Easy synthesis of three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous CuO–CeO2 mixed oxide catalysts and their high activities for the catalytic combustion of soot

Three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Cu_xCe‐M (x denote the mole ratio of Cu/[Ce + Cu]) oxide catalysts with large pore sizes and interconnected macroporous frameworks were successfully synthesized using a polymethyl methacrylate template method. The 3DOM structure improves the contact efficiency between catalyst and soot, which benefits soot elimination in the low temperature range. The low redox barriers of the 3DOM Cu–Ce solid solution also facilitate the elimination of the soot. The 3DOM Cu_0.1Ce catalysts exhibit the highest catalytic activity with maximum soot oxidation rate temperatures at 375 and 351 °C in the air and NO _x atmosphere, respectively. The NO _x‐TPD results demonstrate that the NO₂ produced in the Ce_0.1Cu‐M sample plays a curial role in improving the soot oxidation performance. Meanwhile, the NO‐DRIFTs reveal that the nitrates stored in the Cu_0.1Ce‐M sample also had a promotional effect on the soot elimination.     

三维有序大孔SnO2基固溶体用于有效燃烧碳烟颗粒

柴油车尾气排放的碳烟颗粒对人类的生存环境和身体健康带来了严重危害.催化燃烧是消除碳烟颗粒污染的有效途径.碳烟颗粒催化燃烧是固-固-气相反应,因此催化剂本身具有活泼的氧中心且其能与碳烟颗粒有效接触是提高反应效率的关键因素.为改善碳烟颗粒与催化剂的接触,设计制备三维有序大孔(3DOM)催化剂,使碳烟颗粒可以进入催化剂孔道内部,增加其与催化剂的有效接触,是提高反应活性的有效途径.此外,在催化剂晶格中掺杂其它金属离子形成固溶体结构,可提高其氧化还原性能,也可有效提高其碳烟燃烧活性.SnO2富含活泼的表面缺位氧和可还原的晶格氧,且其熔点高达1630 oC,具有良好的热稳定性,被广泛用于制备气体传感、电化学和催化等材料.在过去的6年中,本课题组在SnO2催化化学领域做了大量系统的工作,将SnO2基催化材料用于多种环保和能源反应.发现通过其它阳离子Fe3+,Cr3+,Ta5+,Ce4+和Nb5+等的掺杂,替换晶格中部分Sn4+形成金红石型SnO2固溶体结构,可显著提高催化剂氧物种的流动性、活性和本身的热稳定性.本文采用胶体晶体模板法制备出了Ce4+,Mn3+和Cu2+离子掺杂的SnO2三维有序大孔固溶体催化剂用于松散接触条件下的碳烟催化燃烧.采用SEM,TEM,XRD,STEM-mapping,O2-TPD和XPS等手段对催化剂进行表征,研究其碳烟催化燃烧性能.SEM和TEM结果表明已成功合成三维有序大孔结构样品.XRD,Raman和STEM-mapping结果表明,Ce4+,Mn3+和Cu2+离子均进入四方金红石型SnO2晶格形成固溶体结构.另外,Raman,H2-TPR,XPS和O2-TPD等结果发现上述离子掺杂三维大孔SnO2后,催化剂表面形成了更活泼、丰富的氧物种,有利于碳烟颗粒燃烧.其中3DOM-Cu1Sn9催化剂具有最丰富的活泼氧中心,因此表现出最高的活性.     

Controllable construction of Ce-Mn-Ox with tunable oxygen vacancies and active species for toluene catalytic combustion

A series of Ce-Mn-O_x catalysts synthesized under different hydrothermal conditions were evaluated by catalytic removal of toluene. The results of characterization showed that the contents of oxygen vacancies and active species in catalysts were crucial for the catalytic oxidation process. The concentration of Ce³⁺, Mn³⁺, and adsorbed oxygen associated with structural defects in Ce-Mn-O_x catalysts could be controlled by hydrothermal conditions, which were considered to promote redox capacity and improve catalytic oxidation performance. In addition, suitable synthetic conditions could increase the S_BET and V_p of catalysts. Among the prepared catalysts, CM-100 showed the best catalytic performance due to the generation of more defective oxygen and active species (Ce³⁺, Mn³⁺, and surface-adsorbed oxygen). In addition, the CM-100 catalyst showed satisfactory water resistance and stability.     

非晶态ZrO_2镶嵌的超细CeO_2催化HCl氧化

采用不同方法制备了铈锆复合氧化物催化剂用于催化HCl氧化反应。自发沉积策略制备的CeO_2@ZrO_2催化剂中,超细CeO_2纳米粒子均匀的镶嵌于非晶态ZrO_2中。CeO_2粒子显著的"尺寸效应"使得该催化剂具有更高的Ce~(3+)和氧空位浓度,而较高的Ce~(3+)和氧空位浓度使得催化剂具有优异的低温氧化还原性能和储释氧能力。催化性能测试表明,CeO_2@ZrO_2催化剂展现出最好的催化活性(1.90 gCl2·gcat~(-1)·h~(-1)),同时CeO_2粒子周围非晶态的ZrO_2阻碍CeO_2的高温烧结,提高了该催化剂的稳定性。     

非晶态ZrO2镶嵌的超细CeO2催化HCl氧化

采用不同方法制备了铈锆复合氧化物催化剂用于催化HCl氧化反应。自发沉积策略制备的CeO₂@ZrO₂催化剂中,超细CeO₂纳米粒子均匀的镶嵌于非晶态ZrO₂中。CeO₂粒子显著的“尺寸效应”使得该催化剂具有更高的Ce³⁺和氧空位浓度,而较高的Ce³⁺和氧空位浓度使得催化剂具有优异的低温氧化还原性能和储释氧能力。催化性能测试表明,CeO₂@ZrO₂催化剂展现出最好的催化活性（1.90 g_Cl2·g_cat^-1·h^-1）,同时CeO₂粒子周围非晶态的ZrO₂阻碍CeO₂的高温烧结,提高了该催化剂的稳定性。     

Low-temperature catalytic oxidation of toluene over Mn–Co–O/Ce<Subscript>0.65</Subscript>Zr<Subscript>0.35</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> mixed oxide catalysts

Ce_0.65Zr_0.35O₂ was prepared by co-precipitation method and a series of Mn_1-yCo_y/Ce_0.65Zr_0.35O₂ catalysts with different Mn/Co molar ratio were synthesized via the co-impregnation method. These catalysts were applied for gaseous toluene oxidation, which showed that the catalytic activity was significantly improved by the addition of Mn and Co. In particular, Mn–Co(1:1)/Ce_0.65Zr_0.35O₂ with Mn/Co molar ratio of 1:1 displayed the best result with the lowest complete conversion temperature of 242 °C under a GHSV of 12,000 h^?1. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, H₂ temperature-programmed reduction, N₂ adsorption–desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and O₂ temperature-programmed desorption. These characteristics revealed that the coexistence of Mn and Co could enhance the redox property and generate more surface adsorbed oxygen, thereby improving the performance of the catalysts for toluene low-temperature oxidation. The Mn–Co(1:1)/Ce_0.65Zr_0.35O₂ exhibited the best catalytic activity and high stability. The excellent catalytic activity of the Mn–Co(1:1)/Ce_0.65Zr_0.35O₂ could be ascribed to a greater amount of surface adsorbed oxygen species and Mn⁴⁺ on the catalyst surface.     

Comparative study of Co/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, Co–Mn/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and Co–Mn/Ti–Ce catalysts for oxidation of elemental mercury in flue gas

The Co–Mn/Ti–Ce catalyst prepared by sol–gel and impregnation method was evaluated for catalytic oxidation of Hg⁰ in the simulated flue gas compared with Co/TiO₂ and Co–Mn/TiO₂. The results showed that Co–Mn/Ti–Ce catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity (around 93% Hg⁰ removal efficiency in the temperature of 150 °C with 6% O₂, 400 ppm NO, 200 ppm SO₂ and 3% H₂O) than Co/TiO₂ and Co–Mn/TiO₂. Based on the characterization results of N₂ adsorption–desorption, XRD, UV–Vis, XPS, H₂-TPR and Hg-TPD, it could be concluded that the lower band gap, better reducibility and mercury adsorption capability and the presence of Co³⁺/Co²⁺, Mn⁴⁺/Mn³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺ redox couples as well as surface oxygen species contributed to the excellent Hg⁰ oxidation removal performance. In addition, well dispersion of active components and a synergetic effect among Co, Mn and Ce species might improve the activity further. A Mars–Maessen mechanism is thought to be involved in the Hg⁰ oxidation. The lattice oxygen derived from MnO _x or CoO _x would react with adsorbed Hg⁰ to form HgO and the consumption of lattice oxygen could be replenished by O₂. For Co–Mn/Ti–Ce, MnO _x?1 could be alternatively reoxidized by the lattice oxygen derived from adjacent CoO _x and CeO _x which is beneficial to the Hg⁰ oxidation.     

Effect of A-site element on the performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous manganese-based perovskite catalyst

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous manganese-based perovskite catalyst (3DOM AMnO₃, A = Ce, La, Ni) were synthesized by PMMA hard-templating and impregnation method. Physicochemical properties of the samples were characterized by means of various techniques including XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, XPS and H₂-TPR, and their catalytic activities were evaluated by toluene combustion. It was found that the 3DOM AMnO₃ in each of the samples was perovskite in crystal structure, and only the samples possessed a good quality 3DOM architecture with a surface area of 48.8 m²/g. Due to the highest adsorbed oxygen species concentration (O_ads/O_latt = 2.330), the best low-temperature reducibility (The low-temperature reduction peaks of 3DOM CeMnO₃ catalysts occur at 425 °C) and the strong interaction between CeO₂ and MnO_x formed during calcination. The 3DOM CeMnO₃ sample showed lower apparent activation energy (34.51 kJ·mol⁻¹, SV = 15,000 h⁻¹) and the best catalytic activity for toluene combustion, with the reaction temperatures (T50%, and T90%) required for achieving toluene conversions of 50%, and 90% being 100 °C, 172 °C at SV = 15,000 h⁻¹, respectively.     

Three-dimensionally ordered macro-porous Pt/TiO2 catalyst used for water-gas shift reaction

Three-dimensionally ordered macro-porous （3DOM） Pt/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by template and impregnation methods, and the resultant samples were characterized by using TG-DTA, XRD, SEM, TEM, and TPR techniques. The catalytic performance for water-gas shift （WGS） reaction was tested, and the influences of some conditions, such as reduction temperature of catalysts, the amount of Pt loadings and space velocity on catalytic performance were investigated. It was shown that Pt particles were homogeneously dispersed on 3DOM TiO2. The reduction of TiO2 surface was important for the catalytic performance. The activity test results showed that the 3DOM Pt/TiO2 catalysts exhibited very good catalytic performance for WGS reaction even at high space velocity, which was owing to the better mass transfer of 3DOM porous structure besides the high intrinsic activity of Pt/TiO2.     

A study on simultaneous catalytic ozonation of Hg<Superscript>0</Superscript> and NO using Mn–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> catalyst at low flue gas temperatures

Mn–TiO₂ catalysts were utilized as an ozonation catalyst for the first time to study the simultaneous catalytic ozonation of Hg⁰ and NO at low flue gas temperatures. BET, SEM–EDS, XRD, XPS, H₂-TPR, NO _x -TPD and Hg⁰-TPD were used to characterize the catalysts. The Mn–TiO₂ catalyst, in which the molar content of metal Mn was 60%, exhibited the best catalytic activities of Hg⁰ and NO oxidation, compared with other Mn–TiO₂ catalysts. It was found that within the range of experiment, the catalytic ozonation efficiency of Hg⁰ and NO was higher than that of ozonation or catalytic oxidation. The results also showed that the presence of NO gas inhibited the catalytic ozonation of elemental mercury, and the inhibition was enhanced with the NO inlet concentration, while few elemental mercury molecules did promote the catalytic ozonation of NO. The addition of H₂O vapor promoted the catalytic ozonation of Hg⁰ and NO. In addition, 0.6Mn–TiO₂ catalyst demonstrated a good TOS and cyclic stability. The catalytic ozonation of NO and Hg⁰ on Mn–TiO₂ catalyst likely followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism, where the hydroxyl radicals reacted with adjacently adsorbed NO molecules and elemental mercury on catalyst surface.     

银离子修饰的介孔磷钨酸/二氧化硅催化剂氧化脱硫性能研究

采用银修饰介孔磷钨酸/二氧化硅（mesoporous HPW/SiO₂）催化剂,并研究了其在模拟柴油和真实柴油氧化脱硫反应中的催化性能。通过银修饰介孔HPW/SiO₂,结合银离子对有机硫化物的选择吸附性和HPW对有机硫化物的催化氧化活性,以达到选择氧化脱硫的目的。模拟柴油分别采用石油醚、苯、1-辛烯和二苯并噻吩配制,当银离子与HPW的摩尔比为2时,催化剂具有最高的选择催化氧化活性。采用N₂ 吸附-脱附、XRD、UV-vis和EDS表征了银修饰的介孔HPW/SiO₂催化剂,结果表明,银物种分散均匀且以Ag⁺形式存在。真实柴油的脱硫研究表明,相比介孔HPW/SiO₂催化剂,修饰的催化剂介孔Ag₂-HPW/SiO₂脱硫率提高了4.6%,初始硫含量为1800×10^-6的直馏柴油能被脱除至228×10^-6,脱硫率为87.3%。介孔Ag₂-HPW/SiO₂催化剂具有良好的再生性能,经再生处理后,Ag的损失量极少,其三次脱硫率达到84.8%。     

CeO2纳米层对多层载体x-CeO2/3DOM Al2O3负载纳米Au催化剂催化柴油炭烟燃烧活性的影响

与汽油车相比,柴油车具有CO2排放低、寿命长和经济性好等优点,所以近年来受到广泛关注并被大量使用.但是,柴油车在使用过程中会产生大量炭烟颗粒物(PM),对大气环境和人类健康造成很大威胁.因此,开展这方面的基础研究具有重要的科学意义及环境保护意义.催化柴油炭烟燃烧反应是一个气-固-固多相深度氧化反应,由于PM的粒径远大于传统催化剂,导致PM不能进入催化剂孔道内部,造成催化剂活性比表面积利用率较低.设计并制备大孔径的三维有序大孔结构(3DOM)的催化剂,能够减小反应扩散阻力,增加催化剂与炭烟颗粒物的有效接触,加快反应进行.另外,可以通过在3DOM氧化物表面担载其它活性组分,提高催化剂的氧化还原性能,进而提高其活性.CeO2有很好的储放氧性能,在柴油车尾气净化催化剂中较为常见,但是单一的CeO2热稳定性较差,高温下容易烧结,使得比表面积减小,并且失去储氧能力,造成催化剂失活.文献中较常见的解决办法是在CeO2中掺杂其它阳离子,如Zr4+,Pr3+,Al3+,La3+及Y3+等离子,以提高CeO2的抗高温烧结能力.此外,研究报道的催化剂对催化柴油炭烟颗粒物燃烧的峰值温度已经远低于炭烟颗粒物的自燃温度,但是对颗粒物的起燃温度仍普遍较高.我们前期研究结果表明,担载纳米Au颗粒催化剂能够显著降低炭烟燃烧的起燃温度.本文采用胶体晶体模板法制备了3DOM Al2O3载体,利用微孔膜-氨沉淀法担载不同量的活性组分CeO2,制备出一种负载型x-CeO2/3DOM Al2O3催化剂,它既可减少稀土元素用量,降低成本,又因为Al2O3的机械强度较高,还能保证催化剂的机械强度足够好.为了进一步降低催化剂催化炭烟燃烧的起燃温度,利用还原沉积法在多层载体x-CeO2/3DOM Al2O3上负载纳米Au催化剂,制备出不同厚度的CeO2纳米层负载Au催化剂(Au/x-CeO2/3DOM Al2O3).利用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、透射电镜、H2程序升温还原和O2程序升温脱附等方法研究了催化剂的结构及物化性质与催化剂活性之间的关系,提出了消除PM反应的可能机理.结果表明,Al3+离子能够部分进入到CeO2中,形成Al-Ce固溶体.由于Al离子半径小于Ce离子,Al3+掺杂后能引起CeO2晶格发生畸变,产生大量缺陷,形成大量氧空位,促进晶格氧的移动,从而使催化剂具有更大的储放氧能力.在Au/x-CeO2/3DOM Al2O3催化剂中,CeO2担载量过高时,氧化铈纳米层较厚,活性组分容易烧结,不利于催化剂活性提高;而CeO2担载量过低,则CeO2纳米层较稀薄,催化剂的氧化还原性能受限,催化剂活性也不高.因此,CeO2的担载量应适当.此外,Au和CeO2之间的强相互作用能够增加Au纳米颗粒表面活性氧物种的数量,从而促进柴油炭烟燃烧反应.活性测试结果表明,担载纳米Au颗粒后,催化剂催化柴油炭烟燃烧的起燃温度均明显降低,在所制备的系列催化剂中Au/20％CeO2/3DOM Al2O3催化剂展示了最高的催化活性,T10,T50和T90分别为267,372和426 oC.     

TiO2负载Mn-Co复合氧化物催化剂上NO催化氧化性能

氮氧化物(NO_x)是大气主要污染物之一, 主要来源于化石燃料的燃烧, 其中NO不溶于水难以去除, 催化氧化技术可以将NO氧化为易溶于水可被脱硫装置去除的NO₂, 具有十分重要的实际意义. 本文采用浸渍法制备了不同Mn掺杂量的Mn-Co/TiO₂复合金属氧化物催化剂, 考察了其催化NO氧化的活性. 结果表明, Mn的掺杂对Co/TiO₂催化剂催化NO氧化的活性有明显促进作用, 掺杂量为6%时, Mn(0.3)-Co(0.7)/TiO₂催化剂NO的转化效率最高, 300℃达到88%. 采用X射线衍射(XRD)、N₂吸附/脱附、H₂程序升温还原(H₂-TPR)、O₂程序升温脱附(O₂-TPD)和原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外(in-situ DRFTIR)光谱等技术对催化剂的物理化学特征进行了表征. 结果发现, 当掺杂量为6%时, Mn一方面促进了催化剂表面活性组分的分散, 增加了催化剂的比表面积和孔径; 另一方面提高了催化剂的还原性能, 促进氧的低温脱附, 此外还促进了反应中间产物桥式NO-3向NO₂的反应, 从而提高了Co/TiO₂催化剂的NO氧化活性.     

Selective photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes in water by TiO2 partially coated with WO3

Semiconductor TiO₂ particles loaded with WO₃ (WO₃/TiO₂), synthesized by impregnation of tungstic acid followed by calcination, were used for photocatalytic oxidation of alcohols in water with molecular oxygen under irradiation at λ>350 nm. The WO₃/TiO₂ catalysts promote selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and show higher catalytic activity than pure TiO₂. In particular, a catalyst loading 7.6 wt % WO₃ led to higher aldehyde selectivity than previously reported photocatalytic systems. The high aldehyde selectivity arises because subsequent photocatalytic decomposition of the formed aldehyde is suppressed on the catalyst. The TiO₂ surface of the catalyst, which is active for oxidation, is partially coated by the WO₃ layer, which leads to a decrease in the amount of formed aldehyde adsorbed on the TiO₂ surface. This suppresses subsequent decomposition of the aldehyde on the TiO₂ surface and results in high aldehyde selectivity. The WO₃/TiO₂ catalyst can selectively oxidize various aromatic alcohols and is reusable without loss of catalytic activity or selectivity.     

Effect of TiO2 Calcination Pretreatment on the Performance of Pt/TiO2 Catalyst for CO Oxidation

In order to improve the CO catalytic oxidation performance of a Pt/TiO₂ catalyst, a series of Pt/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared via an impregnation method in this study, and various characterization methods were used to explore the effect of TiO₂ calcination pretreatment on the CO catalytic oxidation performance of the catalysts. The results revealed that Pt/TiO₂ (700 °C) prepared by TiO₂ after calcination pretreatment at 700 °C exhibits a superior CO oxidation activity at low temperatures. After calcination pretreatment, the catalyst exhibited a suitable specific surface area and pore structure, which is beneficial to the diffusion of reactants and reaction products. At the same time, the proportion of adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst surface was increased, which promoted the oxidation of CO. After calcination pretreatment, the adsorption capacity of the catalyst for CO and CO₂ decreased, which was beneficial for the simultaneous inhibition of the CO self-poisoning of Pt sites. In addition, the Pt species exhibited a higher degree of dispersion and a smaller particle size, thereby increasing the CO oxidation activity of the Pt/TiO₂ (700 °C) catalyst.     

Ho改性的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的评价和表征

作为引起酸雨、光化学烟雾、雾霾等大气污染问题的主要根源,氮氧化物(NOx)的防治已成为亟待解决的问题.选择性催化还原技术作为最成熟有效的脱硝技术,目前已经被广泛应用于各燃煤电厂.低温脱硝催化剂具有优秀的低温活性,使得脱硝装置可以安放在脱硫装置和除尘装置下游,受到了学者广泛的研究.目前低温脱硝催化剂的研究主要是对催化剂进行改性以提高催化剂的性能,已有许多研究报道了Sn、Ni、Co、Zr、Cr、Ni等对催化剂的改性影响.Ho作为一种改性元素被应用于光催化领域,能提高TiO2的光催化能力.但Ho应用于脱硝领域的研究鲜有报道,其氧化物具有酸性位点有助于脱硝反应,因此研究Ho对低温SCR催化剂的改性作用具有重要意义.本文采用浸渍法制备Ho掺杂的Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂,研究了Ho的掺杂对于Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂低温脱硝性能的影响,同时还研究了烟气中的SO2和H2O对催化剂活性的影响,并利用XPS、XRD、H2-TPR、NH3-TPD等表征方法从物理性质和化学性质两方面对Ho改性的影响机理进行了研究.研究发现,Ho的掺杂能提高Mn-Ce/TiO2催化剂的脱硝能力,有助于催化剂N2选择性的提高.分析表明,Ho的掺杂有助于催化剂比表面积的提升,且能提高催化剂的酸性,有利于催化剂对NH3的吸附,从而提高催化剂的性能.XPS表征结果表明Ho掺杂后的催化剂具有更高的化学吸附氧浓度和较高的Mn4+/Mn3+比例, 使得脱硝反应更容易进行.改性后催化剂的抗水抗硫实验结果表明,Ho的掺杂能够提高催化剂的抗水抗硫性能.XRD结果表明,抗水抗硫实验后催化剂表面形成了硫酸铵盐,硫酸铵盐的形成会堵塞催化剂表面的活性位,限制脱硝反应的进行,从而影响催化剂的脱硝活性.同时,400°C下进行再生实验后的催化剂活性有所恢复,但是未能达到抗水抗硫实验前的活性,表明在抗水抗硫实验中催化剂表面形成了除硫酸铵盐以外的其他硫酸盐类.结合XPS和XRD表征结果,推断生成的盐类物质为硫酸锰和硫酸铈,从而导致再生后的催化剂的脱硝活性无法恢复到最初的活性水平.由此可以看出,硫酸盐的形成是催化剂在含硫气氛中失活的主要原因.     

Promotional effect of cobalt addition on catalytic performance of Ce<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>Zr<Subscript>0.5</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> mixed oxide for diesel soot combustion

A series of Co-modified Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ catalysts with different concentrations of Co (mass %: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was investigated for diesel soot combustion. Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ was prepared using the coprecipitation method and Co was loaded onto the oxide using the incipient wetness impregnation method. The activities of the catalysts were evaluated by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and temperature-programmed oxidation (TPO) experiments. The results showed the soot combustion activities of the catalysts to be effectively improved by the addition of Co, 6 % Co/Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ and that the 8 % Co/Ce_0.5Zr_0.5O₂ catalysts exhibited the best catalytic performance in terms of lower soot ignition temperature (T_i at 349°C) and maximal soot oxidation rate temperature (T_m at 358°C). The reasons for the improved activity were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), H₂ temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results revealed that the presence of Co could lower the reduction temperature due to the synergistic effect between Co and Ce, thereby improving the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. The 6 % Co catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the greater amounts of Co³⁺ and surface oxygen species on the catalyst.     

Effect of the microstructure of the supported catalysts CuO/TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and CuO/(CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>) on their catalytic properties in carbon monoxide oxidation

The effect of the microstructure of titanium dioxide on the structure, thermal stability, and catalytic properties of supported CuO/TiO₂ and CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts in CO oxidation was studied. The formation of a nanocrystalline structure was found in the CuO/TiO₂ catalysts calcined at 500°C. This nanocrystalline structure consisted of aggregated fine anatase particles about 10 nm in size and interblock boundaries between them, in which Cu²⁺ ions were stabilized. Heat treatment of this catalyst at 700°C led to a change in its microstructure with the formation of fine CuO particles 2.5–3 nm in size, which were strongly bound to the surface of TiO₂ (anatase) with a regular well-ordered crystal structure. In the CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts, the nanocrystalline structure of anatase was thermally more stable than in the CuO/TiO₂ catalyst, and it persisted up to 700°C. The study of the catalytic properties of the resulting catalysts showed that the CuO/(CeO₂-TiO₂) catalysts with the nanocrystalline structure of anatase were characterized by the high-est activity in CO oxidation to CO₂.

A series of the catalytic activity of the above surface catalysts was established. The relationship between the catalytic properties of the oxides in the oxidation of acetone and their redox and acid-base characteristics was analyzed. The catalytic activity of the oxides in the oxidation reaction of acetone and methanol were compared.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 114–117, January–February, 1988.
