{"title":"Identification of Active Sites for Reverse Water–Gas Shift Reactions on Pt/TiO2 Cluster Catalysts","authors":"Li Feng, and , Jin-Xun Liu*, ","doi":"10.1021/prechem.5c00010","DOIUrl":"10.1021/prechem.5c00010","url":null,"abstract":"<p >The reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a key process for CO<sub>2</sub> conversion and sustainable fuel production, yet the nature of the active sites on Pt/TiO<sub>2</sub> cluster catalysts remains elusive. Using first-principles microkinetic simulations, we systematically investigated the catalytic behavior of Pt clusters on TiO<sub>2</sub> under operational reaction conditions. We studied three distinct catalytic sites─Pt cluster surfaces, oxygen vacancies (O<sub>V</sub>) on TiO<sub>2</sub>, and Pt–O<sub>V</sub>–Ti interfaces─and revealed that the Pt–O<sub>V</sub>–Ti interface exhibited the highest RWGS activity via a redox mechanism. This synergy enhances CO<sub>2</sub> activation and facilitates oxygen reduction more effectively than the isolated O<sub>V</sub> on TiO<sub>2</sub>, which show 4-fold lower activity. In contrast, CO-covered Pt clusters show minimal CO<sub>2</sub> activation but serve as H<sub>2</sub> dissociation sites, enabling hydrogen spillover to adjacent O<sub>V</sub> on TiO<sub>2</sub>, thereby sustaining the RWGS process. Kinetic analysis revealed OH reduction to H<sub>2</sub>O as the rate-determining step on both interfacial Pt–O<sub>V</sub>–Ti and at the O<sub>V</sub> on the TiO<sub>2–<i>X</i></sub> support. These findings highlight the pivotal role of the Pt–O<sub>V</sub>–Ti interface in driving the RWGS and offer a design strategy for optimizing high-temperature CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation catalysts by maximizing the number of interfacial active sites.</p>","PeriodicalId":29793,"journal":{"name":"Precision Chemistry","volume":"3 7","pages":"380–388"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12308596/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144761594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
