Characterization of termetallic Pt-Ir-Au catalysts for NO decomposition

摘要

A termetallic catalyst of Pt-Ir-Au/Al2O3 for NOx decomposition was prepared by loading the metallic colloids in C2H5OH-H2O solution and a surfactant of polyvinyl pyrrolidone.Compared with an impregnated Pt/Al2O3 catalyst,the termetallic catalyst of PtIrAu811/Al2O3,with a Pt:Ir:Au atomic ratio of 8:1:1,exhibited higher NO decomposition and selectivity to N2.Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were conducted to clarify the state of the supported metals and indicate three precious metals alloyed on the catalyst.In the study of NO-temperature programmed desorption,oxygen desorption on the PtIrAu811 catalyst shifted to the low temperature side compared to that on Pt/Al2O3,which correlated well with its higher catalytic performance in NO decomposition.
