Abstract

4.8 nm Pt nanoparticles were anchored onto the surface of mesoporous nickel-oxide supports (NiO). Pt/NiO samples were compared to pristine NiO and Pt/SBA-15 silica catalysts in CO2 hydrogenation to form carbon-monoxide, methane and ethane at 473-673 K. 1 % Pt/NiO were ~20 times and ~1.5 times more active at 493 K compared to Pt/SBA-15 and NiO catalysts, respectively. However, the Pt-free NiO support has an activity of 120% compared to Pt/NiO catalysts at 673 K. In the case of 1% Pt/SBA-15 catalyst, selectivity towards methane was 13 %, while it was 90% and 98% for NiO and 1% Pt/NiO at 673 K, respectively. Exploration of the results of the reactions was performed by Near Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) as well as in-situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS). In the case of pure NiO, we found that the surface of the support was mainly covered by elemental Ni under reaction condition, where the Ni/NiOx system is responsible for the high activity of Pt-free catalyst. In the case of Pt/NiO, Pt improves the reduction of NiOx towards metallic Ni. In the case of the 1 % Pt/NiO catalysts, the presence of limited amount of Pt resulted in an optimal quantity of oxidized Pt fraction at 673 K showing the presence of a Pt/PtOx/Ni/NiOx mixed phase where the different interfaces may be responsible for the high activity and selectivity towards methane. In the case of pure NiO under reaction condition, small amounts of formaldehyde as well as hydrogen perturbed CO [HnCO (n=1,2)] were detected. However, in the case of 1 % Pt/NiO catalysts, besides the absence of formaldehyde a significant amount of HnCO (n=2-3) was present on the surface responsible for the high activity and methane selectivity.
