摘要
The effect of the morphological characteristics of a TiO<sub>2sub> support on the reverse water-gas shift reaction over Pt/TiO<sub>2sub> catalysts was examined. The activity of Pt catalysts with 6 different types of TiO<sub>2sub> supports varied during the reverse water-gas shift reaction. Analysis using H<sub>2sub> Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) and Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) confirmed that the active sites of the Pt/TiO<sub>2sub> catalyst included both the Pt sites and the TiO<sub>2sub> sites, which were reducible, and the difference in the activity of the Pt/TiO<sub>2sub> catalysts was dependent on the reducibility of the TiO<sub>2sub> supports. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the TiO<sub>2sub> crystallite size was a key factor that dictated the reducibility of the TiO<sub>2sub> sites.
