Abstract
The reaction rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) oxidation is controlled by the rate-limiting step in the total reaction process. This study proposes a novel strategy, by which the rate-limiting step of acetone oxidation is accelerated by enhanced chemical bond interaction with more electrons transfer through Al-substituted CeO2 loaded Pt (Pt/Al-CeO2). Results indicate that the rate-limiting step in the process of acetone oxidation is the decomposition of acetic acid. Al substitution enhances the Pt-O-Ce interaction that transfers more electrons from Pt/Al-CeO2 to acetic acid, promoting the breaking of its CC bond with a lower free energy barrier. Attributing to these, the reaction rate of Pt/Al-CeO2 is 13 times as high as that of Pt/CeO2 and its TOFPt value is 11 times as high as that of Pt/CeO2 at 150 °C. Moreover, the CO2 selectivity of Pt/Al-CeO2 also increases by 22 %. This work establishes the relationship between Pt-O-Ce interaction and acetone oxidation that provides novel perspectives on the development of efficient materials for VOCs oxidation.

Abstract
NH3 emissions from industrial sources and possibly future energy production constitute a threat to human health because of their toxicity and participation in PM2.5 formation. Ammonia selective catalytic oxidation to N2 (NH3-SCO) is a promising route for NH3 emission control, but the mechanistic origin of achieving high N2 selectivity remains elusive. Here we constructed a highly N2-selective CuO/TiO2 catalyst and proposed a CuOx dimer active site based on the observation of a quadratic dependence of NH3-SCO reaction rate on CuOx loading, ac-STEM, and ab initio thermodynamic analysis. Combining this with the identification of a critical N2H4 intermediate by in situ DRIFTS characterization, a comprehensive N2H4-mediated reaction pathway was proposed by DFT calculations. The high N2 selectivity originated from the preference for NH2 coupling to generate N2H4 over NH2 dehydrogenation on the CuOx dimer active site. This work could pave the way for the rational design of efficient NH3-SCO catalysts.

Abstract
Fine-tuning the dispersion of active metal species on widely used supports is a research hotspot in the catalysis community, which is vital for achieving a balance between the atomic utilization efficiency and the intrinsic activity of active sites. In this work, using bayerite Al(OH)3 as support directly or after precalcination at 200 or 550 °C, Pt/Al2O3 catalysts with distinct Pt dispersions from single atoms to clusters (ca. 2 nm) were prepared and evaluated for CO and NH3 removal. Richer surface hydroxyl groups on AlOx(OH)y support were proved to better facilitate the dispersion of Pt. However, Pt/Al2O3 with relatively lower Pt dispersion could exhibit better activity in CO/NH3 oxidation reactions. Further reaction mechanism study revealed that the Pt sites on Pt/Al2O3 with lower Pt dispersion could be activated to Pt0 species much easier under the CO oxidation condition, on which a higher CO adsorption capacity and more efficient O2 activation were achieved simultaneously. Compared to Pt single atoms, PtOx clusters could also better activate NH3 into -NH2 and -HNO species. The higher CO adsorption capacity and the more efficient NH3/O2 activation ability on Pt/Al2O3 with relatively lower Pt dispersion well explained its higher CO/NH3 oxidation activity. This study emphasizes the importance of avoiding a singular pursuit of single-atom catalyst synthesis and instead focusing on achieving the most effective Pt species on Al2O3 support for targeted reactions. This approach avoids unnecessary limitations and enables a more practical and efficient strategy for Pt catalyst fabrication in emission control applications.
