oxidation products (Fig. 1c and d), especially for glyceric acid.
Hence, the relatively stable product system was conducive to
the relative stability of the Pt–Bi catalyst structure in the last
few recycle runs, which in turn resulted in steady state of the
catalytic performance. In addition, the glycerol conversion and
major oxidation product selectivity along with the reaction
time over Bi1–Pt/NCNT and Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300) catalysts were
researched (Fig. 6b). The glycerol conversion increased faster
before 2 h for both Bi1–Pt/NCNTs and Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300)
although Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300) had better catalytic activity than
Bi1–Pt/NCNTs in the whole reaction time. For the product, DHA
selectivity decreased with the increase in reaction time, i.e.,
from 64.7% at 0.5 h to 44.7% at 6 h for the Bi1–Pt/NCNT catalyst
and from 69.0% at 0.5 h to 62.6% at 6 h for the Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300)
catalyst. The DHA selectivity decreased faster before 2 h, followed
by slight decrease because the selective filling of the step sites of Pt
NPs by Bi needed a certain time. Furthermore, the DHA selectivity
along with the reaction time of Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300) was much more
stable than that of Bi1–Pt/NCNTs, which was because the adsorbed
Bi could easily fill up the step sites of Pt NPs with bigger particle
sizes of Bi1–Pt/NCNTs(300).
