Abstract
Two Mn0.15Ce0.85O2−δ mixed oxides were synthesized by a co-precipitation method using Mn(NO3)2 and KMnO4 as the manganese precursors, respectively. Structural analyses by X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy reveal the formation of MnOx-CeO2 solid solutions. The Mn0.15Ce0.85O2−δ catalyst prepared from the high-valent manganese precursor exhibits higher activity for the catalytic oxidation of NO. The advantage of KMnO4 is related to the improved redox property of the catalyst as supported by H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and O2 temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The Mn-Ce interactions create more Mn4+, Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies on the KMnO4-synthesized mixed oxides based on the Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS).
