Superior activity of Rh1/ZnO single-atom catalyst for CO oxidation

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(19)63411-X

Abstract

Abstract: CO oxidation is of great importance in both fundamental study and industrial application. Supported noble metal catalysts are highly active for CO oxidation but suffer from the scarcity and high cost. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) can maximize the metal atom efficiency. Herein, ZnO nanowire (ZnO-nw) supported Rh, Au, and Pt SACs were successfully developed to investigate their CO oxidation performance. Interestingly, it was found that Rh₁/ZnO-nw showed much higher activity than the other noble metals which are usually regarded as good candidates for CO oxidation. In addition, the Rh SAC possessed high stability in high-temperature CO oxidation under simulated conditions in the presence of water and hydrocarbons. The high activity and stability make Rh₁/ZnO-nw promising for practical applications, especially in the automotive exhaust emission control. Theoretical calculations indicate that the CO oxidation proceeds via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism and the lowest barrier for the rate-limiting O₂ dissociation at a surface oxygen vacancy site is a key factor in determining the observed highest activity of Rh₁/ZnO-nw amongst the studied SACs.

Key words: Single-atom catalysis, Carbon monoxide oxidation, Rhodium, Zinc oxide nanowire, Density functional theory calculations
