The synergistic nature of bicomponent catalysts remains a challenging issue, due to the difficulty in constructing well-defined catalytic systems. Here we study the origin of synergistic effects in CoOx-Pt catalysts for selective hydrogenation by designing a series of closely contacted CoOxPt/TiO2and spatially separated CoOx/TiO2/Pt catalysts by atomic layer deposition (ALD). For CoOx/TiO2/Pt, CoOxand platinum are separated by the walls of titania nanotubes, and the CoOx-Pt intimacy can be precisely tuned. Like CoOxPt/TiO2, the CoOx/TiO2/Pt shows higher selectivity to cinnamyl alcohol than monometallic TiO2/Pt, indicating that the CoOx-Pt nanoscale intimacy almost has no influence on the selectivity. The enhanced selectivity is ascribed to the increased oxygen vacancy resulting from the promoted hydrogen spillover. Moreover, platinum-oxygen vacancy interfacial sites are identified as the active sites by selectively covering CoOxor platinum by ALD. Our study provides a guide for the understanding of synergistic nature in bicomponent and bifunctional catalysts.
