ABSTRACT
In situ exploration of the dynamic structure evolution of catalysts plays a key role in revealing reaction mechanisms and designing efficient catalysts. In this work, PtCu/MgO catalysts, synthesized via the co-impregnation method, outperforms monometallic Pt/MgO and Cu/MgO. Utilizing quasi/in-situ characterization techniques, it is discovered that there is an obvious structural evolution over PtCu/MgO from PtxCuyOz oxide cluster to PtCu alloy with surface CuOx species under different redox and CO oxidation reaction conditions. The synergistic effect between PtCu alloy and CuOx species enables good CO oxidation activity through the regulation of CO adsorption and O2 dissociation. At low temperatures, CO oxidation is predominantly catalyzed by surface CuOx species via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, in which CuOx can provide abundant active oxygen species. As the reaction temperature increases, both surface CuOx species and PtCu alloy collaborate to activate gaseous oxygen, facilitating CO oxidation mainly through the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism.
