摘要

Supported-metal catalysts are well-established for industrial catalysis, but controlling the metal-oxide interaction (MSI) is challenging because of the intricate geometric and electronic effects. Herein, this paper describes the strategy of controlling metal-oxide interaction by pre-tailoring the oxygen vacancy (Ov) concentrations on defective metal oxides for supported Pt catalysts. ZnO distinguishes itself among the metal oxides examined, with the structural and chemical attributes of Ov playing a pivotal role in determining its effectiveness. At lower Ov concentration (less than 0.82 mmol/gZnO), the Ov in defective ZnOx impedes Pt growth, while higher Ov concentration (0.82 to 5.63 mmol/gZnO) induces an electron-sufficient Pt state without compromising Pt dispersion. During propane dehydrogenation (PDH), performed under reducing conditions, the optimized Pt/ZnOx achieved 44% of propane conversion and 90% of propylene selectivity at 600 °C under 4 h−1 of C3H8, which is comparable to that of PtSn/Al2O3 analogue. This oxygen vacancy engineering strategy provides mechanistic insights into disentangling geometric and electronic factors, advancing the rational design of MSI-controlled PDH catalysts.
