Abstract: The effective surface concentration of Pd1 sites composed of individual palladium atoms isolated from each other by Ag atoms in the Pd1Ag10/Al2O3 single-atom alloy (SAA) catalyst can be significantly enhanced by the adsorption-induced surface segregation upon a special pretreatment of the catalyst in a CO-containing atmosphere at 200 °C. The catalyst activity towards acetylene hydrogenation gets tripled without sacrificing selectivity for ethylene. The segregated surface of the catalyst is thus preserved under target reaction conditions.

Keywords: single-atom alloy catalyst, adsorption-induced segregation, CO adsorption, selective acetylene hydrogenation, Pd, DRIFTS, XPS.
