This invention relates to rare-earth single-atom doped
alumina-supported
platinum cluster catalysts, their preparation methods, and applications. The catalyst comprises a
catalyst support and
platinum nanoclusters dispersed on the
catalyst support. The
catalyst support is an
alumina support doped with rare-earth elements in single-atom form. The preparation method includes the following steps: Step 1: preparing a rare-earth-aluminum composite
metal oxide precursor; Step 2: preparing a catalyst support; Step 3: loading
platinum onto the catalyst support; Step 4: activating the platinum-supported catalyst support. The catalyst is applied in the
dehydrogenation reaction of
cycloalkane. This invention, by precisely
doping rare-earth elements into the
alumina lattice in single-atom form, constructs stable rare-earth-
oxygen active sites within the lattice, significantly promoting the migration and
diffusion of
hydrogen atoms from the platinum clusters to the
support surface, thereby greatly enhancing the
hydrogen spillover effect, improving the utilization efficiency of active
hydrogen, and achieving precise control over complex reaction pathways.
