Preparation and characterization of bifunctional Pt-Sn/H[Al]ZSM5 catalysts

Bifunctional monometallic Pt/H[Al]ZSM5, Sn/H[Al]ZSM5 and bimetallic Pt-Sn/H[Al]ZSM5 (tin atomic fraction, XSn, of 0.46) catalysts were prepared and characterized by means of XPS, EPR, TEM and toluene hydrogenation. The species on their surface as well as the presence of an effect of the electronic a...

Description
Summary:Bifunctional monometallic Pt/H[Al]ZSM5, Sn/H[Al]ZSM5 and bimetallic Pt-Sn/H[Al]ZSM5 (tin atomic fraction, XSn, of 0.46) catalysts were prepared and characterized by means of XPS, EPR, TEM and toluene hydrogenation. The species on their surface as well as the presence of an effect of the electronic and/or geometric type between Pt and Sn in the bimetallic catalyst, which would result in the existence of reduced tin species (Sn0 and/or Sn-Pt), were determined. These species were determined through XPS and would explain the decrease in the hydrogenating activity in the toluene hydrogenation reaction.
