Abstract
With the purpose of changing the lattice structure of CeO2 and improving the transmission capacity of lattice oxygen, CexZr1−xO2 solid solutions with different Zr proportions were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and applied in oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene with CO2 at 550°C. The Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 showed the highest activity with an ethylbenzene conversion of 55% and styrene selectivity above 86%. Analytical characterization showed that the lattice oxygen mobile capacity of CexZr1−xO2 solid solutions was enhanced, corresponding to the order as Ce0.3Zr0.7O2>Ce0.5Zr0.5O2>Ce0.7Zr0.3O2>CeO2. The oxygen storage/release capacity, higher surface area and pore distribution of Ce–Zr mixed oxides play important roles in the activity of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation to styrene with CO2.
