The facet effect of ceria nanoparticles on platinum dispersion and catalytic activity of methanol partial oxidation

Abstract

The effect of platinum-supported nano-shaped ceria catalysts on methanol partial oxidation and methyl formate product selectivity has been investigated. A Pt-supported CeO2 nanocube catalyst had a higher turnover frequency than nanosphere catalysts; however, nanosphere catalysts showed higher selectivity towards methyl formate. The observed ceria shape effect in catalysis was associated with the shape-dependent Pt dispersion and its oxidation states. Furthermore, in situ studies revealed that the reduced platinum and mono-dentate methoxy group were responsible for the higher turnover frequency.
