The interaction of carbon monoxide with platinum alloy nanoparticles is an important problem in the context of fuel cell catalysis. In this work, molybdenum-doped platinum clusters have been studied in the gas phase to obtain a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the Pt-CO interaction in the presence of a dopant atom. For this purpose, Pt and MoPt (n=3-7) clusters were studied by combined mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations, making it possible to investigate the effects of molybdenum doping on the reactivity of platinum clusters with CO. In addition, IR photodissociation spectroscopy was used to measure the stretching frequency of CO molecules adsorbed on Pt and MoPt (n=3-14), allowing an investigation of dopant-induced charge redistribution within the clusters. This electronic charge transfer is correlated with the observed changes in reactivity.

Inorganic nanomaterial-based peroxidase mimics have recently emerged as promising alternatives to natural peroxidases for enhancing the detection sensitivity of bioassays, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among them, magnetically active peroxidase mimics are particularly advantageous due to their ability to facilitate efficient separation and enrichment of target analytes. However, most reported magnetic peroxidase mimics suffer from limited catalytic efficiency and stability.

Introduction: Dysregulation of mevalonate metabolism is a hallmark of tumorigenesis and therapy resistance across malignancies, though its role in bladder cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate its impact on prognosis and cisplatin chemosensitivity in bladder cancer.
Methods: Transcriptomic data and clinical information of bladder cancer patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Supported metal clusters have reactivities that depend on their nuclearity and structure. Herein, we present a strategy for precisely controlling the nuclearity of platinum clusters and demonstrate their size-dependent restructuring behavior and catalytic properties. The clusters are located on isolated CeO nanoislands on high-area SiO, and the isolation facilitates control of the migration of the platinum.

Nanogranular films obtained by the soft assembly of atomic clusters feature functional properties that are of interest in a variety of fields, ranging from gas sensing to neuromorphic computing, heterogeneous catalysis and the biomedical sector. Bimetallic nanogranular films, combining a post-transition metal (tin) and a catalytic metal (platinum), were produced using supersonic cluster beam deposition. By operating the cluster source with a double-rod cathode or sintered cathode configuration, completely different nanostructures were obtained.

Bimetallic Bi-Pt nanoclusters exhibit diverse structural motifs, including core-shell, Janus, and mixed alloy configurations, due to the unique bonding characteristics between Bi and Pt atoms. Using density functional theory refinements from ChIMES physically machine-learned potential and CALYPSO particle swarm optimization global searches, 34 Bi20-Pt20 nanoclusters are systematically classified. The results reveal that Bi atoms predominantly occupy surface sites, driven by charge transfer effects.
