| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied microstructure and catalytic properties for leaching Al-base intermetallic compounds. It has been clear the microstructure after leaching is dominated by oxidation ability of the metals formed intermetallic compounds with Al. A lamellar Fe3O4/Pt/Fe3O4 prepared by leaching Al-Pt-Fe alloy exhibited significant catalytic activity and selectivity upon steam reforming of methanol (SRM). The Pt and Fe3O4 were primarily responsible for the catalysis of the decomposition of methanol and water gas shift reaction, respectively. These two reactions work together in a complementary way to facilitate the overall SRM reaction. We demonstrate that a composite structure is available to couple two separate reactions to obtain a new catalytic function. We developed Pt/Fe3O4 catalyst with high activity upon CO oxidation, prepared by leaching an Al-Fe-Pt alloy with a minute amount of Pt and a new process to synthesize a composite catalyst Cu/CeO2/Ag by oxidation of amorphous alloy.
