    Ceria/silicon carbide core–shell materials prepared by miniemulsion technique
    (Frankfurt, M. : Beilstein-Institut zur Förderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2011) Borchardt, Lars; Oschatz, Martin; Frind, Robert; Kockrick, Emanuel; Lohe, Martin R.; Hauser, Christoph P.; Weiss, Clemens K.; Landfester, Katharina; Büchner, Bernd; Kaskel, Stefan
    For the first time we present the synthesis of CeO2/Si(O)C core–shell particles prepared by the miniemulsion technique. The Si(O)C core was obtained by means of a polycarbosilane precursor (SMP10), which was subsequently functionalized with ceria and pyrolyzed to the ceramic. The size of these particles could easily be adjusted by varying the surfactants and the surfactant concentration, or by the addition of comonomers. Hence particle sizes ranged from 100 to 1000 nm, tunable by the preparation conditions. All materials were characterized by photon cross correlation spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and elemental mapping investigations. Furthermore, first catalytic tests were carried out by temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) of methane, and the activity of this material in lowering the onset temperature of methane combustion by 262 K was documented.

    Hydrophilic non-precious metal nitrogen-doped carbon electrocatalysts for enhanced efficiency in oxygen reduction reaction
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Hao, Guang-Ping; Sahraie, Nastaran Ranjbar; Zhang, Qiang; Krause, Simon; Oschatz, Martin; Bachmatiuk, Alicja; Strasser, Peter; Kaskel, Stefan
    Exploring the role of surface hydrophilicity of non-precious metal N-doped carbon electrocatalysts in electrocatalysis is challenging. Herein we discover an ultra-hydrophilic non-precious carbon electrocatalyst, showing enhanced catalysis efficiency on both gravimetric and areal basis for oxygen reduction reaction due to a high dispersion of active centres.

    Emulsion soft templating of carbide-derived carbon nanospheres with controllable porosity for capacitive electrochemical energy storage
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Oschatz, Martin; Zeiger, Marco; Jaeckel, Nicolas; Strubel, Patrick; Borchardt, Lars; Reinhold, Romy; Nickel, Winfried; Eckert, Jürgen; Presser, Volker; Kaskel, Stefan
    A new approach to produce carbide-derived carbon nanospheres of 20-200 nm in diameter based on a novel soft-templating technique is presented. Platinum catalysis is used for the cross-linking of liquid (allylhydrido)polycarbosilane polymer chains with para-divinylbenzene within oil-in-water miniemulsions. Quantitative implementation of the pre-ceramic polymer can be achieved allowing precise control over the resulting materials. After pyrolysis and high-temperature chlorine treatment, resulting particles offer ideal spherical shape, very high specific surface area (up to 2347 m^2/g^-1), and large micro/mesopore volume (up to 1.67 cm^3/g^-1). The internal pore structure of the nanospheres is controllable by the composition of the oil phase within the miniemulsions. The materials are highly suitable for electrochemical double-layer capacitors with high specific capacitances in aqueous 1 M Na2SO4 solution (110 F/g^-1) and organic 1 M tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile (130 F/g^-1).
