Abstract

The gas-condensation technique is used to produce the nanocrystalline WO3−C, Pt/WO3−X and Pd/WO3−X powders under different atmospheres and pressures. High resolution electron microscope shows there exists well bonded interface between Pt or Pd and WO3−X The WO3−X, Pt/WO3−X and Pd/WO3−x nanocrystals grow into needle shape with plate inside when these asevaporated powders are compacted and sintered at 900 °C for two hours. The plate grows preferentially in {220) plane along < 001 > direction. However, the mean particle size of nanophase Pt and Pd only increases from less than 10 nm to 30 nm and 50 nm, respectively. The gas chromatography results show that nanophase Pt/VO3−X powders have better catalytic effects in converting CO to CO2 than nanophase WO3−X and Pd/WO3−X powders.
