The catalytic properties and characterization of CeO2, CuO/CeO2 and Cu/CeO2 catalysts were examined by means of a microreactor-GC system, HRTEM, XRD, TPR and XPS techniques. The results show that CuO has not catalytic activity and the activity of CeO2 is quite low for CO oxidation. However, the catalytic activity of CuO/CeO2 and Cu/ CeO2 catalysts increases significantly. Furthermore, the activity of CuO/CeO2 is higher than that of Cu/CeO2 catalysts.展开更多

By changing the ^nCTAB/^nCe ratio and hydrothermal aging time, the catalytic activity of the CuO-CeO2 catalysts increased and the operating temperature window, in which the CO conversion was higher than 99%, was widened. XRD results showed no peaks of CuOx species and Cu-Ce-O solid solution were observed. On the other hand, Cu＋ species in the CuO-CeO2 catalysts, which was associated with a strong interaction between copper oxide clusters and cerium oxide and could be favorable for improving the selective oxidation performance of CO in excess H2, were detected by H2-TPR and XPS techniques.展开更多

Furthermore, the prepared CeO2 was used as the support to prepare CuO/CeO2 catalysts via the wet impregnation method. The samples were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, and temperatureprogrammed reduction by H2 （H2-TPR）. The catalytic properties of the CuO/CeO2 catalysts for lowtemperature CO oxidation were studied using a microreactor-GC system. The crystal size of CeO2-A was much smaller than that of CeO2-B, and the corresponding copper oxide catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activity than that of the CeO2-B-supported catalysts under the same reaction conditions. The alcohothermal mechanism indicated that KOH plays a key role in determining the physicochemical and catalytic properties of ceria-based materials.展开更多

A single-step co-precipitation method was used for preparation of a series of yttrium doped CuO/CeO2 catalysts with yttrium content in the range of 0-5wt.%. Properties of the obtained samples were characterized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, H2-TPR, cyclic voltammetry （CV） and the BET method. The results revealed that catalytic activity was increased with the yttrium content at first, but then decreased with the further increase of yttrium content. Herein, CuO/CeO2 catalyst doped with 2wt.% of yttrium showed the highest catalytic activity （CO conversion reaches 93.4% at 250 ℃） and thermal stability for WGS reaction. The catalytic activity was correlated with the surface area, the area of peak γ of H2-TPR profile （i.e., the reduction of surface copper oxide （crystalline forms） interacted with surface oxygen vacancies on ceria）, and the area of peak C2 and A1 （Cu^0→←Cu^2＋ in cyclic voltammetry process）, respectively. Besides, Raman spectra provided evidences for a synergistic Cu-Ovacancy interaction, and it was indicated that doping yttrium may facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies on ceria.展开更多

The structural, morphological features and catalytic activity were observed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and GC-TCD (Varian CP-4900). The catalytic performance of noble metals (Pt, Rh, Pd) supported on Cu-Ce mixed oxides with γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate was be compared with noble metals (Pt, Rh, Pd) supported on Ce-Zr mixed oxides with γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate and only γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate at various stoichiometric ratio of oxygen. The results showed that the addition of Cu-Ce mixed oxides improved CO oxidation reaction at lower temperature during stable lambda of 1, the highest CO conversion of 99% is observed for the noble metals (Pt, Pd, Rh) support on Cu-Ce with γ-Al2O3 washcoat/FeCrAl substrate. The results also showed that, the addition of Cu-Ce mixed oxides promoted released oxygen, thus it improved strongly CO and C3H8 conversion at lean oxygen stoichiometric operation.展开更多
