Abstract
Titania-supported Au catalysts were given both low temperature reduction and high temperature reduction at 473 and 773 K, respectively, and their adsorption and catalytic properties were compared to identically pretreated Pt/TiO2 catalysts and pure TiO2 samples as well as Au/SiO2 catalysts. This was done to determine whether a reaction model proposed for methanol synthesis over metals dispersed on Zn, Sr and Th oxides could also explain the high activities observed in hydrogenation reactions over MSI (Metal-Support Interaction) catalysts such as Pt/TiO2. This model invokes O vacancies on the oxide support surface, formed by electron transfer from the oxide to the metal across Schottky junctions established at the metal-support interface, as the active sites in this reaction. The similar work functions of Pt and Au should establish similar vacancy concentrations, and O2 chemisorption indicated their presence. However, these Au catalysts were completely inactive for CO and acetone hydrogenation, and ethylene hydrogenation rates were lower on the supported Au catalysts than on the supports alone. Consequently, this model cannot explain the high rate of the two former reactions over TiO2-supported Pt although it does not contradict models invoking specialinterfacial sites.
