Study on ethanol electro-oxidation over a carbon-supported Pt–Cu alloy catalyst by pinhole on-line electrochemical mass spectrometry

Abstract

A carbon supported Pt–Cu electrocatalyst was synthesized by the microwave-polyol method following acid-treatment and physically characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

ZSM-5 Zeolite-Encapsulated Pt-ZnO Bimetallic Catalysts for the Catalytic Cracking of Iso-Butane

“…Zeolite with an ordered micropore structure is considered an ideal support for confining Pt nanoparticles. In addition, it was found that the formation of bimetallic catalysts with other metals such as Cu, − Fe, , and Sn , could significantly improve the stability of Pt nanoparticles. Iglesia et al , encapsulated 1–2 nm ultrasmall metal nanoparticles in zeolites via the ligand-stabilized method, which showed an excellent antisintering performance.…”
