Abstract
Ordered nanoporous silicas containing various binary copper-manganese oxides were prepared as catalytic systems for effective carbon monoxide elimination. The carbon monoxide elimination efficiency was demonstrated as a function of the [Mn]/[Cu] ratio and reaction time. The prepared catalysts were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, small- and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) for structural analysis. Moreover, quantitative analysis of the binary metal oxides within the nanoporous silica was achieved by inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The binary metal oxide-loaded nanoporous silica showed high room temperature catalytic efficiency with over 98 % elimination of carbon monoxide at higher concentration ratio of [Mn]/[Cu].Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s11671-015-1197-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
Highlights
Methods to effectively eliminate carbon monoxide have attracted much attention [1,2,3,4,5]
Transition metal oxides like CuOx, MnOx, and FeOx have so far been used for the elimination of carbon monoxide in bimetallic forms [13,14,15]
This approach enables the facile development of binary CuMnOx nanoparticles in the highly ordered mesopores, which results in effective CO removal
Summary
Methods to effectively eliminate carbon monoxide have attracted much attention [1,2,3,4,5]. It would be better to cite some examples [6,7,8] Even though these supported noble metal-based catalysts have shown high activities for carbon monoxide elimination, their further application has been limited due to difficulties in reuse, sintering at high temperature, and high cost [9,10,11,12]. For this reason, the development of transition metal oxide catalysts as alternatives has gained much interest. The binary Cu-Mn oxides have flexible metal valences
