摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的原子图片的Co纳米粒子的氧化机制及其对磁性的影响,通过实验以下的演变的结构,化学成分,和磁性的个人,气相生长的Co纳米粒子在受控氧化。早期氧化发生在两步过程中,其特征在于:(i)初始形成随机分布在纳米颗粒表面的小CoO微晶,直到它们的聚结导致氧化物壳的结构完整和金属核的钝化;(ii)CoO壳逐渐转化为Co 3 O 4,伴随着由于纳米级Kirkendall效应而形成的空隙。Co纳米颗粒在阶段(i)期间保持对氧的高度反应性,证明不存在压力间隙,由此假定在低压下的低反应性。我们的研究结果提供了一个重要的基准,为更好地了解氧化钴纳米粒子的磁性,其催化反应中的性能具有潜在的影响。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed atomistic picture of the oxidation mechanism of Co nanoparticles and its impact on magnetism by experimentally following the evolution of the structure, chemical composition, and magnetism of individual, gas-phase grown Co nanoparticles during controlled oxidation. The early stage oxidation occurs in a twostep process characterized by (i) the initial formation of small CoO crystallites randomly distributed across the nanoparticle surface, until their coalescence leads to structural completion of the oxide shell and passivation of the metallic core; (ii) progressive conversion of the CoO shell to Co3O4, accompanied by void formation due to the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. The Co nanoparticles remain highly reactive toward oxygen during phase (i), demonstrating the absence of a pressure gap whereby a low reactivity at low pressures is postulated. Our results provide an important benchmark for an improved understanding of the magnetism of oxidized cobalt nanoparticles, with potential implications on their performance in catalytic reactions.
