the silica supported platinum nanoparticles was synthesized by using the sol-gel method. the possibility of using diamminedinitro platinum (ii) as pt precursor and effect of metal precursor concentration on the final pt nanoparticle size was investigated. a stable silica sol was prepared via hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (teos) as a metal alcoxide and condensation reaction. subsequentl...

The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation o...

in this research different types of al2o3 were used as supports to prepare catalysts for dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene. these supports were al2o3 from merck, axen and gamma al2o3 synthesized from al(oh)3. sn/pt/al2o3 catalysts were prepared by sequential impregnation, at first pt and then sn was deposited. characterization of catalysts was performed by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd)...

Our first-principles density functional theoretical modeling suggests that NO oxidation is feasible on fully oxidized single θ-Al2O3 supported platinum atoms via a modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood pathway. This is in contrast to the known decrease in NO oxidation activity of supported platinum with decreasing Pt particle size believed to be due to increased platinum oxidation. In order to validate...

in this research na-y was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as support for preparation of sn/pt/na-y catalysts using two different tin precursors, bu3sn(cl) and sncl2.2h2o, by sequential impregnation, in which the pt  was deposited first and in the next step sn was deposited. the catalysts were characterized by h2 chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electro...
