NO reduction by CH4 over well-structured Pt nanocrystal supported on gamma-Al2O3
Platinum nanocrystals, having mainly (100) structure, have been prepared by a colloid method and then supported on gamma -Al2O3. The catalytic test of Pt(100)/Al2O3 for the NO/CH4 reaction showed that the formation of NH3 and CO side products was prevented in contrast to the conventional Pt/gamma -Al2O3 catalyst that gives relatively high selectivity to NH3 and CO.
