Different Synthesis Protocols for Co3O4–CeO2 Catalysts—Part 1: Influence on the Morphology on the Nanoscale
نویسندگان
چکیده
Co3 O4 -modified CeO2 (Co/Ce 1:4) was prepared by a combination of sol-gel processing and solvothermal treatment. The distribution of Co was controlled by means of the synthesis protocol to yield three different morphologies, namely, Co3 O4 nanoparticles located on the surface of CeO2 particles, coexistent Co3 O4 and CeO2 nanoparticles, or Co oxide structures homogeneously distributed within CeO2 . The effect of the different morphologies on the properties of Co3 O4 -CeO2 was investigated with regard to the crystallite phase(s), particle size, surface area, and catalytic activity for CO oxidation. The material with Co3 O4 nanoparticles finely dispersed on the surface of CeO2 particles had the highest catalytic activity.

Synthesis of nano-sized ceria (CeO2) particles via a cerium hydroxy carbonate precursor and the effect of reaction temperature on particle morphology
Cerium oxide (CeO2) or ceria has been shown to be an interesting support material for noble metals in catalysts designed for emission control, mainly due to its oxygen storage capacity. Ceria nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method. The precursor materials used in this research were cerium nitrate hexahydrate (as a basic material), potassium carbonate and potassium hydroxide (as pre...

متن کاملFacile and green synthesis of mesoporous Co3O4 nanocubes and their applications for supercapacitors.
Nanostructured Co3O4 materials attracted significant attention due to their exceptional electrochemical (pseudo-capacitive) properties. However, rigorous preparation conditions are needed to control the size (especially nanosize), morphology and size distribution of the products obtained by conventional methods. Herein, we describe a novel one step shape-controlled synthesis of uniform Co3O4 na...
متن کاملShape and Crystal-Plane Effects of Nanoscale Ceria on the Activity of Au-CeO2 Catalysts for the Water-Gas Shift ReactionGrant support from the DOE/BES-Hydrogen Fuel Initiative program (DE-FG02-05ER15730) and the NSF-NIRT program (grant 0304515) is gratefully acknowledged
The water–gas shift (WGS) reaction (CO+H2OQCO2+H2) plays an important role in fuel processing for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel-cell applications. The hydrogen in the reformate gas is upgraded by removal of the carbon monoxide, which is a strong poison of the anode catalysts in current PEM fuel cells. Active shift catalysts that are also stable under the operating conditions of practi...
