Abstract:

A Pt(II) precursor was impregnated onto graphite (C) and carbon nitride (CNx), successfully forming subnanometric Pt clusters and single atoms. The N species on CNx modified the electronic and topological structure of the metal, improving the catalytic properties of the Pt/CNx catalyst in evolving hydrogen from NH3BH3. This was rationalised by combining HR-TEM and XPS characterisation with DFT computational analysis.
