Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit remarkable catalytic activity at each metal site. However, conventionally synthesized single-atom catalysts often possess low metal loading, thereby constraining their overall catalytic performance. Here, a flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method for the synthesis of a single-atom catalyst with a high loading capacity of up to 1.4 wt.% in practice is reported. CeZrO acts as a carrier and provides a large number of anchoring sites, which promotes the high-density generation of Pd, and the strong interaction between the metal and the support avoids atom aggregation. Pd-CeZrO series catalysts have excellent CO oxidation performance. When 0.97 wt.% Pd is added, the catalytic activity is the highest, and the temperature can be reduced to 120 °C. This work presented here demonstrates that FSP, as an inherently scalable technique, allows for elevating the single-atom loading to achieve an increase in its catalytic performance. The method presented here more options for the preparation of SACs.
单原子催化剂(SACs)在每个金属位点都表现出卓越的催化活性。然而,传统合成的单原子催化剂通常金属负载量较低,从而限制了它们的整体催化性能。在此,报道了一种火焰喷雾热解(FSP)方法,用于实际合成负载量高达1.4 wt.%的高负载单原子催化剂。CeZrO用作载体并提供大量锚定位点,这促进了Pd的高密度生成,并且金属与载体之间的强相互作用避免了原子聚集。Pd-CeZrO系列催化剂具有优异的CO氧化性能。当添加0.97 wt.%的Pd时,催化活性最高,温度可降至120°C。本文介绍的这项工作表明,FSP作为一种本质上可扩展的技术,能够提高单原子负载量以实现其催化性能的提升。本文提出的方法为单原子催化剂的制备提供了更多选择。
