Influence of Ionizing Radiation on the Properties of a Nanodispersed PdO/CeO 2 Catalyst in the Reaction of Low-Temperature Carbon Monoxide Oxidation

The effect of electron-beam irradiation on the catalytic properties of PdO/CeO2 has been examined. It has been found that irradiation in the range of 15–30 kGy results in an increase in the concentration of the radical anion [O−], thereby enhancing the catalytic activity of PdO/CeO2.
