摘要

Precisely identifying the atomic structure of reducible oxide-supported metal clusters remains challenging yet critical for understanding their catalytic behavior. Herein, we report the preparation of CeO2-supported bi-layer Pt clusters (Ptn/CeO2) via a deposition-reduction strategy, with Pt cluster sizes ranging from 0.8 to 1.2 nm (9–30 atoms). Through combined aberrationcorrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM) imaging, quantitative STEM simulations, and X-ray fine structure (XAFS) analysis, we reveal the bi-layer configuration featuring coordinatively unsaturated Pt0 sites on the top layer while maintaining Pt-CeO2 interfacial bonding at the bottom. When applied to anti-Markovnikov alkene hydrosilylation, Ptn/CeO2 achieves 99.9% silane conversion with a mass-specific activity 2.0× and 8.8× higher than single-atom site (Pt1/CeO2) and nanoparticle (PtNP/CeO2) counterparts, respectively. The bi-layer structure endows exceptional cycling stability and anti-leaching properties. This work establishes a multi-scale characterization paradigm to resolve atomic-precision structures of supported clusters, opening avenues for designing robust catalysts with tailored metaloxide interfaces.
