Abstract

The combination of Pt with ZnO yields highly active albeit rarely studied CO oxidation catalysts. We investigated the influence of ZnO surface character on oxidation activity by depositing ∼1.6 nm and ∼3.2 nm Pt particles on nonpolar ZnO nanorod and Zn-polar ZnO nanopyramid surfaces. Pt particle size reduction enhances CO conversion rates up to 200 % under O₂-lean oxidation conditions whereas a switch from the nanopyramid to nanorod ZnO morphology leads only to 20–40 % higher oxidation rates. According to DRIFTS analyses the ZnO surface effect can be ascribed to additional Pt sites on the nanorod catalysts that enable stronger CO activation. The attenuation of the Pt particle size effect in O₂-rich reaction mixtures suggests that it originates from the availability of more Pt sites for O₂ activation on smaller particles. Thus, CO conversion rates over Pt/ZnO catalysts can be markedly improved by optimizing their nanostructural design.

CO在分散在ZnO纳米棒和纳米金字塔上的Pt纳米颗粒上的氧化

Pt和ZnO的结合产生了高活性的CO氧化催化剂，但很少被研究。我们通过在非极性ZnO纳米棒和锌极性ZnO纳米锥体表面沉积~ 1.6 nm和~ 3.2 nm的Pt颗粒，研究了ZnO表面性质对氧化活性的影响。在o2贫氧化条件下，Pt颗粒尺寸的减小使CO转化率提高到200 %，而从纳米金字塔形态切换到纳米棒状ZnO形态只会使氧化率提高20 - 40% %。根据DRIFTS的分析，氧化锌的表面效应可以归因于纳米棒催化剂上额外的Pt位点，使CO活化更强。在富含O2的反应混合物中，Pt粒度效应的衰减表明，这是因为在较小的颗粒上有更多的Pt位点可供O2活化。因此，通过优化Pt/ZnO催化剂的纳米结构设计可以显著提高CO在Pt/ZnO催化剂上的转化率。
