Abstract:

Platinum group metals (PGMs) usually exhibit promising aerobic catalytic abilities, providing a green and feasible oxidative desulfurization method. However, often, the PGM nanoparticles (NPs) get leached, and the catalysts are deactivated. In this work, Pt NPs with particle sizes of approximately 4-5 nm were encapsulated effectively and uniformly on the surface of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanosheets (with thicknesses of approximately six atomic layers) through strong metal-support interactions. The synthesized catalysts promote catalytic aerobic oxidation reactions, realizing deep desulfurization (99.1%, < 5 μg g-1) under atmospheric pressure and 110 °C reaction temperature. Remarkable degrees of sulfur removal could be achieved for oils with different initial S-concentrations and substrates. Additionally, the as-prepared catalysts could be recycled for reuse at least seven times.
