Abstract
Insight into metal-support interactions at the nanoscale is of prominent significance in the development of efficient catalysts for volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement. This study investigates catalysts with distinct Pt active centers including Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) and single-atom Pt (Pt1) supported on Mn-Co3O4 and reveals their electronic metal-support interaction characteristics. Benzene combustion tests show a contrasting trend exhibited by these two representative samples. Characterization techniques confirm that the superior performance of PtNP/Mn-Co3O4 stems from promotive electronic interaction. The effective charge transfer enhances reducibility and oxygen activation, coupled with the excellent benzene adsorption capacity of PtNP. However, the inhibitive role of Pt1 in Mn-Co3O4 hinders the lattice oxygen mobility and leads to undesirable performance. Mechanistic insights elucidate the EMSI-induced benefits of being less prone to surface species poisoning, along with detailed reaction mechanisms and benzene decomposition route. This EMSI-dependent understanding of benzene combustion behavior offers valuable insights into the rational design of Pt-based catalysts for benzene abatement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
