Abstract:

The unique properties make CeO2 play important roles in many catalytic reactions. However, CeO2 alone as a catalyst is fairly unfavorable due to its low catalytic activity and poor stability for high-temperature reactions. Therefore, in this work, we constructed the composite of CeO2 and transition metal oxides for the purpose of increasing the stability and improving the catalytic performance of CeO2. We synthesized the Mn/CuO-CeO2 composite nanomaterials with different components and three-dimensional flower-like structures via solvent thermal method. The XRD patterns confirmed that the synthesis formed solid solutions affording the single phase of fluorite-type CeO2. And the SEM images showed the composites have flower-like structures which were assembled by numerous nanocrystals and the structural unit of each nanocrystal was nanoparticles with a size of about 10 nm. The catalytic activity of the catalyst increases successively in the order of CeO2<CuO-CeO2<xMn/CuO-CeO2 mainly associated with the strong interaction between constituents owing to the highly dispersed copper and manganese species. And with the increase of Mn doping, the catalytic activity of the composite increases first and then decreases. When nCenCunMn=25∶5∶2, the catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance: the complete transformation of CO can be achieved at 173 ℃ in CO oxidation test, and it showed good stability.
