The as-obtained Pt-TiO2 NTs possess both enhanced visible light absorption and reduced recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. These merits boost the Pt-TiO2 NTs an excellent photocatalytic material toward photooxidation of a variety of low molecular hydrocarbons under atmospheric environment.展开更多

Owing to the interaction between Pt and La, more Pt particles accompanying La3+ were located in the inner channels of KL zeolite, rather than agglomerated in the external surface. The dispersion of Pt particles was therefore improved. Pt/KL zeolite modified by La showed a little lower reactivity for aromatization of n-hexane, but much higher resistance to sulfur-poisoning because of the existence of new acidic sites.展开更多
