The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by N_2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, CO-chemisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction（H_2-TPR）. The preformed Pt nanoparticles generated using ethanol as a reducing agent on M-DS presented enhanced Pt dispersion regardless of aging treatment as confirmed by XRD and CO-chemisorption measurements. The textural properties and reduction ability of M-DS were maintained to a large extent after aging treatment. This result was consistent with those of the N_2 adsorption-desorption and H_2-TPR, respectively. Meanwhile, the XPS analysis demonstrated that higher Pt^0 species and larger Ce^（3＋） concentration could be obtained for M-DS. In the conversion of a simulated compressed natural gas（CNG） vehicle exhaust, both fresh and aged M-DS showed a significant enhancement in the activity and N_2-selectivity. Particularly, the complete conversion temperature（T_（90）） of CH_4 over the aged M-DS catalyst was 65 oC lower than that over the aged catalyst by conventional double-solvent method.展开更多

If γ-Al_2O_3 is used as its support, cobalt ions can easily react with γ-Al_2O_3 at not very high temperature to form spinel CoAl_2O_4 or spinel-like, which decreases the activity of the combustion catalyst. In this paper, MgAl_2O_4 and CaAl_2O_4 were pre-coated on γ-Al_2O_3 by impregnation respectively, which formed compound support for LSC. It is shown that, when MgAl_2O_4 layer is covered on the surface of MgAl_2O_4 by impregnation, the entering of cobalt ions into γ-Al_2O_3 lattice is restrained, then LSC formed on the surface of MgAl_2O_4, which leads to a good catalytic activity of xylene complete oxidation. But the layer of MgAl_2O_4 should be thick enough to reach 30% (mass fraction) MgO in the support due to large size particle of MgAl_2O_4 crystalline. If polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is added into the impregnation solution adequately, MgAl_2O_4 particles formed on the surface of γ-Al_2O_3 are getting smaller, and less amount of MgAl_2O_4 is needed to cover up the surface of γ-Al_2O_3. If CaAl_2O_4 layer substituted for MgAl_2O_4, more closed cover is obtained in virtue of fine particles of CaAl_2O_4. The activity examination shows that smaller particles of MgAl_2O_4 or CaAl_2O_4 can be more effective to hinder cobalt ions entering the lattice of γ-Al_2O_3, and better activities will be obtained.展开更多
