| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is aimed to develop various catalytically active metal nanocluster catalysts with a Crown Jewel structure via a facile replacement reaction, in which Au atoms easily locate automatically at the top (vertex) sites in other kinds of less noble metal nanoclusters. The Crown Jewel catalyst starting from poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(PVP)-protected IrPd bimetallic nanoclusters has been found to reveal about twice catalytic activity of that starting from Pd nanoclusters for aerobic oxidation of glucose to produce glucoic acid. Since the transition metal clusters like Ni nanoclusters are not stable, the Ni clusters stabilized by alloying with noble metal like Pd have been used as the mother cluster in the next step. Then, the addition of small amount of Au to the PVP-protected NiPd (Ni:Pd = 9:1) mother nanoclusters for the replacement have been shown to improve the catalytic activity about 12 times higher than the NiPd mother nanoclusters.
