Abstract
AbstractA novel CeO2/MgO catalyst with low ceria loading has been synthesized. This catalyst showed unique redox properties compared with conventional high and low surface area CeO2. Advanced (scanning) transmission electron microscopy techniques revealed the presence of a variety of highly dispersed ceria nanostructures: isolated CeOx entities, CeO2 clusters, as well as fairly small (<5 nm) CeO2 nanoparticles. More interestingly, this CeO2/MgO catalyst showed outstanding stability in its redox response against high temperature aging treatments. Thus, after reduction in hydrogen at 950 °C and further oxidation at 500 °C, CeO2 reduction effects took still place at low temperatures, and no significant loss of oxygen storage capacity (OSC) was detected. Unique ceria‐bilayer nanostructures were found and characterized in the aged catalyst. Their peculiar structural and chemical properties seem to be responsible for the large improvement observed in the stability of the redox response.
