Abstract
In this work, the Pt/CeO2 catalysts with different calcination temperatures have been tested to evaluate their effect on hydrogen iodide (HI) decomposition in the sulfur−iodine cycle at various temperatures. The Pt/CeO2 catalysts strongly enhance the decomposition of HI to H2 by comparison with blank yield, especially the catalysts calcinated at high temperature. TG-FTIR, BET, XRD, TEM, and TPR were performed for catalysts characterization. Platinum was introduced into ceria to form the Pt/CeO2 catalysts by sol–gel. It was found that, through the sol–gel method, the Pt ions could be inserted into the ceria lattice. This brought about a different synergistic effect between the Pt and Ce components, such as increase of the oxygen mobility in ceria support and improvement of the thermal stability of catalyst. According to a so-called “self-regeneration” model and the results of XRD and TPR, a similar mechanism is supposed to exist in the Pt/CeO2 catalysts synthesized by sol–gel at high calcination temperatur...
