    Abstract

    Amorphous Pt oxides (am-PtOx) were formed by the leaching of copper from a Cu3Pt alloy in concentrated HNO3 at 323K for 12 h. The resulting am-PtOx was characterized using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal analysis (TGDTA, TPD) and the BET method. This material had a high specific surface area with micropores (61.7m2/g) and decomposed to form Pt and O2 at approximately 720 K. The catalytic performance of the am-PtOx during CO oxidation was superior to that of a conventional Pt black catalyst. This study demonstrated a novel method of preparing am-PtOx with applications as a catalyst.
