A series of ceria, silica, and ¦Ã-alumina-supported platinum catalysts were prepared by the incipient-wetness impregnation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to determine the dispersion of Pt. For the Pt/CeO2 catalysts, XRD studies suggest that Pt was better dispersed as its concentration decreased. This observation correlated well with XPS analysis. For catalysts with the same Pt mass loading, TEM and XRD results suggest that Pt dispersion displays an increasing order as Pt/SiO2 < Pt/¦Ã-Al2O3 < Pt/CeO2. Catalytic activities for CO oxidation were investigated. Results showed that the 0.25 wt % Pt/CeO2 exhibited a higher activity than other oxide supported catalysts with a turnover frequency of 2.2 ¡Á 10?3 CO2 per total Pt per second at room temperature.
