Catalytic combustion of methane is widely used in industrial and transportation activities. The commonly used Pd-based catalysts, however, are easily deactivated under hydrothermal conditions. In this work, we adopted a novel strategy to prepare a GaOx-doped Pd/Al2O3 catalyst via the oxidative transformation of intermetallic Pd5Ga3 nanocrystals supported on gamma-Al2O3. We observed a synergistic effect between palladium and gallium oxide via formation of a bi-functional active Pd-O-Ga phase, resulting in a highly active and exceptionally stable catalyst that could markedly suppress the sintering of noble metals under harsh conditions (hydrothermal treatment at 750 degrees C). Moreover, the presence of a large amount of surface oxygen vacancies and the surface Pd-O-Ga phase could promote methane combustion over the catalysts. It is believed that such a novel dual-metal catalyst is promising in practical applications for methane combustion.
