Abstract
Abstract Co 3 O 4 nanochain and Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 heterostructures were prepared via an electrospinning process and subsequent calcination. The formation and shape evolution from Co 3 O 4 nanochains to Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 composite nanobelts were investigated, suggesting that both components and preparation parameters play important roles in resulted morphology and properties. Homogeneous Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 junctions in belt samples were formed towards enhanced catalysis performance. Well-dispersed Au nanoparticles were deposited on Co 3 O 4 /CeO 2 composite nanostructures or doped inside through reduction and direct calcination route method, respectively. The loading of Au nanoparticles significantly enhanced catalytic performance with onset CO conversion at 100 °C and resulted in CO conversion over at 127 °C.
