Abstract

Tuning metal–support interactions (MSIs) is an important strategy in heterogeneous catalysis to realize the desirable metal dispersion and redox ability of metal catalysts. Herein, we use pre-reduced Co₃O₄ nanowires (Co-NWs) in situ grown on monolithic Ni foam substrates to support Ag catalysts (Ag/Co-NW-R) for soot combustion. The macroporous structure of Ni foam with crossed Co₃O₄ nanowires remarkably increases the soot–catalyst contact efficiency. Our characterization results demonstrate that Ag species exist as Ag⁰ because of the equation Ag⁺ + Co²⁺ = Ag⁰ + Co³⁺, and the pre-reduction treatment enhances interactions between Ag and Co₃O₄. The number of active oxygen species on the Ag-loaded catalysts is approximately twice that on the supports, demonstrating the significant role of Ag sites in generating active oxygen species. Additionally, the strengthened MSI on Ag/Co-NW-R further improves this number by increasing metal dispersion and the intrinsic activity determined by the turnover frequency of these oxygen species for soot oxidation compared with the catalyst without pre-reduction of Co-NW (Ag/Co-NW). In addition to high activity, Ag/Co-NW-R exhibits high catalytic stability and water resistance. The strategy used in this work might be applicable in related catalytic systems.
