ABSTRACT
Multi-metallic catalysts containing Pt species are widely used. As there is no methodology to evaluate the quantity of active surface sites of Pt or other metal species, researchers have only published the total conversion or selectivity of all active surface sites. This study focuses on Pt-Pd bimetallic catalysts and uses both methane reaction kinetics and infrared (IR) spectroscopy to characterize the surface Pd and Pt sites. The surface Pt sites, which were determined from the fitted rate coefficients, were evaluated in the reaction region where the catalyst structure was insensitive to catalytic performance. Another methodology involves IR spectroscopy to normalize the active surface sites. As three typical absorption bands of Pt species were observed during CO chemisorption, spectral deconvolution was conducted to obtain the integrated intensity of the Pd and Pt species, and the quantity of surface Pd and Pt sites was calculated. The two methods have good consistency, and the IR spectra are considered to be more suitable for calculating the quantity of active surface sites. In addition, the IR spectra revealed a correlation between oxidative Pd surface sites and methane reactivity. The ionic Pd sites provide abundant oxygen intermediates in the catalytic reaction and improve the catalytic performance. As for the surface Pd species and bulk Pd species, the XPS results indicate a similar variation in the Pdδ+/(Pdδ+ + Pd0) ratio vs. Pd/Pt ratio.
