Abstract

Pt supported on iron hydroxyphosphate catalysts has been synthesized and characterized by various adsorption and spectroscopic methods. X-ray diffraction patterns of the supported and unsupported catalysts indicate a very weak diffraction line due to the Fe₅(PO₄)₃(OH)₅ phase. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies reveal a surface composition attributed to Fe₅(PO₄)₃(OH)₅ species. The temperature programmed sequential reduction-oxidation-reduction of 1wt.% Pt/Fe₅(PO₄)₃(OH)₅ indicates the absence of H₂ spillover due to Pt on the Fe₅(PO₄)₃(OH)₅ support. The temperature programmed reduction studies also show the non-reducible behavior of Fe₅(PO₄)₃(OH)₅ phase.
