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 Pt Sn nanocrystals with distinct crystallographic phases is reported; hexagonal close packing (hcp) PtSn and fcc Pt Sn show different activity and stability depending on the hydrogen-rich or poor environment in the feed. Moreover, face centred cubic (fcc) Pt Sn/Al O , which exhibited the highest stability compared to hcp PtSn, shows a unique phase transformation from an fcc phase to an L1 -ordered superlattice. Contrary to PtSn, H cofeeding has no effect on the Pt 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.

Herein, we report, for the first-time, mesoporous carbon-supported binary and ternary catalysts with different atomic ratios of Pt/MC (100), Pt-Sn/MC (50 : 50), Pt-Re/MC (50 : 50), Pt-Sn-Re/MC (80 : 10 : 10) and Pt-Sn-Re/MC (80 : 115 : 05) prepared using a co-impregnation reduction method as anode components for membraneless ethanol fuel cells (MLEFLs). Mechanistic and structural insights into binary Pt-Sn/MC, Pt-Re/MC and ternary Pt-Sn-Re/MC catalysts were obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) methods. In particular, chemical characterization cyclic voltammetry, CO stripping voltammetry and chronoamperometry indicated that Pt-Sn-Re/MC (80 : 15 : 05) had better dynamics toward ethanol oxidation than Pt-Sn-Re/MC (80 : 10 : 10), Pt-Sn/MC (50 : 50) and Pt-Re/MC (50 : 50) catalysts.

Pt-based catalysts can be poisoned by the chlorine formed during the oxidation of multicomponent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) containing chlorinated VOCs. Improving the low-temperature chlorine resistance of catalysts is important for industrial applications, although it is yet challenging. We hereby demonstrate the essential catalytic roles of a bifunctional catalyst with an atomic-scale metal/oxide interface constructed by an intermetallic compound nanocrystal.

The composite of Pt with transition metals is viewed as the most promising anode material for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. Besides the decrease in the Pt loading, these multimetallic structures help in circumventing CO poisoning issues associated with a Pt catalyst. Herein, we prepared and loaded Pt-Sn bimetallic nanoparticles on an electron-rich and stable substrate consisting of graphitic nitride (GCN) and graphene oxide (GO)/reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) hybrid composites.

Conversion of sugars into sugar alcohols at room temperature with exceedingly high yields are achieved over Pt-Sn/γ-AlO catalyst in the presence of calcined hydrotalcite. pH of the reaction mixture significantly affects the conversion and selectivity for sugar alcohols. Selection of a suitable base is the key to achieve optimum yields.
