Abstract
A series of Ce-doped LaMnO3 (La1-xCexMnO3) were prepared and were tested for gaseous toluene oxidation in order to investigate the effect of cerium doping in LaMnO3 on activity under photothermal conditions. It was found that the activity and CO2 yield of the catalyst can be effectively increased when x = 0.25. A group of characterization is used to characterize the morphology, composition, and physical properties of the as-prepared catalysts. Results show that the Ce-doped LaMnO3 can form coexistence of La1-xCexMnO3 and CeO2, the reaction of CeO2/La1-xCexMnO3 under photothermal conditions follows the Mars-van Krevelen redox cycle mechanism, and the prepared CeO2/La1-xCexMnO3 can form a highly efficient Z-scheme heterojunction, which can enhance the electrons transfer speed of the catalyst. Moreover, in the photothermal catalytic degradation, lattice oxygen is the most important active substance, a small amount of cerium doping can increase the lattice oxygen content of perovskite and increase the activity of the reaction.
