Abstract
The disclosure provides a method a method for generating a
heterogeneous carbon-bonded material using an activated
carbon support a solution comprising a material precursor
and a chemical agent. The material precursor is typically a
salt such as SnCI₂, and the chemical agent is a substance
which thermally decomposes to generate reducing gases.
The mixture is heated in an inert, nonreactive atmosphere to
generate the reducing gases and remove surface groups from
the carbon support, allowing material such as metal from the
material precursor to nucleate and directly bond to the sites.
The method typically utilizes high specific surface area
carbon and may produce a p lurality of metal particles having
an average diameter of less than about 20 nm dispersed on
and strongly bonded to the underlying carbon support.
