要旨

To control the size and structure of supported Pt catalysts, the influence of additional metal particles and the effect of supports were elucidated during the cracking reaction of n-dodecane under supercritical reaction conditions. The dynamical changes in nanocatalysts and catalytic activity are studied under realistic reaction conditions by using a combination of simultaneous temperature-programmed heating, in situ Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES). In situ SAXS results indicate that the stability of the catalysts increases with Sn concentration. In situ XANES analysis reveals that the degree of oxidation and the electronic states of catalysts are dependent on the amount of Sn. Carbonaceous deposits over spent catalysts were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, indicating that the highest Sn loading inhibits the formation of disordered graphitic lattices, which leads to an increased catalytic activity. SiO2, γ-Al2O3 and Mg(Al)Ox were employed as supports to investigate the support effect on the stability of Pt catalysts. In situ SAXS and XANES results clearly show the improved stability of catalysts on γ-Al2O3 and Mg(Al)Ox supports compared to Pt catalysts on SiO2 and the electronic states of catalysts are strongly influenced by support materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
