The water gas shift (WGS) reaction is a key process in the industrial hydrogen production and the development and application of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Metal oxide-supported highly dispersed Pt has been proved as an efficient catalyst for the WGS reaction. In this work, a series of supported 0.5Pt/xCe–10Ti (x = 1, 3, or 5) catalysts with different Ce/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a simple deposition–precipitation method. Compared with single TiO₂- or CeO₂-supported Pt catalysts, it was found that the 0.5Pt/3Ce–10Ti catalyst showed an obvious advantage in activity for the WGS reaction. In this catalyst, dispersed CeO₂ nanoparticles were supported on the TiO₂ sheets, and Pt single atoms and nanoparticles were located on CeO₂ and at the boundary of TiO₂ and CeO₂, respectively. It found that the reduction ability of the supported Pt catalyst was remarkably improved; meanwhile, the adsorption strength of CO on the surface of 0.5Pt/3Ce–10Ti was moderate. The heterostructured CeO₂–TiO₂ support gave an effective regulation on the Pt status and further influenced the CO adsorption ability, inducing excellent WGS reaction activity. This work provides a reference for the development and application of heterostructured materials in heterogeneous catalysis.
