Structure dependent catalytic activity of Ce0.8Tb0.2O2−δ and TiO2 supported Ce0.8Tb0.2O2−δ solid solutions for CO oxidation
2014
Abstract A facile coprecipitation and deposition precipitation method were used for synthesis of nanosized Ce 0.8 Tb 0.2 O 2− δ (CT) and Ce 0.8 Tb 0.2 O 2− δ /TiO 2 (CTT) solid solutions, respectively. The synthesized materials were characterized by various state-of-the-art techniques and evaluated for CO oxidation activity. Formation of CT solid solution was confirmed by XRD and Raman, and nanocrystalline nature by TEM. Characterization results further suggested formation of a new pyrochlore phase between TiO 2 and TbO 2 at 1073 K, and the presence of Ce 3+ associated with lattice defects in all samples. Catalytic results showed that CT calcined at 773 K exhibits a high activity and correlates well with physicochemical characteristics.
