The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission elec- tron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, and temperature-programmed desorption of NH3. Their selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 was evaluated in the low-temperature range. The impact of the doping fraction of Ce4+ on the NO conversion was investigated. The results indicated that the La1-xCexMnO3 nanoparticles with a size of ca. 15 nm were uniformly immobilized on the surface of ATP with a loading amount of 20wt%. The highest conversion rate of NO reached 98.6% when the doping fraction x was O.1, while the ATP support supplied a high surface areas facilitating the nanoparticles dispersion as well as the gas adsorption. Incorporation of an appropriate amount of Ce4+ in the La3+ site resulted in a high degree of reduction by the active perovskite species with enhanced catalytic activity.展开更多

Fuel cells have become a central part in solving challenges associated with energy conversion. This review summarizes recent development of catalysts used for fuel cells over the past 15 years. It is focused on polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells as an environmentally benign and feasible energy source. Graphene is used as a promising support material for Pt catalysts. It ensures high catalyst loading, good electro- catalysis and stability. Attention has been drawn to structural sensitivity of the catalysts, as well as polymetallic and nanos- tructured catalysts in order to improve the oxygen reduction reaction. Characterization methods including electrochemical, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques are summarized with an overview of the latest technological advances in the field. Future perspective is given in a form of Pt-free catalysts, such as microbial fuel cells for long-term development.展开更多
