Abstract

Influence of preparation methods (i.e. co-precipitation, chelating, citric acid and critical phase) on the preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen over CuO-CeO 2 catalysts has been investigated. CuO-CeO 2 catalysts are characterized by using BET, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV Raman and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. The catalyst prepared by chelating is most active for the preferential oxidation of CO. In addition, XRD, UV Raman and TPR show that the chelating method enhances the formation of defects of ceria and produces a synergic effect between the cycle of Cu 1+/Cu 2+ and that of Ce 3+/Ce 4+, which is beneficial to the improvement of the performance of CuO-CeO 2 catalysts.
