The present work reports on the development of new catalysts for the production of hydrogen via the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. In particular, the effect of Ce/La atom ratio on the catalytic performance of 0.5 wt% Pt supported on Ce1−xLaxO2−δ (x=0.0,0.2,0.5,0.8,1.0) mixed metal oxides for the WGS reaction was investigated. It was found that the addition of 20 at.% La3+ in CeO2 lattice increased significantly the catalytic activity and stability of 0.5 wt% Pt/Ce0.8La0.2O2−δ solid. More precisely, a lower amount of “carbon” was accumulated on the catalyst surface, whereas surface acidity and basicity studies showed that Ce0.8La0.2O2−δ had the highest concentration of labile oxygen and acid sites, and the lowest concentration of basic sites compared to the other Ce1−xLaxO2−δ mixed metal oxide supports (x=0.2,0.5,0.8).

Identifying the role of oxide supports in transition metal catalysis is critical toward our understanding of heterogeneous catalysis. The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is a prototypical example where oxide support dictates catalytic activity, yet the cause for this remains uncertain. Herein, we show that a single descriptor—the equilibrium constant for hydroxyl formation—relates the WGS turnover frequency across disparate oxide supports. The dissimilar equilibrium constant, or oxophilicity, between early and late transition metals exemplify the utility of metal-support interfacial sites to circumvent adsorption-energy scaling restrictions, thereby providing bifunctional gains for the WGS reaction class. In relation, the equilibrium constant for hydroxyl formation is equivalent to the equilibrium constant for the formal heterolytic dissociation of hydrogen, and therefore, reflects the ability of the metal-support interface to participate in hydrogen heterolysis. The ubiquitous coexistence, yet divergent chemical behavior of homo- and heterolytically activated hydrogen renders oxide support identity central toward our understanding of hydrogenation catalysis.

A new photothermal device is constructed by the Cr based selective light absorption film which can heat the 2D CuZnAl to 297 °C under 1 standard sun irradiation, leading to a 192 mmol g−1 h−1 of H2 production rate from 1 sun irradiated WGS reaction.
