Preparation and Properties of Ce-Zr-Mn Composite Oxide Oxygen-Storage Materials

The low cerium oxygen-storage materials of Ce-Zr-Mn composite oxide were prepared by co-precipitation method. The materials were characterized by XRD,BET, OSC and so on. The results show that the precursor is prepared using ammonia as the precipitant at pH=10-13, T≥20°C. The precursor is calcined to form a fresh oxygen-storage materials at 700 °C for 5h. It has single crystalline phase -the solid solution Ce 0.45 Zr0.45-x Mn x Y 0.1 O 1.95 ,which has the cube structure of ZrO2 and contains Mn,Y. Phase structure in the materials is stable in the aging process.The addition of Mn in the oxygen-storage materials contributes to raise oxygen-storage performance of the materials. The materials has the better oxygen-storage performance and heat stability when Mn content in the materials is 0.03.
