Silica-Supported Au and Pt Nanoparticles and CO Adsorption
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The understanding of the surface properties of metal nanoparticles is essential for exploiting their unique catalytic properties. This paper reports findings of the preparation of silica-supported Pt and Au nanoparticles and the FTIR characterization of CO adsorption on the supported nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by both a traditional impregnation method and molecular-capping based synthesis method. By comparing the spectroscopic characteristics of CO adsorption on these catalysts, similarities and differences in CO stretching bands have been identified. The findings are significant because important insights have been gained into the surface binding properties of Au and Pt nanoparticle catalysts.
