A variety of characterization results revealed that this preparation process afforded highly crystalline octahedral Fe3O4 with a uniform distribution of Pt nanoparticles on its surface. The thermal-treatment temperature significantly influenced the redox properties of the Pt/Fe3O4 catalysts. All the Pt/Fe3O4 catalysts were found to be catalytically active and stable for the oxidation of low-concentration formaldehyde（HCHO） with oxygen. The catalyst prepared by thermal treatment at 80 °C（labelled Pt/Fe3O4-80） exhibited the highest catalytic activity, efficiently converting HCHO to CO2 and H2 O under ambient temperature and moisture conditions. The excellent performance of Pt/Fe3O4-80 was mainly attributed to beneficial interactions between the Pt and Fe species that result in the formation a higher density of active interface sites（e.g., Pt-O-FeO x and Pt-OH-FeO x）. The introduction of water vapor improves the catalytic activity of the Pt/Fe3O4 catalysts as it participates in a water-assisted dissociation process.展开更多

The properties and microstructure of the cordierite sintered samples were characterized by Archimedes＇ method, thermal dilatometry, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and so on. The experimental results showed that calcined bauxite could broaden the range of synthesizing temperature from 1300 ℃ to 1420 ℃ and get pure cordierite. The bulk density and linear thermal expansion coefficient of the sample synthesized at 1420 ℃ for 2 h were 1.97 g·cm^-3 and 2.1×10^-6 ℃^-1, respectively. The XRD analysis showed that the major crystalline phase was a-cordierite with almost no glassy matters, the SEM images illustrated a small vent hole and the size were 5 -100 μm, the well-grown hexagonal and granular cordierite grains had the sizes distributed among 0.1-8 ;xm, and providing high mechanical strength and lower linear thermal expansion coefficient.展开更多
