation of the random-phase approximation (RPA) for solids is employed to perform to benchmark study on the adsorption of benzene on different close-packed transition metal surfaces. The development of new theoretical tools is also essential to improve our predictive capabilities in surface science. A novel approach to correct vibrational intensities by including anharmonicities using density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) is proposed. The new method is tested for the adsorption of different organic molecules on various transition metal surfaces. The results obtained by this implementation demonstrate excellent improvements for predicting accurate spectra of molecules on surfaces.

Abstract:
Nanocatalysis, catalysis using particles on the nanoscale, is an emerging field that has tremendous potential. Nanoparticles have different properties than bulk material and can be used in different roles. Macro sized precious metals, for example, are inert, but nanoparticles of them are becoming more widely used as catalysts. Understanding the manner in which these particles work is vital to improving their efficacy. This thesis focuses on two aspects of nanocatalysis. Chapter 1 begins with a brief introduction into nanotechnology and some of the areas in which nanoparticles are different than bulk particles. It then proceeds into an overview of catalysis and nanocatalysis more specifically. Focus is brought to the definitions of the different types of catalysis and how those definitions differ when applied to nanoparticles. Chapter 2 is in finding an inert support structure to more easily assist in recycling the nanoparticles. Polystyrene microspheres were studied and found to prevent platinum nanoparticles from aggregating in solution and possibly aid in recycling of the nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were used in catalysis, aiding in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride. While the rate decreased by a factor of ~ 7 when using the polystyrene, the activation energy of the reaction was unaltered, thus confirming the inactivity of the polystyrene in the reaction. In Chapter 3, nanocatalysis was studied by examining bimetallic hollow nanoparticles with specific attention to the effect of altering the ratios of the two metals. Ten different bimetallic nanocages were tested in an electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate and thiosulfate. Five PtAg nanocages and five PdAg with varying metal ratios were prepared and studied. It was found that while silver cubes immediately precipitate out of solution when combined with thiosulfate, a small amount of either platinum or palladium allows the particles to remain in solution and function as a substantially more effective catalyst. However, as additional Pt was added the activation energy increased. To obtain a better understanding of the catalysis using bimetallic cages, the evolution of these cages was studied as the 2nd metal was added. Initially the particle edge length increased and then slowly decreased back to the size of the template cubes. The increase in edge length suggests of addition of material to the nanoparticles. This indicated the 2nd metal is on the outside of the cage, which was confirmed using UV-Vis spectroscopy and EDS mapping. By understanding how these bimetallic particles evolve, we may be able to manipulate these synthetic methods to more precisely design nanoparticles for catalysis.

The development of hierarchical nanoengineered "fuzzy fiber" aerospace fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite laminates holds the potential for enabling future generations of lightweight, durable, and multifunctional vehicle structures. By reinforcing the weak matrix-rich regions between individual fibers and plies, the circumferential growth of aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) on carbon microfibers (CFs) enables new composites with improved strength, toughness, electrical and thermal properties. While these improvements have been empirically demonstrated on alumina fiber FRPs, CNT growth degrades the CFs and sacrifices in-plane FRP properties for the benefits of CNT reinforcement. This thesis presents novel and scalable methods for realizing advanced fuzzy carbon fiber reinforced plastic (fuzzy CFRP) composite laminates with retained CF and interlaminar strength properties. Earth-abundant sodium (Na) is revealed as a new facile catalyst for CNT growth that allows for direct deposition of the catalyst precursor on carbon fabrics without any fiber pretreatments. This new catalyst discovery also enables high-yield CNT growth on a variety of low-temperature substrates. Simultaneously, this finding has led to other novel findings in carbon nanostructure catalysis including a core-shell morphology and the use of other alkali metals (e.g., potassium) for CNT growth. Towards the development of advanced composites, vacuum-assisted resin infusion processes are studied and refined, resulting in high-quality woven and unidirectional fuzzy (via Na-catalysis of CNTs) CFRP laminates. Growth uniformity improvement studies yielded strategies for increasing the quantity of CNT reinforcement within matrix-rich regions. Moreover, a new commercial unidirectional fabric enables the first retention of CF properties concomitant with interlaminar shear strength retention in the fuzzy CFRP architecture. The contributions of this thesis extend beyond CF composites: techniques developed for improving fuzzy CF synthesis were applied towards demonstrating A-CNT growth on SiC woven fabric, desired for creating damage tolerant and multifunctional lightweight vehicle systems. These advances pave the way for improvements in catalysis of nanostructures, electronics interfaces, energy storage devices, and advanced composite materials.
