Abstract
The Pt-Sn bimetallic system is a much studied and commercially used catalyst for propane dehydrogenation. The traditionally prepared catalyst, however, suffers from inhomogeneity and phase separation of the active Pt-Sn phase. Colloidal chemistry offers a route for the synthesis of Pt-Sn bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) in a systematic, well-defined, tailored fashion over conventional methods. Here, the successful synthesis of well-defined ≈2 nm Pt, PtSn, and Pt3 Sn nanocrystals with distinct crystallographic phases is reported; hexagonal close packing (hcp) PtSn and fcc Pt3 Sn show different activity and stability depending on the hydrogen-rich or poor environment in the feed. Moreover, face centred cubic (fcc) Pt3 Sn/Al2 O3 , which exhibited the highest stability compared to hcp PtSn, shows a unique phase transformation from an fcc phase to an L12 -ordered superlattice. Contrary to PtSn, H2 cofeeding has no effect on the Pt3 Sn deactivation rate. The results reveal structural dependency of the probe reaction, propane dehydrogenation, and provide a fundamental understanding of the structure-performance relationship on emerging bimetallic systems.
