Popis: γ-Al2O3 was doped with TEOS solution to obtain SiO2 content in the range of 0.6–12.4 wt%. Pt dispersion was effectively enhanced by 82 and 45 % by doping 0.6 and 1.2 wt% SiO2, and was slightly declined afterward. However, oxygen mobility as described by the reduction of basicity was monotonically decreased with increasing SiO2 content. The results from CO oxidation tests reveal a linear relationship between TOFs and desorbed-CO2. It is suggested that oxygen mobility plays a distinct role in controlling the surface reaction between CO and O surface species, which were activated by different adjacent Pt clusters. The highly dispersed Pt catalysts obtained by this technique can also be applied to other structure-insensitive reactions such as propane dehydrogenation.
