This invention discloses a method for preparing an Au / Pt
nanowire catalyst for
ammonia oxidation. The method includes: firstly, dissolving
chloroauric acid and 1-naphthol in a mixed
solvent of
ultrapure water and
ethanol to obtain a golden solution; reacting the obtained golden solution under constant temperature conditions, and obtaining a black precipitate after
centrifugation and washing; adding the black precipitate to n-
hexane for
ultrasonic dispersion, centrifuging and washing again, and then adding
oleylamine and dodecylamine for ultrasonic treatment to obtain a black solution; adding hexadecyltrimethylammonium
chloride, 1,2-
butanediol,
platinum acetylacetonate, and
oleylamine to the black solution, and mixing evenly to obtain a light yellow solution; ultrasonicating the light yellow solution and reacting it under constant temperature conditions, followed by
centrifugation and washing to obtain the black precipitate, which is the Au / Pt
nanowire catalyst. This catalyst has a one-dimensional chain-like Au-supported structure with uniformly grown Pt-based nanodendrons on its surface, forming a typical epitaxial growth structure. This structure not only has high atomic utilization and excellent
structural stability, but also abundant active sites and good
electron transfer efficiency, which is beneficial to
mass transfer and charge transfer during the
ammonia oxidation reaction. The Au / Pt
nanowire catalyst prepared by this invention not only has significant
ammonia oxidation catalytic performance, but also has good stability, a controllable preparation process, and is easy to prepare on a large scale.
