Abstract

Supported metal or oxide nanostructures catalyze many industrial reactions, where the interaction of metal or oxide overlayer with its support can have a substantial influence on catalytic performance. In this work, we show that small Pt species can be well stabilized on CeO2 under both H2-containing and O2-containing atmospheres but sintering happens on SiO2, indicating that CeO2 is active whereas SiO2 is inert in Pt–support interaction. On the other hand, Co oxide (CoOx) supported on SiO2 can maintain a low-valence Co2+ state both in air and during CO2 hydrogenation to CO, indicating a strong interaction of CoOx with SiO2. However, the CoOx overlayer has a weak interaction with CeO2 and is easily reduced to…
