Abstract
The reverse water–gas shift reaction (RWGS) has been regarded as an important route for CO2 utilization. Because the RWGS reaction is a mildly endothermic and competitive reaction with CO2 methanation, it is necessary to explore catalysts with high activity and selectivity at low reaction temperatures. Herein, we investigate the catalytic characteristic of silica-supported Pt-In alloy for RWGS reaction by comparing it with silica-supported Pt and In2O3-modified Pt. It is found that Pt-In/SiO2 exhibits significantly higher activity than Pt/SiO2 at reaction temperatures from 140 to 200 °C, and equivalent activities appear at 240 °C. Further raising the temperatures, the activity of Pt/SiO2 increases rapidly. CO selectivity over Pt-In/SiO2 is close to 100 % and higher than Pt/SiO2 (∼95 %) under dynamic reaction mode, being attributed to the effective expelling of CO away from the Pt-In surface by CO2 molecules and the decreased atomic hydrogen supply. Moreover, the formate and the redox pathways were followed over Pt-In/SiO2 and Pt/SiO2, respectively. Except for higher activity and selectivity to CO, In2O3-modified Pt exhibits the same catalytic pathways as Pt/SiO2. The present work supplied a guide to explore efficient catalysts for RWGS reaction at low reaction temperatures.
