Abstract
The effects of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) on the catalytic properties of Pd/Ce–Zr/Al 2O 3 catalyst for methane combustion have been investigated. The supported Pd catalysts are characterized by BET, XRD, TEM, TPR, TPO and TPSR measurements. Activity tests in methane combustion show that Pd/Ce–Zr–Ni/Al 2O 3 has the highest catalytic activity and thermal stability among all catalysts. The results of TEM show that the addition of Ni to Pd/Ce–Zr/Al 2O 3 increases the dispersion of Pd component and inhibits the site growth. The results of TPO and TPSR show that the addition of Ni inhibits the decomposition of PdO particles and improves the reduction–reoxidation properties of the active PdO species, which increases the catalytic activity and thermal stability of the Pd/Ce–Zr/Al 2O 3 catalyst.
