Abstract: | Raman spectra of SOx adsorbed on γ-alumina and Pt/γ-alumina model catalysts have been obtained with a 244 nm Raman spectrometer. Strong peaks
in the 980–1380 cm-1 region characteristic of adsorbed sulfates are clearly portrayed in the spectra, which contrast with fluorescence-dominated
scans obtained using visible excitation. Broad bands are also observed in the 3500–3700 cm-1 O–H stretch region on the γ-alumina, which belong to weakly-bound physisorbed water and more strongly-bound surface hydroxyls.
These features are monitored as the samples are heated up to 600°C in the presence of nitrogen. The sulfate peaks vary in
position depending on whether or not the γ-alumina is loaded with platinum, hydrated, or dehydrated. Platinum appears to inhibit
the physisorption of water and the formation of hydroxyls on the γ-alumina surface, as evidenced by the absence of O–H stretch
vibrations on the Pt-loaded sample. Our spectral data demonstrate that UV Raman spectroscopy is a useful technique for analytical
studies of adsorbed SOx on γ-alumina, and holds promise for future in situ investigations of other adsorbed species on catalytic substrates of automotive
interest.
