Abstract

The Cu-doped Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 (CZ) catalyst was investigated in terms of its NO oxidation activity, structure and surface characteristics. The Cu/CZ catalyst with 6 wt% Cu loading and 550°C calcination temperature of CZ support showed the best catalytic performance, and over 50% NO conversion was obtained in a wide temperature range (250–370°C). Moreover, this catalyst showed good resistance to H2O and SO2. The dispersion of CuO species on the smaller crystallite size CZ support was favorable for NO adsorption. The Cu–Ce–Zr solid solution provided the sites of oxygen vacancies, prompted the formation of active oxygen, which in sum improved the oxidation activity of NO.
