Gas-phase HDO of 3-pentanone on bifunctional catalyst Pt/CsPW enhanced by PtAu alloying.
PtAu alloying increases turnover rate at Pt sites and catalyst stability to deactivation.
Evidence of PtAu alloying provided from STEM-EDX and XRD.
Preference of CO over CC bond hydrogenation for PtAu/CsPW compared to Pt/CsPW.
