Abstract
Abstract XPS shows that the surface chemical state of Pd in Pd/ZrPrOx is mainly Pd4 +, which is likely doped in ZrPrOx. However, the Pd4 + is segregated out as PdO when Pd/ZrPrOx is exposed at 1000 °C in air, resulting in the particle growth of Pd and deterioration. It has been found that the mixing Pd/ZrPrOx with CeO2 enhances the catalytic activity and thermal durability. Analysis using XPS and HAADF-STEM shows that the mixing effect of ceria is to stabilize Pd4 + at the high temperature and ceria also functions as an excellent support for the segregated PdO, which migrates from ZrPrOx to CeO2.
