  • Carbon based materials as solid-state ligands for metal nanoparticle catalysts
    Patent number: 10661251
    Abstract: High activity metal nanoparticle catalysts, such as Pd or Pt nanoparticle catalysts, are provided. Adsorption of metal precursors such as Pd or Pt precursors onto carbon based materials such as graphene followed by solventless (or low-solvent) microwave irradiation at ambient conditions results in the formation of catalysts in which metal nanoparticles are supported on i) the surface of the carbon based materials and ii) in/on/within defects/holes in the carbon based materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020
    Assignee: Virginia Commonwealth University
    Inventors: Stanley Eugene Gilliland, III, Bernard Frank Gupton, Caleb June Kong, Brian Raymond Clark
