Highly ordered pore-through TiO₂ nanotube arrays (TiNT) were prepared by an electrochemical anodization method and used as the support for a Pt/TiNT catalyst. The Pt/TiNT was then applied to the trace HCHO oxidation. The effect of Pt/TiO₂ structural properties on its performance was studied with respect to the behavior of adsorbed species on the catalyst surface using in situ DRIFTS. In comparison with the commercial TiO₂ powders (P25 and anatase) supported Pt catalysts, Pt/TiNT shows higher activity under parallel preparation and test conditions. A HCHO conversion of 95% with a more than 100 h stable performance is achieved over Pt/TiNT at 30 °C with a low 0.4 wt % Pt loading amount. The superior performance is related to the specific monolith-like structure, confinement effect and metal–support interaction in Pt/TiNT. Finally, the reaction mechanism is presented based on the in situ DRIFTS study and XPS characterization to explain the performance difference among the Pt/TiO₂ samples with different morphologies.
