Title: Combining Electronic and Geometric Effects of ZnO-Promoted Pt Nanocatalysts for Aqueous Phase Reforming of 1-Propanol

Abstract

Compared with Pt/Al2O3, sintering-resistant Pt nanoparticle catalysts promoted by ZnO significantly improved the reactivity and selectivity toward hydrogen formation in the aqueous phase reforming (APR) of 1-propanol. The improved performance was found to benefit from both the electronic and geometric effects of ZnO thin films. In situ small-angle X-ray scattering and scanning transmission electron microscopy showed that ZnO-promoted Pt possessed promising thermal stability under APR reaction conditions. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy showed clear charge transfer between ZnO and Pt nanoparticles. The improved reactivity and selectivity seemed to benefit from having both Pt-ZnO and Pt-Al2O3 interfaces.
