Platinum group metals (PGM) are widely used for exhaust emission abatement. Sintering during the high-temperature emission control conditions decreases noble metal utilization efficiency. Efficient use of scarce noble metals requires sinter-resistant catalysts. Here we extend an approach to synthesize catalysts consisting of platinum nanoparticles encapsulated in a mixture of cerium and aluminum oxides (Pt@Al₂O₃-CeO₂). We tested the activity of this catalyst toward carbon monoxide, propene, and propane oxidation chosen as model oxidation reactions for emission control catalysts. Pt@Al₂O₃-CeO₂ catalysts demonstrated similar activity and stability upon aging as the comparison system without ceria, Pt@Al₂O₃, while maintaining small Pt nanoparticles and ceria crystallites. Additionally, we studied the influence of various thermal treatments on CO oxidation activity and determined that a steam treatment can activate low temperature CO oxidation activity of Pt@Al₂O₃-CeO₂. STEM-EDS analysis revealed that thermal treatments led to the co-location of Pt and CeO₂ and temperature programmed-reduction analysis revealed that the steam treatment specifically enhanced CO oxidation activity through surface reduction of the CeO₂. As a result, we demonstrate the versatility of this encapsulation approach to generate mixed metal-oxide supports with improved metal-support interactions without hindering nanoparticle stability.
