Development of a thermally stable Pt catalyst by redispersion between CeO2 and Al2O3

An operando emission spectroscopy study of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2/Al2O3.

In situ time-resolved spectroscopic examination of catalysts based on well dispersed nanoparticles on metal oxides under transient conditions significantly facilitates the elucidation of reaction mechanisms. In this contribution, we demonstrate the level of structural information that can be obtained using high-energy resolution off-resonant spectroscopy (HEROS) to study 1.3 wt% Pt/Al2O3 and 1....

An emission spectroscopy study of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2/Al2O3

Fabrication of CeO2 nanotube supported Pt catalyst encapsulated with silica for high and stable performance.

This communication describes the fabrication of Pt/CeO2 nanotube@SiO2 core-shell catalysts applied to highly efficient water-gas shift reaction, where the initial CO conversion is 30.2% at 250 °C. Pt/CeO2 nanotube@SiO2 core-shell catalysts show outstanding thermal stability, even after accelerated aging under reaction conditions at 450 °C for 6 h, and the morphology is also unchanged after ther...

Thermally stable single atom Pt/m-Al2O3 for selective hydrogenation and CO oxidation

Single-atom metal catalysts offer a promising way to utilize precious noble metal elements more effectively, provided that they are catalytically active and sufficiently stable. Herein, we report a synthetic strategy for Pt single-atom catalysts with outstanding stability in several reactions under demanding conditions. The Pt atoms are firmly anchored in the internal surface of mesoporous Al2O...

Conversion of N-Heptane on Pt/Al2O3 Catalyst

Hydrogenation reaction with n-heptane on Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated under the steady state condition in a fixed bed reactor. The catalyst was prepared under a variety of conditions, but the one chosen was non-acidic that is not considered a hydrocracking catalyst. The main objective was to vary the selectivity of n-heptane as a function of reaction variables es...
