We introduce a catalyst composed of isolated Pt atoms surrounded by Ni atoms in a Ni-Pt alloy (iso-Pt), which was prepared on aluminum oxide (Al2O3) obtained by a simple impregnation method with typical hydrogen reduction pretreatment. This catalyst exhibited a relatively high CH4-formation rate while maintaining excellent selectivity for CH4 evolution, when compared to bulk Ni atoms (bulk-Ni), although bulk Pt atoms (bulk-Pt) produced CO rather than CH4. Kinetic studies revealed that one of the two roles of the iso-Pt species in the Ni-Pt alloy is to provide H-2 dissociation sites at low temperature, resulting in high CO2 methanation activity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy clarified the second role of the iso-Pt species; tuning of the d-electronic state by alloying to surrounding Ni atoms leads to CO molecules that are strongly anchored to the iso-Pt atoms, which weakens the C-O bond of the CO species attached to the Pt atoms and improves the abilities of the surrounding Ni atoms to promote further methanation with hydrogen.
