Abstract
A series of zeolite-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/NaZSM-5) have been prepared by adjusting Si/Al ratio of NaZSM-5 zeolite from 60 to pure silica. Catalytic tests in propene oxidation as an important model reaction for removal of hydrocarbons emitted from automobiles during cold-start, show that the catalytic activities significantly increase with Si/Al ratios of NaZSM-5 zeolite in these Pt/NaZSM-5 catalysts. As a typical example, Silicalite-1 supported Pt nanoparticles exhibits the highest activity, giving the 50% conversion temperature (T50) and 90% conversion temperature (T90) at 112 °C and 118 °C, respectively. Characterizations of these catalysts with multiple techniques show that the enhanced catalytic activities are strongly related to the zeolite Si/Al ratios of the catalysts, where an increase of zeolite Si/Al ratio is favorable for the adsorption of propene, promoting the propene oxidation. This feature might offer a good opportunity to design and prepare highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts for removal of light olefins in the future.
