Abstract
The content of active lattice oxygen and oxygen vacancies is crucial for the catalytic oxidation of soot. Herein, we adjust the Pr-O bond strength in Pr6O11 by doping several common transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) to promote the formation of oxygen vacancies and the activation of lattice oxygen. This strategy does not compromise its crystal structure, allowing for improved catalytic performance while maintaining stability. The Mn-doped Pr6O11 catalyst shows the best soot catalytic oxidation performance. Its T50 (the temperature of soot conversion reaching 50 %) value is 396 °C under loose contact. Further characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that PMO possesses a large specific surface area. Additionally, the weakening the strength of the Pr-O bond leaded to an increase in oxygen vacancies, which in turn enhanced the redox ability of catalyst. This work will provide a reference for the development of Pr-based catalysts for soot combustion.
