Popis: | The effect of coating TiO2 on the CO oxidation of the Pt/γ-alumina catalysts was observed through activity tests and surface characterization spectroscopy by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) experiments. XPS results evidenced the occurrence of different Pt2+ species and metallic Pt0 at the surface which suggest electron transfer of titanium (cation) to the platinum atom and the reduction of titanium (Ti4+ → Ti3+). FTIR analyses suggested oxygen spillover mechanism at the interface between titanium dioxide and platinum that may explain the catalytic activity of the platinum titania-supported catalysts. The apparent activation energy for the CO oxidation was 52.5 kJ/mol and similar for all catalysts. However, the frequency factor changed significantly, indicating interfacial phenomena caused by CO and oxygen adsorptions over TiO x species and Al2O3 support with similar dispersions. |
