Abstract:

CuO/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by iodic acid improved sol-gel method, and the catalytic performances for the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen were evaluated. Compared with the conventional catalysts, the catalytic activities of iodic acid modified catalysts were markedly improved. The catalysts were characterized by a series of techniques such as temperature-programmed reduction in H2(H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscope(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis(XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). It was found that the improved method offered catalysts with smaller crystallite size, higher dispersion, more surface actual content of Ce3+ and reduced CuO species, which led to improving the performance of catalysts.

Key words: Sol-gel method, Iodic acid improved, CuO/CeO2 catalyst, Preferential oxidation of CO(CO-PROX), Catalytic performance
