Low temperature CO oxidation over gold supported mesoporous Fe-TiO2
2010
Abstract A series of gold supported mesoporous Fe–TiO 2 samples were prepared by the borohydrate reduction method. Fe–TiO 2 (1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 wt%) was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized by TEM, XPS, UV–vis DRS, photoluminescent spectra (PL), TPR/TPD, BET surface area etc. A detail study has been carried out to know the effect of iron on the physico-chemical and catalytic property of gold–titania catalyst. Iron doping influences the surface and electronic properties of Au–TiO 2 . The activity of these catalysts for CO oxidation was evaluated. We observed higher catalytic activity of gold supported Fe–TiO 2 catalysts compared to gold supported TiO 2 . We found that the catalyst with 5 wt% of Iron was the most active catalyst. The gold supported Fe–TiO 2 catalyst does not lose its activity over several hours even at 500 °C, in marked contrast to Au–TiO 2 . Iron doping enhances the catalytic activity of Au–TiO 2 as well as stabilizes the catalyst at high temperature.
