We performed a systematic study of CO oxidation on a single Pt atom supported on penta-graphene (Pt/PG) by utilizing spin-polarized first-principles calculations. The results manifested that Pt/PG, as a single-atom catalyst, exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward CO oxidation and provided a novel strategy for the design of single-atom catalysts based on penta-graphene.

Pt nano-particles are supported on carbon materials at the electrode catalysts of protonexchange menbrane fuel cells. Pt nano-particles are desirable to be strongly adsorbed on carbon materials for high dispersion, although strong Pt-C interactions may affect the catalytic activity of small clusters. Thus we have examined H-atom absorption on Pt clusters supported or unsupported on graphene sheets, using first-principles calculations. For Pt-atom/graphene systems, a H atom is more weakly adsorbed than for a free Pt atom, and the H-Pt interaction becomes weaker if the interaction between a Pt atom and graphene becomes stronger. For the Ptn-cluster/graphene systems (n=2-4), the H-Pt interactions are also substantially changed from those for free Pt clusters. In the Pt clusters on graphene, the Pt-Pt distances are substantially changed associated with the electronicstructure changes by the Pt-C interactions. These structural and electronic changes in the Pt clusters as well as the presence of graphene itself seem to cause the changes in the absorption energies and preferential sites of H-atom absorption.

Based on the calculations from the first principles, we obtained the distributions of valence electron densities and electronic energy spectra for small Ptn clusters (where n = 1-5 atoms). According to the results of calculations, it is determined that the inclusion of oxygen atoms or atoms of other kinds in small Ptn clusters, as a rule, affect the catalytic activity of research systems. It is established that during doping of small platinum clusters by atoms of 3-d transition metals (Cu, Ni, Co), the electronic structure of the cluster and the band gap change. This in turn helps to increase the catalytic activity of platinum.
