Abstract
MnOx–CeO2 mixed oxides were introduced into Pt/Al2O3 catalyst to reduce the amount of platinum and improve the catalytic activity for soot oxidation in presence of NOx. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO chemisorption, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), NO temperature-programmed oxidation (NO-TPO) and soot temperature-programmed oxidation (soot-TPO). Due to the superior redox property, the introduction of MnOx–CeO2 mixed oxides effectively enhanced the catalytic activities of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst for NO oxidation and hereby for soot oxidation in NO+O2. The Pt/MnOx–CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst also exhibited high activities after the thermal ageing and sulfur poisoning, which are related to the intrinsic characteristics of MnOx–CeO2/Al2O3 and Pt as well as their synergistic effects. The deactivation mechanisms of different catalysts (Pt/Al2O3,MnOx–CeO2/Al2O3 and Pt/MnOx–CeO2/Al2O3) were discussed.
