Abstract

Pd/Y-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by Y-ZrO2 with different morphologies (flower-like, spherical, reticulated, and bulk-specific morphology), which were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. Activity evaluation and characterization results show that the morphology influences the microstructures of Y-ZrO2 and the chemical states of active Pd species, thus affecting the activity of methane oxidation. Bulk Pd/Y-ZrO2 exhibits the best CH4 oxidation activity and thermal stability due to the block shape exposed (101) surface, and the single tetragonal phase structure maintained after high-temperature aging. The relatively large-sized Pd particles and Pd0 jointly promote the catalytic oxidation of CH4.
