Abstract
CeO2–ZrO2 (CZ) doped with different transition metals was prepared through a co-precipitation and supercritical drying method and the corresponding Pd-only TWCs were characterized. Pd/CZFe and Pd/CZCo exhibit the best catalytic activity and the widest operation window, in accordance with the decrease of the light-off and full-conversion temperature. However, Pd/CZCr restrains the catalytic property. It may be due to the different effect of transition metals on the property of CZ. The introduction of Fe and Co promotes the surface atom ratios of Ce/Zr, makes part of Ce4+ transferred into Ce3+ in order to maintain the electrical neutrality and seems to facilitate the reduction of Ce4+→Ce3+ or the formation of oxygen vacancies of CZ. The increasing concentration of oxygen vacancies for CZFe leads to the enhancement of DOSC. Moreover, the introduction of Fe favors the transfer of oxygen in different atmospheres.
