Facilitating Catalytic Purification of Auto-Exhaust Carbon Particles via the Fe₂O₃{113} Facet-dependent Effect in Pt/Fe₂O₃ Catalysts

The purification efficiency of auto-exhaust carbon particles in the catalytic aftertreatment system of vehicle exhaust is strongly dependent on the interface nanostructure between the noble metal component and oxide supports. Herein, we have elaborately synthesized the catalysts (Pt/Fe2O3-R) of Pt nanoparticles decorated on the hexagonal bipyramid α-Fe2O3 nanocrystals with co-exposed twelve {113} and six {104} facets. The area ratios (R) of...
