We report a comprehensive study combining surface science, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, and catalyst synthesis, characterization, and testing to investigate the preferential oxidation of CO in the presence of H2over single-site Pt1/CuxO catalysts. Surface science studies show that while Pt1/CuxO model surfaces enable low-temperature CO oxidation via a Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, there was no evidence for H2activation or oxidation. DFT-based calculations explain these results and demonstrate that the H2oxidation barrier is high as compared to H2desorption from Pt1/CuxO. Inspired by these model catalyst studies, nanoporous Pt1/CuxO catalysts were synthesized and demonstrated to be active and highly selective for the preferential oxidation of CO. This work highlights the potential of combined surface science, theory, and catalyst studies for identifying new catalytic materials, which in this case led to the development of a promising single-site Pt1/CuxO catalyst for the preferential oxidation of CO.
