Article Description

Highly dispersed platinum (Pt) nanoparticles are deposited on CeO nanorods via atomic layer deposition (ALD) to improve the catalytic activity towards the NO-CO reaction. For comparison, CeO nanosphere and CeO nanorod loaded Pt nanoparticle catalysts fabricated by ALD and incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) are studied. The size distribution of Pt nanoparticles of Pt/CeO nanosphere (Pt/CeO-NS) and Pt/CeO nanorod (Pt/CeO-NR) catalysts prepared by ALD is quite narrow and uniform (3.05 ± 0.42 nm for Pt/CeO-NSs, and 3.05 ± 0.38 nm for Pt/CeO-NRs) compared to that of the Pt/CeO-NS catalyst prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The combination of XPS, H-TPR, XAFS and in situ DRIFTS characterization techniques confirms that the strong interaction between Pt nanoparticles and CeO nanorods leads to the decrease of the CO poisoning effect on Pt and activation of oxygen around the interfaces. As a result, the full conversion of NO takes place at a relatively low temperature of ∼200 °C, revealing that the activity of the ALD prepared Pt/CeO-NR catalyst is greatly enhanced.
