Popis: | Si-modified Pt/CeO2 catalysts were prepared for a water-gas shift (WGS) reaction and the effects of this silica addition on the textural and structural characteristics, reducibility and WGS reaction performance of Pt/CeO2 were investigated. The surface areas of the prepared catalysts increased and both interplanar spacing and average crystalline size of ceria gradually decreased with Si content, resulting in less crystalline and smaller particles. Si addition up to 20 wt. % facilitated the bulk reduction of ceria by inducing significant hydrogen consumption. The oxygen defects in the support, associated with lower valence state cerium, increased with the Si addition. These modifications offer a promising potential to increase the density of hydroxyl groups on the surface of the ceria and consequently increase the concentration of surface intermediate species. The addition of Si to ceria improved the catalytic performance for the WGS reaction, in spite of its irreducible nature. Pt catalysts supported on Si-modified ceria, with a Si content of 5–10 wt.%, exhibited a 2.5-fold increase in reaction rate and turnover frequency (TOF) compared to that of Pt/CeO2. |
