Abstract:

A series of Ce1-xTbxO2-δ mixed oxides were prepared by a sol-gel method. In situ Raman spectroscopy combined with X-ray diffraction(XRD), H2-temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR) and O2-temperature programmed desorption(O2-TPD) were used to analyze oxygen vacancies in the mixed oxides under different atmospheres(O2, He, and H2) with 514 and 785 nm excitation laser lines and the blue shift of the F2g vibration mode of CeO2. The results show that increasing Tb content in the sample result in the blue shift of F2g vibration mode of CeO2 because of dominant effect of the shrinking of the crystal. Furthermore, the difference in the changing trend of oxygen vacancies is due to the different Raman excitation laser lines. 514 nm excitation laser line can provide the surface information, while 785 nm excitation laser line can get the whole information of the sample. The A587/A465 ratio reflecting the oxygen vacancies shows an inflexion under He and H2 atmospheres could be explained by the change in microstructure of the sample along with the release of O2 during the heating process.
