This study systematically investigated the CO adsorption behavior and electron transfer mechanism on Ptn/γ-Al2O3 catalysts using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Combined with infrared vibrational spectroscopy (FT-IR), electron difference density (EDD) and charge decomposition analysis (CDA), the authors revealed how Pt cluster size regulated CO adsorption configuration, electron transfer, and C−O bond vibrational frequency. The results show that small Pt4 sub-nanometric clusters, due to their highly coordinated unsaturated Pt atoms, have strong d-electron feedback, resulting in full filling of CO’s π* antibonding orbitals, a significant weakening of the C−O bond, and a redshift in the IR frequency. Large Pt13 sub-nanometric clusters, due to their dense structure, experience electron delocalization, weaken feedback, enhance C−O bonding, and have a blueshift in the IR frequency. The electron transfer intensity increases in linear, bridge, and multi-terminal adsorption, respectively. Bridge adsorption is most sensitive to size, with an IR blueshift of 81 cm−1 observed when the number of Pt atoms increases from 4 to 13. Multi-terminal adsorption exhibits a stable frequency due to a “saturation effect”. This study establishes a comprehensive correlation among Pt size, electronic structure, adsorption properties, and infrared response, elucidating the CO adsorption mechanism on Pt-based catalysts and providing atomic-scale theoretical guidance for the design of efficient catalysts.
