Abstract
The CuO-CeO2@SiO2 catalyst with flower-sphere morphology was prepared by the impregnation method and then experienced the reduction-oxidation treatment at different temperatures. The multi-technique characterization shows that the reduction-oxidation treatment can remodel CuO, improve textural and surface properties and change Cu+ content and synergistic effect of copper and cerium. The importance of this work lies in the fact that the decrease of Cu+ content and synergistic effect of copper and cerium that occurs in the reduction-oxidation process results in the decrease of catalytic activity over the CuO-CeO2@SiO2 catalyst for preferential CO oxidation. The process of reaction in rich-hydrogen streams is equivalent to a reduction procedure which decreases Cu+ content and synergistic effect of copper and cerium.
