Manufacturing of nanostructured materials

Manufacturing

Metal nanoparticles present unique chemical and physical properties with a wide range of applications from catalysis, drug delivery, sensors, energy storage, etc. However, the full realization of these materials and their potential impact is hindered by the lack of a manufacturing technology capable of their production in a continuous and reproducible manner on a large scale. 

Kinetic studies of the nucleation and growth steps during the synthesis of different metal nanoparticles coupled with computational fluid dynamic simulations, guide the design of novel microdevices with the aim of avoiding the sintering of the nanomaterials and control their final size. 

The use of additive manufacturing technologies (3D printing) allows us to experimentally produce novel reactor configurations and obtain full control of the fluid dynamics within the channels as well as linking experimental and simulation data to refine our models.

The meeting was a vivid discussion of how the communities accummulate knowledge and on how innovativeness can be combined to have a stronger scientific impact. In the following, we provide an overview of the meeting structure, including plenaries, papers, discussion points and breakout sessions, and we hope to show, to the wider scientific community, that there is great value in continued international discussion and scientific collaboration in these fields.},

A detailed understanding of the different steps taking place during the hydrothermal synthesis has been deduced herein. Understanding the effect of temperature on the relative rates of these steps is essential for achieving size and morphology selectivity, but has often been overlooked in the literature. This systematic study identifies six distinct steps taking place during the synthesis: (1) formation of Al(OH)               3               , (2) dissolution of Al(OH)               3               into hexameric based fragments (3) thermolysis at temperatures {$\geq$} 170 \textdegree C into soluble AlOOH (boehmite) building blocks (4) formation of lamellar AlOOH sheets (5) scrolling into nanorod crystallites and subsequent oriented attachment into high aspect nanorods and (6) growth by Ostwald ripening to low aspect nanorods. The obtained AlOOH nanorods are converted into {$\gamma$}-Al               2               O               3               with conservation of morphology by calcination at 500 \textdegree C. Nanorod formation (step 5) can only be achieved at temperatures {$\geq$} 180 \textdegree C (after 20 hours). At 180 \textdegree C, growth of the rods (step 6) takes place simultaneously with their slow formation (step 5) leading to two distinct nanorod products with different aspect ratios. At higher temperatures (200 \textdegree C), the rate of formation (step 5) is fast, quickly reaching completion, allowing for substantial growth of the nanorods and resulting in a monomodal size distribution. Thus, we have identified that {$\gamma$}-Al               2               O               3               rods with high aspect ratio can be selectively synthesised at 180 \textdegree C for {$\geq$}20 hours, while low aspect ratios are produced at 200 \textdegree C for {$\geq$}10 hours. In all cases, the average size of the nanorods increases linearly with prolonged reaction time due to their continuous growth.},

Providing sufficient contact area between phases easily overcomes the physical limitations associated with the phase transfer of species, facilitating its scale-up, recyclability of the catalyst and easing product separation. Using the epoxidation of sunflower seed oil as a model reaction, we have also shown how the chemical and safety limitations associated with the parallel decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by Na               2               WO               4               can be suppressed by the use of readily available water soluble organic carboxylic acids and careful consideration of the catalyst to acid ratio. The combination of chemical and engineering solutions with a near 100\% hydrogen peroxide use, makes, for the first time, this green oxidation pathway attractive for large-scale industrial applications.},

Herein, we reveal that the Turkevich mechanism consists of two consecutive reduction steps (Au               3+               \textrightarrow{} Au               +               \textrightarrow{} Au               0               ) rather than a reduction followed by the disproportionation reaction as conventionally believed.

This knowledge enables the synthesis of monodispersed gold nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 5.2 {$\pm$} 1.7 nm to 21.4 {$\pm$} 3.4 nm, with the lower end considerably smaller than previously reported through the Turkevich route. This work provides fundamental guidance for the controllable synthesis of nanoparticles using DC               2-               as a reducing agent directly applicable to other precious metals.},

					  abstract = {Ammonia is regarded as a safe hydrogen energy carrier due to its high hydrogen content and narrow flammable range. Herein, we report a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) templated approach to synthesize highly active catalysts for the hydrogen production from ammonia. Calcination of ruthenium-impregnated UiO-66(Zr)-NH2 leads to formation of small ruthenium nanoparticles (\<3 nm) with a strong interaction with the resulting mesoporous zirconia support. These catalysts present a turnover frequency considerably higher than Ru/CNTs catalysts, defying the established believe of 3\textendash 5 nm as optimum Ru size for this reaction. Moreover, cesium promoter acts as an electronic modifier of Ru and also as a molecular spacer enhancing the stability under reaction conditions. Despite the exciting potential of this approach, the collapse of MOF framework structures during the calcination process limits the accessibility with an estimated  16\% of the ruthenium accessible, underestimating the actual turnover frequency (TOF) values. \textcopyright{} 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC},

As an alternative to ruthenium-based catalysts, herein we report the high activity of silica aerogel supported cobalt rhenium catalysts. XANES/EXAFS studies undertaken at reaction conditions in the presence of the ammonia feed reveal that the cobalt and rhenium components of the catalyst which had been pre-reduced are initially re-oxidised prior to their subsequent reduction to metallic and bimetallic species before catalytic activity is observed. A synergistic effect is apparent in which this re-reduction step occurs at considerably lower temperatures than for the corresponding monometallic counterpart materials. The rate of hydrogen production               via               ammonia decomposition was determined to be 0.007 mol               H2               g               cat               -1               h               -1               at 450 \textdegree C.

This paper presents a systematic study for the design of cobalt-based catalysts, moving away from scare Ru-based systems. It demonstrates the importance of the preparation method of cobalt-based catalysts not only to tune the size of the active species and their interaction with the support but also in the promotion of active species. Cobalt supported on titanate nanotubes via an ion-exchange method leads to the incorporation of the cobalt into the crystal structure of the titanates facilitating the formation of unreducible cobalt titanate species with a detrimental effect on the reactivity, and the thermal stability of the titanate support. Considerably higher reactivities can be achieved by loading cobalt via deposition-precipitation with NaOH method, leading to the formation of reducible cobalt particles on the surface of the titanate nanorods support. In this case, the rate of reaction is inversely related to the cobalt particle size, pointing out the key effect of particle size of cobalt-based catalyst for the hydrogen production in ammonia decomposition. Although the activities reported here for cobalt-based catalysts are still below those of the state-of-the-art ruthenium counterpart systems, this work provides unique insights for the future development of sustainable catalysts for the use of ammonia as hydrogen vector. \textcopyright{} 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC},

This approach opens the door to large-scale production for their deployment in a range of applications such as drug delivery, separation, MRI contrasting agents, magnetically separable catalysts, magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment, etc. A systematic study of key reaction parameters in continuous microreactors reveal the main mechanistic steps involved in the thermal decomposition of the iron pentacarbonyl precursor. The presence of surfactants enables not only the post-synthesis particle stabilisation but also facilitates the initial ligand exchange in the precursor and the in situ CO production. We demonstrate that such gas production leads to a combined Dean-Taylor flow regime in the helical microreactors. Optimisation of the flow rate and reactor length leads to a high level of mixing and sufficient residence time (\>12 s) resulting in narrow size distribution and high precursor conversion respectively. \textcopyright{} 2020 Elsevier B.V.},

This unique size flexibility is enabled by coupling rapid online spectroscopy and a mathematical Mie theory-based algorithm for size and shape evaluation.           ,              The physical and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles are strongly dependent on their size and shape. In this work, we present a flexible manufacturing approach for the synthesis of spherical silver nanoparticles with tuneable sizes between 5 to 80 nm. This unique size flexibility is enabled by rapid online characterisation coupling spectroscopy and a mathematical Mie theory-based algorithm for size and shape evaluation. While it is conventionally believed that narrow size distributions require a fast nucleation step, herein, we demonstrate that fast and controllable growth is also required. To achieve this, a combination of chemical and engineering approaches is presented to limit thermodynamically driven size focus, coalescence and secondary nucleation. We show that an optimum reducing agent to silver precursor to seeds ratio and pH range need to be maintained throughout the growth stage. Such demanding conditions can be achieved by accurate control of the feed points and fluid dynamics across a series of microfluidic helical reactors leading to low mixing times. In this way, particle sizes with narrow size distributions and spherical shapes can be easily tuned by just varying the reducing agent-to-precursor concentration in the growth stage in an approach directly applicable to other metal nanoparticles.},

In this work, we explore the incorporation of Cu and Cr metals as dopants in the crystal structure of ceria nanorods prepared by a single-step hydrothermal synthesis. XRD, Raman and XPS confirm the incorporation of Cu and Cr in the ceria crystal lattices, offering ceria nanorods with a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies. XPS also confirms the presence of Cr and Cu surface species. H2-TPR and XPS analysis show that the simultaneous Cu and Cr co-doping results in a catalyst with a higher surface Cu concentration and a much-enhanced surface reducibility, in comparison with either undoped or singly doped (Cu or Cr) ceria nanorods. While single Cu doping enhances catalytic CO oxidation and Cr doping improves catalytic NO reduction, co-doping with both Cu and Cr enhances the benefits of both dopants in a synergistic manner employing roughly a quarter of dopant weight. \textcopyright{} 2020 The Authors.

Long-term energy storage in molecules with high energy content and density such as ammonia can act as a buffer               versus               short-term storage (               e.g.               batteries). In this paper, we demonstrate that the Haber\textendash Bosch ammonia synthesis loop can indeed enable a second ammonia revolution as energy vector by replacing the CO               2               intensive methane-fed process with hydrogen produced by water splitting using renewable electricity. These modifications demand a redefinition of the conventional Haber\textendash Bosch process with a new optimisation beyond the current one which was driven by cheap and abundant natural gas and relaxed environmental concerns during the last century. Indeed, the switch to electrical energy as fuel and feedstock to replace fossil fuels (               e.g.               methane) will lead to dramatic energy efficiency improvements through the use of high efficiency electrical motors and complete elimination of direct CO               2               emissions. Despite the technical feasibility of the electrically-driven Haber\textendash Bosch ammonia, the question still remains whether such revolution will take place. We reveal that its success relies on two factors: increased energy efficiency and the development of small-scale, distributed and agile processes that can align to the geographically isolated and intermittent renewable energy sources. The former requires not only higher electrolyser efficiencies for hydrogen production but also a holistic approach to the ammonia synthesis loop with the replacement of the condensation separation step by alternative technologies such as absorption and catalysis development. Such innovations will open the door to moderate pressure systems, the development and deployment of novel ammonia synthesis catalysts, and even more importantly, the opportunity for integration of reaction and separation steps to overcome equilibrium limitations. When realised, green ammonia will reshape the current energy landscape by directly replacing fossil fuels in transportation, heating, electricity,               etc.               , and as done in the last century, food.},

					  abstract = {Sierra Leone is one of the least developed countries in the world, with an economy strangled by the necessity of importing rice to feed the population. In part, this deficit results from domestic farmers rarely using inorganic fertilizer, which is synthesized from fossil fuels internationally. Here, we evaluate the economic benefits of producing green ammonia from renewable local hydropower for low-carbon cost-effective fertilizer production. Its use as fertilizer estimates a 30-year net present value (NPV) of {$\sim$}230M ({$\sim$}165\% return of investment) compared with simply importing fertilizers, which would already save at least 50M a year compared with the current situation of importing rice, but hinges on additional external factors related to implementing modern agriculture. In addition, green ammonia can buffer seasonal fluctuations of hydroelectricity from 900 MW to 50 MW and produce a consistently available 370 MW of power. Although this study presents an initial analysis of Sierra Leone as a case study, it exemplifies the possible economic and social benefits of green ammonia in developing countries. The use of ammonia-based fertilizers is estimated to feed {$\sim$}80\% of the current world's population through the high-energy and capital-intensive Haber-Bosch process, using methane or coal as feedstock. Current research is developing technologies for the distributed production of green ammonia using solely renewable energy, opening new opportunities to those countries with access to solar, wind, and hydro power. This paper explores the implications of such green ammonia in sub-Saharan Africa, taking Sierra Leone as an example because of its high hydropower capability. It illustrates the economic and social benefits of locally produced fertilizers using their own renewable energy resources versus importing fertilizers or other agricultural products. In addition, green ammonia can also be used to buffer the seasonal variations of renewable energy, leading to a consistently available power to serve as the foundation for development. Green ammonia from renewable resources has the potential to transform the economies of sub-Saharan African countries such as Sierra Leone with high hydropower potential. Here, we show that the use of green ammonia is economically viable and will not only provide fertilizers to feed the population and modernize agriculture but also produce a consistently available power, buffering the seasonal fluctuations of renewable energy. \textcopyright{} 2021 Elsevier Inc.},

The enhancement of activity is facilitated by the intimate contact of the iridium and gold species, which modifies the electronic environment of the active sites, assisting in the oxygen activation at lower temperatures. In addition, the bimetallic system shows a considerably stronger metal\textendash support interaction capable of diminishing the detrimental loss of activity associated with metal sintering at high reaction temperatures, in contrast to the monometallic cases whose activities are greatly lost. This paper contributes to the understanding of the key factors behind high activity and good stability of catalysts to achieve the low temperature activity of VOC compounds in air pollution remediation applications.},

					  abstract = {The catalytic activity of nickel phosphide catalysts on different zeolite Y supports is investigated for the upgrading of algal bio-oils.           ,                             This work demonstrates the potential of zeolite Y supported nickel phosphide materials as highly active catalysts for the upgrading of bio-oil as an improved alternative to noble metal and transition metal sulphide systems. Our systematic work studied the effect of using different counterions (NH               4               +               , H               +               , K               +               and Na               +               ) and Si/Al ratios (2.56 and 15) of the zeolite Y. It demonstrates that whilst the zeolite counterion itself has little impact on the catalytic activity of the bare Y-zeolite, it has a strong influence on the activity of the resulting nickel phosphide catalysts. This effect is related to the nature of the nickel phases formed during the synthesis process Zeolites containing K               +               and Na               +               favour the formation of a mixed Ni               12               P               5               /Ni               2               P phase, H               +               Y produces both Ni               2               P and metallic Ni, whereas NH               4               +               Y produces pure Ni               2               P, which can be attributed to the strength of the phosphorus\textendash aluminium interaction and the metal reduction temperature. Using quinoline as a model for the nitrogen-containing compounds in bio-oils, it is shown that the hydrodenitrogenation activity increases in the order Ni               2               P {$>$} Ni               0               {$>$} Ni               12               P               5               . While significant research has been dedicated to the development of bio-oils produced by thermal liquefaction of biomass, surprisingly little work has been conducted on the subsequent catalytic upgrading of these oils to reduce their heteroatom content and enable processing in conventional petrochemical refineries. This work provides important insights for the design and deployment of novel active transition metal catalysts to enable the incorporation of bio-oils into refineries.},

					  abstract = {Ni-Based catalysts converting various primary alcohols to nitriles in high yields under oxidant-free, low temperature conditions.           ,                             Organic nitriles are significant and versatile industrial feedstocks, but their conventional synthetic protocols require hazardous starting materials and/or harsh reaction conditions posing environmental and health risks. Herein, we established a Ni-based catalytic system to convert primary alcohols to nitriles with ammonia gas as the sole nitrogen source under oxidant-free conditions at merely 190\textendash 230 \textdegree C. Based on isotope labelling experiments,               in situ               DRIFTS and control experiments, the reaction pathway was identified to follow a dehydrogenation\textendash imination\textendash dehydrogenation sequence, with {$\alpha$}-carbon C\textendash H bond breakage as the rate determining step. Ni is superior to all noble metal catalysts tested, due to its excellent dehydrogenation ability that is not inhibited by NH               3               . The support plays an auxiliary role, promoting the reaction between aldehyde and ammonia to form imine as a critical intermediate. Ni/Al               2               O               3               catalyst prepared               via               a deposition\textendash precipitation method, featuring both excellent dispersion of metallic Ni and suitable acid sites, enabled alcohol transformation into nitrile under unprecedented low temperature. Various alcohols were converted into their corresponding nitriles in high conversions and yields (both up to 99\%), while the catalyst kept 90\% of its original activity after 48 hours in the stability test, highlighting the wide applicability and the robustness of the catalytic system.},

					  abstract = {Oxyfuel combustion in a pulverised fuel coal-fired power station produces a raw CO2 product containing contaminants such as water vapour plus oxygen, nitrogen and argon derived from the excess oxygen for combustion, impurities in the oxygen used, and any air leakage into the system. There are also acid gases present, such as SO3, SO2, HCl and NOX produced as byproducts of combustion. At GHGT8 [2] we presented reactions that gave a path-way for SO2 to be removed as H2SO4 and NO and NO2 to be removed as HNO3. In this paper we present initial results from the Oxyfuel-UK project in which these reactions are being studied experimentally to provide the important reaction kinetic information that is so far missing from the literature. This experimental work is being carried out at Imperial College London with synthetic flue gas and then using actual flue gas via a sidestream at Doosan Babcock's 160kW coal-fired oxyfuel rig. \textcopyright{} 2009 Air Products and Chemical Inc.},

					  abstract = {This paper demonstrates the critical effect of the curvature of microreactors on the size distribution of silver nanoparticles during their continuous synthesis in the absence of capping ligands. By a combination of experimental data and deep understanding of the fluid dynamics inside the reactor, we demonstrate that decreasing the helix diameter of the reactor promotes the onset of transversal flows and radial mixing in helical reactors. These secondary flows enable fast nucleation and homogeneous growth during the synthesis leading to a delicate control of the particle size distribution. A similar effect is achieved by increasing the total flow rate, assuming that the Dean number is above {$\sim$}5, while no effect of the pitch distance within the experimental range on the size distribution is observed. These results will directly impact the nanomaterial field and the development of manufacturing routes as the size of the nanoparticles is known to play a key role in determining their chemical and physical properties. \textcopyright{} 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry.},

					  abstract = {Hollow bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit unique surface plasmonic properties, enhanced catalytic activities and high photo-thermal conversion efficiencies amongst other properties, however, their research and further deployment are currently limited by their complicated multi-step syntheses.           ,              Hollow bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit unique surface plasmonic properties, enhanced catalytic activities and high photo-thermal conversion efficiencies amongst other properties, however, their research and further deployment are currently limited by their complicated multi-step syntheses. This paper presents a novel approach for their continuous synthesis with controllable and tuneable sizes and compositions. This robust manufacturing tool, consisting of coiled flow inverter (CFI) reactors connected in series, allows for the first time the temporal and spatial separation of the initial formation of silver seeds and their subsequent galvanic displacement reaction in the presence of a palladium precursor, leading to the full control of both steps separately. We have also demonstrated that coupling the galvanic replacement and co-reduction leads to a great kinetic enhancement of the system leading to a high yield process of hollow bimetallic nanoparticles, directly applicable to other metal combinations.},

In this work, we present a novel approach for the continuous synthesis of silver nanoparticles with tuneable sizes between 5\textendash 10 nm and narrow size distribution ({$<$}20\%) in the absence of steric capping ligands               via               a seed-mediated method. For this, two flow reactors are connected in series where rapid changes in the chemical environment enable the spatial and temporal separation of the nucleation and growth stages. A novel coiled flow inverter reactor configuration was developed to provide substantial cross sectional Dean mixing, substantially narrowing the residence time distribution under laminar flow. We also demonstrate that careful control of the nature of the reducing agents in each step is essential to avoid secondary nucleation and ensure narrow size distributions. This innovative new capability will not only provide fundamental understanding of the effect of the size of nanoparticles in a number of applications but also enable the deployment of large-scale well-defined nanoparticles for commercial uses.},

					  abstract = {An ``indirect'' photo-electrochemical sensor is presented for the measurement of a mixture of analytes including reducing sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose) and non-reducing sugars (e.g. sucrose, trehalose). Its innovation relies on the use of a palladium film creating a two-compartment cell to separate the electrochemical and the photocatalytic processes. In this original way, the electrochemical detection is separated from the potential complex matrix of the analyte (i.e. colloids, salts, additives, etc.). Hydrogen is generated in the photocatalytic compartment by a Pt@g-C3N4 photocatalyst embedded into a hydrogen capture material composed of a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1). The immobilised photocatalyst is deposited onto a thin palladium membrane, which allows rapid pure hydrogen diffusion, which is then monitored by chronopotentiometry (zero current) response in the electrochemical compartment. The concept is demonstrated herein for the analysis of sugar content in commercial soft drinks. There is no requirement for the analyte to be conducting with electrolyte or buffered. In this way, samples (biological or not) can be simply monitored by their exposition to blue LED light, opening the door to additional energy conversion and waste-to-energy applications. \textcopyright{} 2020 The Authors},
