Importance of platinum particle size for complete oxidation of toluene over Pt/ZSM-5 catalysts

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Apr 7;51(27):5936-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09383f. Epub 2015 Mar 4.

Abstract

Size-controllable Pt nanoparticles ranging from 1.3 to 2.3 nm were successfully loaded onto ZSM-5 (Pt-x/ZSM-5, where x is the mean diameter of the Pt nanoparticles). Catalytic tests in complete oxidation of toluene as a model for VOC removal show that Pt-1.9/ZSM-5 has the highest activity, due to a balance of Pt dispersion and Pt(0) proportion.
