Plasmon-Driven Catalysis on Bimetallic Nanostructures: Au-Pd for the Selective Oxygenation
of Hydrocarbons
This is the public website of the EU-funded project Plasmon-Driven Catalysis on Bimetallic Nanostructures: Au-Pd for the Selective Oxygenation of Hydrocarbons (PLACABIN). This project has been conducted by Dr. Gang Xiao from Jan-2022 to Dec-2023 at Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) under the supervision of Prof. Graham Hutchings. This project PLACABIN aims to develop a universal principle guiding the design of bimetallic nanostructures for plasmonic-driven catalysis through an in-depth study of the intermetallic effects and the plasmon-driven selective mechanism in a representative system: Au-Pd bimetallic photocatalysts catalysing the selective oxygenation of hydrocarbons. Project updates will be provided continually on this website.
RESEARCHER
My research interest contains plasmonic catalysis on metal nanoparticles, photocatalysis on nanomaterials and nano-bio hybrid.
Related Projects
Follownig PLACABIN, I obtained funding support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the project title is: Construction of Au(core)-Ni(shell) bimetallic photocatalysts and mechanism study for the directional hydrogenolysis of lignin aryl ethers. This project focused on the Plasmon-driven catalysis on Au-Ni bimetallic nanostructures. One publication was generated through this project (Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2023, 62(40), 16236-16245).
