Abstract

Herein we show that Pt(111) and Pt(100) can produce the ketone through the oxidation of the secondary carbon of the polyols. After the Bi modification, the selectivity for the ketone formation increases. On the other hand, we observe that pure and Bi-modified Pt(110) only produced the C3 molecules oxidized in the primary carbon, and it is the only facet that shows an enhancement in the activity due to the modification. In line with these findings, small Pt nanoparticles are not selective for ketone formation. Finally, based on data obtained through DFT calculations, we suggest that positively charged Bi adatoms interact with the OH- groups of the enediol-like intermediate (believed to be the precursor for the ketone/aldehyde production), facilitating the oxidation of the secondary carbon to produce DHA.
