Can microwave assisted in situ reduction of supported Pt nanoparticles challenge the chemical method in controlling the dispersion profile-catalytic performance relationship?
Keyword(s):
In this comparative study of dispersion profile-catalytic performance relationships, Pt (of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 wt%) was supported on mesoporous silica surface via microwave assisted solution method or rotary chemical evaporation method in the in situ reduction step.
