Abstract
CO adsorption and oxidation over supported Pt14 with different CO coverage on TiO2(110) surface were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and thermodynamic analysis. According to the phase diagram, Pt14/TiO2(110) and 11CO@Pt14/TiO2(110) were chosen to represent the low and high CO coverage of Pt clusters, respectively. Our study shows that the high coverage of CO can induce the structural change of supported Pt clusters and weaken the interaction between Pt clusters and TiO2 support. The CO adsorption and oxidation mechanism depends on the CO coverage, which is determined by the experimental reactant composition, pressure, and temperature. At low CO coverage, the dissociated oxygen is active specie to form CO2 by reacting with CO. At high coverage, the molecular oxygen can directly react with CO via the formation of OOCO intermediate. Our proposed mechanisms provide useful information for understanding the CO oxidation over Pt clusters with different CO coverage. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
