Abstract

The effect of calcination temperature (350–650 °C) on the structure and catalytic activity of Co3O4–CeO2 mixed oxides prepared by sol–gel method was investigated by XRD, H2-TPR, O2-TPD and formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation. The Co3O4–CeO2 calcined at 450 °C (Co3O4–CeO2-450) exhibited the best performance, showing that the complete oxidation of HCHO was achieved at temperature as low as 80 °C. The results of characterizations revealed that the Co3O4–CeO2-450 had excellent catalytic activity due to the larger specific surface area, the best reducibility and more abundant surface active oxygen species.
