Atomically dispersed metal catalysts can maximize the utilization of metals and provide unique chemical properties for catalytic reactions. However, the stabilities of high-loading metal clusters on solid supports are still under dispute, because small clusters are prone to agglomerate into larger particles at high temperature. Here, we prepared thermally stable highly dispersed Pt species immobilized by bridging Zn 2+ sites and silanol groups (Si-OH) on self-pillared silicalite-1 zeolite nanosheets (SP-S-1). The rotationally overgrown zeolite sheet-like structure provided a high specific surface area and abundant Si-OH, which favored atomically dispersed active sites with ZnO x -Si nanoclusters. The as-prepared PtZn/SP-S-1 exhibited a high specific activity of 1.23 mol C3H6 •g catal −1 • h −1 at 580 °C with propylene selectivity up to 99%. Moreover, no obvious deactivation was observed after 90 h on stream under a weight hourly space velocity of 15 h −1 . The self-pillared nanosheetsupported metal catalysts provide prospective guidance for high-temperature catalysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
