Single-atom catalysts, especially with single Pt atoms, have attracted more and more attention due to their high catalytic activity for CO oxidation. The outstanding stability and catalytic activity of a single Pt atom supported on nitrogen doped graphene (Pt/NG) are revealed using first-principles calculations. We find that the stability of a Pt atom on the NG can be promoted by picking an appropriate doping configuration. The exceptionally stable Pt/NG catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for CO oxidation via a new tri-molecular Eley-Rideal mechanism (2CO + O2 → OCO-OCO → 2CO2) with an energy barrier of 0.16 eV for the rate-limiting step of OCO-OCO dissociation, which is more preferable than the other two normal Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal mechanisms.
单原子催化剂,尤其是含单个铂原子的催化剂,因其对一氧化碳氧化具有高催化活性而受到越来越多的关注。通过第一性原理计算揭示了负载在氮掺杂石墨烯(Pt/NG)上的单个铂原子具有出色的稳定性和催化活性。我们发现,通过选择合适的掺杂构型可以提高铂原子在NG上的稳定性。这种异常稳定的Pt/NG催化剂通过一种新的三分子埃利-里德机理(2CO + O2 → OCO-OCO → 2CO2)对CO氧化表现出优异的催化活性,OCO-OCO解离的速率限制步骤的能垒为0.16 eV,这比另外两种常见的朗缪尔-欣谢尔伍德和埃利-里德机理更具优势。
