Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is the most efficient way to purify indoor air of HCHO pollutant. This work investigated rare earth La-doped Pt/TiO2 for low concentration HCHO oxidation at room temperature. La-doped Pt/TiO2 had a dramatically promoted catalytic performance for HCHO oxidation. The reasons for the La promotion effect were investigated by N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction, CO chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-angle annular dark field scanning TEM. The Pt nanoparticle size was reduced to 1.7 nm from 2.2 nm after modification by La, which led to higher Pt dispersion, more exposed active sites and enhanced metal-support interaction. Thus a superior activity for indoor low concentration HCHO oxidation was obtained. Moreover, the La-doped TiO2 can be wash-coated on a cordierite monolith so that very low amounts of Pt (0.01 wt%) can be used. The catalyst was evaluated in a simulated indoor HCHO elimination environment and displayed high purifying efficiency and stability. It can be potentially used as a commercial catalyst for indoor HCHO elimination.
