The catalyst Pt‐SnO@MIL‐101(Cr) was prepared using the cis‐PtCl(SMe2)2(SnCl3) complex as a single precursor and characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, (ICP‐OES), X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET surface area analysis (SBET), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), and temperature program reduction (TPR). A new complex, cis‐PtCl(SMe2)2(SnCl3), was synthesized from the reaction of PtCl2(SMe2)2 with SnCl2 and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ICP‐OES, and 1H NMR spectroscopy and used as the source of metals for preparation of the catalysts. The fabricated catalyst, Pt‐SnO@MIL‐101(Cr), with 10.2%, 19.7%, and 28.9% platinum loadings were used in a steam reforming of methanol (MSR) reaction using a microstructure monolith reactor in the temperature range of 150–300 °C. A high methanol conversion with a good selectivity of H2 and low CO selectivity was achieved in light of the stability of the catalyst with a small amount of coke formation in the monolith system.
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.
