A series of CexZr0.50-xAl0.50O1.75(0.05≤x≤0.45) mixed oxides with different Ce/Zr ratio were prepared by co-precipitation method and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD),Brunauer-Emmet Teller method(BET),temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR) and oxygen pulsing technique.The XRD results showed that all samples kept the single CeO2 cubic fluorite structure after calcination at 600 and 1000 oC for 5 h.The results of BET revealed that CexZr0.50-xAl0.50O1.75 with Ce/Zr molar ratio 1/1 exhibited higher specific surface area(212 m2/g) and larger pore volume(0.40 ml/g).For all aged samples,CZA with Ce/Zr molar ratio 3/7 presented the highest specific surface area(104 m2/g) and pore volume(0.34 ml/g).The compounds could still keep prominent structural and textural stability with excellent redox properties even calcined at 1000 oC.
CeO2-based oxygen materials were prepared with co-precipitation method and characterized via Brunauer-Emmet Teller(BET)method,X-ray diffraction(XRD)and temperature-programmed reduction(H2-TPR).This paper revealed that three CeO2-based oxygen storage materials are all forming homogeneous solid solution.Among the samples,CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3(CZA)has the best textural properties and excellent thermal stability.The specific surface area and pore volume of aged CZA are 90 m2/g and 0.29 mL/g.We proposed a viewpoint:Al3+ might insert among the interspace of fluorite structure or highly dispersal in solid solutions.
The Pd-only catalysts for motorcycle were prepared by impregnating CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 and CeO2-ZrO2+Al2O3 with PdCl2 aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), oxygen storage capacity (OSC) and H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) methods. The XRD result indicated that the CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 compound prepared by co-precipitation formed a single solid solution and had good thermal stability, and Pd phase was not observed in all catalysts. The TPR results showed that the reduction temperature of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst was lower than that of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2+Al2O3 catalyst whether they were fresh or aged catalysts. The Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 exhibited high three-way catalytic activity at low temperature, high thermal stability, and wide working window, suggesting a great potential for applications.
