Abstract
Pt/H-ZSM5 and Pt/Al2O3 with similar surface Pt particle sizes and chemical states were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation as catalysts for soot oxidation. Pt/H-ZSM5 exhibits obviously higher activities in both O2 and NO + O2 than Pt/Al2O3. On the basis of the results obtained with in situ DRIFT and other structural and surface property characterizations, the high catalytic activity of Pt/H-ZSM5 is currently attributed to two main factors. First, the acidic H-ZSM5 support inhibits NO2 adsorption on the catalyst, leading to a preferential adsorption of NO2 on the surface of soot and providing more chances for NO2–soot reactions. Second, the strong acid sites on the surface of Pt/H-ZSM5 can participate in the catalytic formation and decomposition of surface oxygenated complexes. Consequently, a high catalytic efficiency for soot oxidation is achieved on the Pt/H-ZSM5 catalyst.
