Bimetallic Cu-Pt catalysts over nanoshaped ceria for hydrogen production via methanol decomposition

Luis Lopez-Rodriquez et al.

Summary: This study investigates the catalytic systems of Pt/CeO2 and bimetallic Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts supported on different CeO2 nano shapes (polyhedra, rods, and cubes) for hydrogen production from the methanol decomposition reaction. The properties of the bimetallic Cu-Pt/CeO2 samples were found to be support-morphology-dependent, with better copper and ceria reducibility in samples supported on polyhedra and rods. An improvement in oxygen vacancies was observed in the bimetallic system due to the interaction between copper and ceria. The bimetallic samples showed higher H-2 yield compared to platinum, making them suitable for hydrogen production from methanol decomposition.
