Abstract
A series of bimetallic Pd-Pt (mole ratio Pd:Pt=4:1) catalysts supported on ultrastable Y (USY) zeolites and delaminated USY zeolites were prepared and characterized by XRD, 27Al MAS NMR and CO adsorption. The extraframework aluminum (EFAL) contributed to the increases in acidity of USY zeolites and in sulfur tolerance of Pd-Pt particles.
