Designed Pt Promoted 3D Mesoporous Co₃O₄ Catalyst in CO₂ Hydrogenation

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2019 Jan 1;19(1):436-441. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2019.15779.

Abstract

Controlled size Pt nanoparticles were anchored onto the surface of 3D mesoporous cobalt-oxide support and was tested in CO₂ hydrogenation reactions compared to commercial cobalt-oxide supported Pt nanoparticles prepared by the wet impregnation method as well as SBA-15 silica supported nanoparticles. Designed Pt/mesoporous cobalt-oxide catalysts showed the highest activity as well as the highest methane selectivity. Such catalyst was active at 573 K, while other catalysts showed activity >673 K.
