CO oxidation over ceria supported Au22 nanoclusters: Shape effect of the support
Abstract
Gold (Au) nanoclusters have recently emerged as ideal models for understanding Au catalysis, because the nanosized Au particles have precise atomic numbers and uniform size. Here, in this work, we studied for the first time the support shape effect on the catalysis of Au nanoclusters by using CO oxidation as a model reaction. Au22(L8)6 (L = 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino) octane) nanoclusters were supported on CeO2 rods or cubes, then pretreated at different temperatures (up to 673 K), allowing the gradual removal of the organic phosphine ligands. CO oxidation test over these differently pretreated samples shows that CeO2 rods are much better supports than cubes for Au22 nanoclusters in enhancing the reaction rate. In situ IR spectroscopy coupled with CO adsorption indicates that the shape of CeO2 support can impact the nature and quantity of exposed Au sites, as well as the efficiency of organic ligand removal. Although CeO2 rods are helpful in exposing a greater percentage of total Au sites upon ligands removal, the percentage of active Au sites (denoted by Auδ+, 0 < δ < 1) is lower than that on CeO2 cubes. The in situ extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) resultsmore »

The in situ extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) results show that the Au nanoclusters bound more strongly to the CeO2 rods than to the cubes where the Au nanoclusters show more sintering. Considering the typical redox mechanism for CO oxidation over supported Au nanoclusters and nanoparticles, it is concluded that the reactivity of the lattice oxygen of CeO2 is the determining factor for CO oxidation over Au22/CeO2. Lastly, CeO2 rods offer more reactive lattice oxygen and abundant oxygen vacancies than the cubes and thus make the rods a superior support for Au nanoclusters in catalyzing low temperature CO oxidation.},
