Title: Silica Encapsulated Heterostructure Catalyst of Pt Nanoclusters on Hematite Nanocubes: Synthesis and Reactivity

Journal Article · · Journal of Materials Chemistry
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/b918208j· OSTI ID:1024647

A three-step method was employed to synthesize monodispersed silica encapsulated composite nanostructures with Pt nanoclusters (<1 nm) densely deposited on the surface of core hematite nanocubes by photoreduction of platinum salt, Pt/{alpha}-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}{at}SiO{sub 2}. The nanostructured composite is an active catalyst for the reverse water-gas shift reaction and stable up to 600 C.
