Pt/H-ZSM5 and Pt/Al2O3 with similar surface
Pt particle sizes and chemical states were prepared by incipient wetness
impregnation as catalysts for soot oxidation. Pt/H-ZSM5 exhibits obviously
higher activities in both O2 and NO + O2 than
Pt/Al2O3. On the basis of the results obtained
with in situ DRIFT and other structural and surface property characterizations,
the high catalytic activity of Pt/H-ZSM5 is currently attributed to
two main factors. First, the acidic H-ZSM5 support inhibits NO2 adsorption on the catalyst, leading to a preferential adsorption
of NO2 on the surface of soot and providing more chances
for NO2–soot reactions. Second, the strong acid
sites on the surface of Pt/H-ZSM5 can participate in the catalytic
formation and decomposition of surface oxygenated complexes. Consequently,
a high catalytic efficiency for soot oxidation is achieved on the
Pt/H-ZSM5 catalyst.
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.
