Abstract: | Na+-intercalated carbon nanotubes (Na-CNTs) were obtained by impregnation of CNTs with sodium acetate followed by annealing at high temperatures under argon. Stable Na-CNTs-supported Pt catalysts (Pt/Na-CNT catalysts) were then prepared for hydrogen purification via preferential CO oxidation in a H2-rich stream (CO-PROX). Characteristic studies show that the content of Na+ species in CNTs is increased with increased annealing temperature and the Pt nanoparticles with an average size of 2–3 nm are uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of Na-CNTs. An optimized Pt/Na-CNT catalyst with 5 wt% Pt loading can completely remove CO from 40 °C to 200 °C. This catalyst also exhibits long-term stability for 1000 h at 100 °C in feed gas containing 1% CO, 1% O2, 50% H2, 15% CO2, and 10% H2O balanced with N2. The electron transfer between the Pt nanoparticles and Na+ species plays an important role in enhancing the CO-PROX performance of the catalyst. |
