Abstract

This study introduces a solvent-free gas-phase method for modifying Al₂O₃-supported platinum (3 wt%) catalysts with phosphorus (P) to enhance Pt dispersion and dehydrogenation activity. The process involves decomposing NaH₂PO₂ at 600 °C, releasing PH₃, interacting with Pt on the catalyst surface. P-modified catalysts showed up to a 24 % increase in activity for perhydro-benzyltoluene dehydrogenation within a P:Pt ratio of 0.6–2.6. Additionally, they exhibited high resistance to sintering, maintaining Pt particle sizes of ∼0.9 nm even at 600 °C. Characterization using CO chemisorption, STEM NMR, and XPS revealed that PH₃ deposits phosphorus on the catalyst, which then oxidizes via support lattice oxygen. At 600 °C, this oxidized phosphorus migrates to the support/metal interface, stabilizing Pt nanoparticles and preventing sintering. However, when the P:Pt ratio exceeds 2.6, excess phosphorus remains on the surface, deactivating active sites. This study highlights the role of POₓ species in stabilizing Pt nanoparticles and optimizing catalyst performance.

期刊介绍： Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications. Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
