ABSTRACT
Tuning the metal-support interaction and coordination environment of single-atom catalysts can help achieve satisfactory catalytic performance for targeted reactions. Herein, via the facile control of calcination temperatures for Pt catalysts on pre-stabilized Ce0.9Zr0.1O2 (CZO) support, Pt single atoms (Pt1) with different strengths of Pt-CeO2 interaction and coordination environment were successfully constructed. With the increase in calcination temperature from 350 to 750 °C, a stronger Pt-CeO2 interaction and higher Pt-O-Ce coordination number were achieved due to the reaction between PtOx and surface Ce3+ species as well as the migration of Pt1 into the surface lattice of CZO. The Pt/CZO catalyst calcined at 750 °C (Pt/CZO-750) exhibited a surprisingly higher C3H8 oxidation activity than that calcined at 550 °C (Pt/CZO-550). Through systematic characterizations and reaction mechanism study, it was revealed that the higher concentration of surface Ce3+ species/oxygen vacancies and the stronger Pt-CeO2 interaction on Pt/CZO-750 could better facilitate the activation of oxygen to oxidize C3H8 into reactive carbonate/carboxyl species and further promote the transformation of these intermediates into gaseous CO2. The Pt/CZO-750 catalyst can be a potential candidate for the catalytic removal of hydrocarbons from vehicle exhaust.
