Platinized tin oxide surfaces used for low-temperature CO oxidation in CO2 lasers have been characterized before and after reduction in CO at 125 and 250 C using ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS indicates that the Pt is present initially as PtO2. Reduction at 125 C converts the PtO2 to Pt(OH)2 while reduction at 250 C converts the PtO2 to metallic Pt. ISS shows that the Pt in the outermost atomic layer of the catalyst is mostly covered by substrate species during the 250 C reduction. Both the ISS and XPS results are consistent with Pt/Sn alloy formation. The surface dehydration and migration of substrate species over surface Pt and Sn appear to explain why a CO pretreatment at 250 C produces inferior CO oxidation activities compared to a 125 C pretreatment.

The addition of Pd to Pt-based diesel oxidation catalysts is known to enhance performance and restrict the anomalous growth of Pt nanoparticles when subjected to aging at high temperatures in oxidative environments. To gain a mechanistic understanding, we studied the transport of the mobile Pt and Pd species to the vapor phase, since vapor phase transport is the primary route for sintering in these catalysts. The results are surprising: there is a 30-fold drop in the effective vapor pressure of Pt in the Pt-Pd catalysts compared to monometallic Pt. At the same time, there is a significant enhancement in the vapor pressure of Pd, compared to PdO, which otherwise has a negligible vapor pressure at the aging temperature. Such behavior cannot be explained simply by alloying Pt and Pd in the metallic phase, or a core-shell morphology where a PdO shell covers a Pt core. Transmission electron microscopic examination of catalysts aged up to 50 h in air at 800 °C shows that the particles exhibit a biphasic “Janus”-like structure. The metal and oxide phases are conjoined, exposing a metal and an oxide face to the gas phase. The high mobility of the Pt and Pd allows them to be partitioned into the metal and oxide phases, in apparent thermodynamic equilibrium. The PdO helps to trap mobile PtO2 and as a result contains high concentrations of Pt oxide, consistent with its role in mitigating the transport of Pt to the vapor phase and preventing the growth of anomalously large particles. In turn, Pt allows Pd to remain metallic, allowing the catalyst to retain both metal and oxide functionality for catalysis. The regeneration of deactivated catalysts typically requires an external input, such as a change in the working environment from reducing to oxidizing or vice-versa. Here, we show that the mobile species, which are primary contributors to catalyst sintering are effectively returned to the active site, hence our use of the term “selfhealing”. The detailed insights into the inner workings of the Pt-Pd diesel oxidation catalysts can help provide clues to the design of robust and durable heterogeneous catalysts.
