In this work, we compare the CO oxidation performance of Pt single atom catalysts (SACs) prepared via two methods: (1) conventional wet chemical synthesis (strong electrostatic adsorption-SEA) with calcination at 350 degrees C in air; and (2) high temperature vapor phase synthesis (atom trapping-AT) with calcination in air at 800 degrees C leading to ionic Pt being trapped on the CeO2 in a thermally stable form. As-synthesized, both SACs are inactive for low temperature (<150 degrees C) CO oxidation. After treatment in CO at 275 degrees C, both catalysts show enhanced reactivity. Despite similar Pt metal particle size, the AT catalyst is significantly more active, with onset of CO oxidation near room temperature. A combination of near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and CO temperature-programmed reduction (CO-TPR) shows that the high reactivity at low temperatures can be related to the improved reducibility of lattice oxygen on the CeO2 support.
