| Abstract | Pt nanoparticles were synthesized on gamma-alumina support in presence of oleic acid which was found to prevent clustering of Pt nanoparticles on the support. Various percentage of Pt loading on the alumina changed the catalytic activity for preferential oxidation of CO at relatively low temperature in H-2 rich stream. Pt nanoparticles when synthesized in absence of oleic acid, were all clustered and did not have any catalytic activity. The presence of oleic acid promoted stability preventing agglomeration of Pt nanoparticles. The catalyst thus prepared was characterized thoroughly and their catalytic activity was studied in details. |
