Abstract
CO oxidation in the presence of water and sulfur dioxide remains a significant challenge nowadays. Traditional CO oxidation catalysts are easily deactivated under such conditions, primarily due to sulfate formation on the surface. Herein, a hydrophobic Pt/CeO2 composite with ultra-low noble metal content was fabricated via in-situ modification using silane coupling agents. The resulting composites demonstrate 100 % CO conversion and exceptional stability, even at temperatures below 80 °C, surpassing many recently reported catalysts. FTIR analysis confirmed the successful modification and hydrophobicity of the composite surface, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed no detectable sulfur element species deposition after long-term durability tests, highlighting its strong SO2 resistance. This low-cost, remarkable sulfur resistance and, excellent stability, offer a promising pathway for a wide range of potential applications.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
