The Morphological Stability of Boundaries During Metal Oxidation... 

Let us finally comment on the morphological stability of the boundaries during metal oxidation (A + -02 = AO) or compound formation (A+B = AB) as discussed in the previous chapters. Here it is characteristic that the reaction product separates the reactants. 1 vo interfaces are formed and move. The reaction resistance increases with increasing product layer thickness (reaction rate 1/A J). The boundaries of these reaction products are inherently stable since the reactive flux and the boundary velocity point in the same direction. The flux which causes the boundary motion pushes the boundary (see case c) in Fig. 11-5). If instabilities are occasionally found, they are not primarily related to diffusional transport. The very fact that the rate of the diffusion controlled reaction is inversely proportional to the product layer thickness immediately stabilizes the moving planar interface in a one-...

With regard to the use of G materials as supports, also design and modification of G support to increase the interaction with the metal are key concepts to fully exploit the promises hold by the 2D morphology of Gs and their interaction with the metal NPs. The target in this area is to show the advantages in terms of optimal use of support, fine tuning of the catalytic activity of the metal and stability of G-based supported catalyst with respect to any other support including metal oxides. 

Electrodes consisting of supported metal catalysts are used in electrosynthesis and electrochemical energy conversion devices (e.g., fuel cells). Nanometer-sized metal catalyst particles are typically impregnated into the porous structure of an sp -bonded carbon-support material. Typical carbon supports include chemically or physically activated carbon, carbon black, and graphitized carbons [186]. The primary role of the support is to provide a high surface area over which small metallic particles can be dispersed and stabilized. The porous support should also allow facile mass transport of reactants and products to and from the active sites [187]. Several properties of the support are critical porosity, pore size distribution, crush strength, surface chemistry, and microstructural and morphological stability [186].

We believe that (3) is the main reason for the low cycling efficiency. The thermal stability of lithium-metal cells decreases with cycling [30] and the dead lithium may be the cause of this reduction. This indicates that the cycling efficiency is strongly affected by the morphology of the lithium surface. 

To control the formation of nanoparticles with desired size, composition, structure, dispersion, and stability, a multifunction nanoagent is used. The active metals (Pd and Pt) react with the functional groups of the nanoagent, i.e., a pol5mier template. The polymer template determines the size, monodisperity, composition, and morphology of the particles (which is somewhat reminiscent of the reversed micelles technique mentioned above).
