  • Title: Synthesis and characterization of highly dispersed bimetallic Au-Rh nanoparticles supported on titanate nanotubes for CO oxidation reaction at low temperature.

    Journal: Environ Sci Pollut Res Int; 2021 Mar; 28(9):10734-10748. PubMed ID: 33099755.
    Abstract:
    Low-temperature CO oxidation was carried out by using rhodium incorporated into titanate nanotubes (Rh/NTs) prepared by the sol-gel and hydrothermal methods; otherwise, gold nanoparticles were deposited homogeneously onto the Rh/NT surface through the deposition-precipitation with urea (DPU) method. The Au-Rh/NT sample exhibited high metal dispersion (55%), outstanding CO oxidation at low temperature, and better resistance to deactivation than the monometallic Rh/NT and Au/NT samples. The characterization of bimetallic samples, with particle sizes from 1 to 3 nm, revealed the remarkable presence of interacting Au and Rh species in metallic state. In this way, Au0 and Rh0 were answerable for the higher catalytic activity observed in the bimetallic samples. The interaction between Au and Rh in the nanoparticles of Au-Rh/NT promoted a synergistic effect on the CO oxidation reaction, explained by the creation of new CO adsorption sites.
