Pt-Rh elemental mixing / segregation  versus temperature and nanoparticle size
Published Sep. 25, 2023 2:42 PM

In-situ TEM experiments shows that the tendency for elemental mixing- or segregation to occur in Pt–Rh nanoparticles depends on the nanoparticle size and temperature. The smaller nanoparticles (13 nm) are stable in the solid solution configuration over the entire studied temperature range. Larger nanoparticles (13 nm) tends to segregate when cooled to room temperature. The results are of importance to understand the thermodynamics of this specific Pt–Rh nanoparticle system and it add value towards applications like catalysis, whereof e.g. supported Pt–Rh nanoparticles are attractive candidates for NH3 slip abatement processes.
