Atomically dispersed transition metals (Ru, Pd and Pt) have been prepared on CeO<sub>2</sub> and evaluated for NOx/CO abatement applications for diesel and gasoline engines, such as low temperature passive NOx adsorption (PNA), NO and CO oxidation, and three-way-catalysis (TWC). 0.5 wt% Ru/CeO<sub>2</sub> catalyst (Ru is ~27 and ~7 times cheaper than Rh and Pd) shows remarkable PNA performance, better than 1 wt% Pd/Zeolite: it achieves 100% removal of NOx during vehicle cold start. FTIR measurements reveal the formation of stable Ru(NO) complexes as well spill-over of NO to CeO<sub>2</sub> surface via the Ru-O-Ce shuttle, explaining high NO storage. Notably, Ru/ceria survives hydrothermal aging at 750 ⁰C without loss of PNA capacity. It is also a robust NO oxidation catalyst, considerably more active than Pt or Pd/CeO<sub>2</sub>. Expanding the repertoire of Ru/CeO<sub>2</sub> catalytic applications, we further find 0.1 and 0.5 wt% Ru/CeO<sub>2</sub> to be excellent TWC catalysts, rivaling best single-atom Rh supported materials. Our study pushes the frontier of precious metal atom economy for environmental catalysis from uber expensive Rh/Pd/Pt to more sustainable cheaper Ru and highlights the utility of single-atom catalysts for industrially relevant applications.

AbstractSelective hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived glycerol to propanediol is an important reaction to produce high value-added chemicals but remains a big challenge. Herein we report a PtCu single atom alloy (SAA) catalyst with single Pt atom dispersed on Cu nanoclusters, which exhibits dramatically boosted catalytic performance (yield: 98.8%) towards glycerol hydrogenolysis to 1,2-propanediol. Remarkably, the turnover frequency reaches up to 2.6 × 103 molglycerol·molPtCu–SAA−1·h−1, which is to our knowledge the largest value among reported heterogeneous metal catalysts. Both in situ experimental studies and theoretical calculations verify interface sites of PtCu–SAA serve as intrinsic active sites, in which the single Pt atom facilitates the breakage of central C–H bond whilst the terminal C–O bond undergoes dissociation adsorption on adjacent Cu atom. This interfacial synergistic catalysis based on PtCu–SAA changes the reaction pathway with a decreased activation energy, which can be extended to other noble metal alloy systems.
