Recently, Pt-based bimetallic nanoparticles have drawn much attention because of their great catalytic performance and wide applications in diverse fields. In this work, we report that bimetallic Pt–In nanoparticles with uniform size distribution and controllable composition can be synthesized through a one-step, facile colloidal approach. Various characterization tools such as XRD, TEM, XPS, and synchrotron techniques have been used to characterize the as-obtained nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that the Pt and In elements are homogeneously distributed in the whole nanoparticle. The bimetallic Pt–In nanoparticles have shown great catalytic performance, including high activity, high selectivity, and high stability, for the propane dehydrogenation reaction to produce propene, one of the most important chemicals. The excellent catalytic performance makes Pt–In bimetallic nanoparticles promising catalysts in future industrial application.

Ga2O3-based catalysts supported on different supports (ZSM-5, SBA-15, γ-Al2O3 and SiO2) were prepared, and the effects of supports and Ga2O3 content (1–9 wt%) on their catalytic performance for the propane dehydrogenation reaction were discussed.

AbstractActivation of O2 is a critical step in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation. Here, the concept of increased electron donors induced by nitrogen vacancy is adopted to propose an efficient strategy to develop highly active and stable catalysts for molecular O2 activation. Carbon nitride with nitrogen vacancies is prepared to serve as a support as well as electron sink to construct a synergistic catalyst with Pt nanoparticles. Extensive characterizations combined with the first-principles calculations reveal that nitrogen vacancies with excess electrons could effectively stabilize metallic Pt nanoparticles by strong p-d coupling. The Pt atoms and the dangling carbon atoms surround the vacancy can synergistically donate electrons to the antibonding orbital of the adsorbed O2. This synergistic catalyst shows great enhancement of catalytic performance and durability in toluene oxidation. The introduction of electron-rich non-oxide substrate is an innovative strategy to develop active Pt-based oxidation catalysts, which could be conceivably extended to a variety of metal-based catalysts for catalytic oxidation.

Catalytic conversion of biomass-derived feedstock to high-value chemicals is of remarkable significance for alleviating dependence on fossil energy resources. MgAl spinel-supported Pt catalysts were prepared and used in furfuryl alcohol conversion. The approaches to tune the reaction selectivity toward pentanediols (PeDs) were investigated and the catalytic performance was correlated to the catalysts’ physicochemical properties based on comprehensive characterizations. It was found that 1–8 wt% Pt was highly dispersed on the MgAl2O4 support as nanoparticles with small sizes of 1–3 nm. The reaction selectivity did not show dependence on the size of Pt nanoparticles. Introducing LiOH onto the support effectively steered the reaction products toward the PeDs at the expense of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) selectivity. Meanwhile, the major product in PeDs was shifted from 1,5-PeD to 1,2-PeD. The reasons for the PeDs selectivity enhancement were attributed to the generation of a large number of medium-strong base sites on the Li-modified Pt catalyst. The reaction temperature is another effective factor to tune the reaction selectivity. At 230 °C, PeDs selectivity was enhanced to 77.4% with a 1,2-PeD to 1,5-PeD ratio of 3.7 over 4Pt/10Li/MgAl2O4. The Pt/Li/MgAl2O4 catalyst was robust to be reused five times without deactivation.

To obtain selective hydrogenation catalysts with low noble metal content, two carbon-supported Mo-Pt bimetallic catalysts have been synthesized from two different molybdenum precursors, i.e., Na2MoO4 and (NH4)6Mo7O24. The results obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with the presence and strength of acid sites clarified the different catalytic behavior toward cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation. After impregnating the carbon support with Mo precursors, each sample was used either as is or treated at 400 °C in N2 flow, as support for Pt nanoparticles (NPs). The heating treatment before Pt deposition had a positive effect on the catalytic performance. Indeed, TEM analyses showed very homogeneously dispersed Pt NPs only when they were deposited on the heat-treated Mo/C supports, and XPS analyses revealed an increase in both the exposure and reduction of Pt, which was probably tuned by different MoO3/MoO2 ratios. Moreover, the different acid properties of the catalysts resulted in different selectivity.

Pt nanoparticles supported on nitrogen doped carbon (Pt/CN) catalysts with different surface areas were obtained and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and brunner-emmet-teller (BET). The characterized results showed that Pt nanoparticles dispersed uniformly on the support surface, and the surface area of the Pt/CN catalyst increased with the increase of annealing temperature. Subsequently, the catalytic performance of Pt/CN catalysts for methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation was studied. The activity of Pt/CN catalysts in methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation increased with the increase of the surface area, Pt/CN-1000 catalyst has the largest surface area and the highest catalytic activity, with the methylcyclohexane conversion of 99% and the TOF value of 424.78 h-1 at 180 ℃ for 150 minutes.
