Abstract
The oxygen-exchange properties of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 samples prepared by the traditional coprecipitation method with the use of a biotemplate (pine wood sawdust) were studied by the temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation methods. The use of the template and the presence of alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations in it provides a high mobility of oxygen and a high capacity with respect to oxygen in the biomorphic oxide. Impurities cause the segregation of Ce- and Zr-enriched phases under high-temperature treatment conditions, which worsens the redox properties of the biomorphic sample. Nevertheless, the ability of the biomorphic sample to play the role of an “oxygen buffer” remains high compared with the coprecipitated oxide subjected to similar treatments.
