Removing soot is one of the most important challenges in minimizing the impact of combustion engines on the environment. Catalysts based on CeO2 have proved suitable to oxidize soot due to their capacity to store and release ...

Engineering the shape and size of catalyst particles and the interface between different components of heterogeneous catalysts at the nanometer level can radically alter their performances. This is particularly true with ...

A series of Pd-supported metal oxides (Al2O3, Fe2O3 and CeO2) have been prepared by a single step solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method. Their catalytic performance was evaluated for the selective hydrogenation of ...

A series of copper ion substituted MAl2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Fe and Zn) spinels is prepared by a single step solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and tested for methanol steam reforming (MSR). The copper ion substituted Cu0.1Fe0.9Al2O4 ...

The methane dry reforming (DRM) reaction mechanism was explored via mechanochemically prepared Pd/CeO2 catalysts (PdAcCeO2M), which yield unique Pd–Ce interfaces, where PdAcCeO2M has a distinct reaction mechanism and higher ...

A series of Pd/CeO2 catalysts was prepared by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) using different Pd precursors. The powders were characterized by complementary techniques such as BET surface area measurements, X-Ray ...

The optimization of the supported Pd phase for CH4 activation on Pd/CeO2 catalysts has been a matter of great interest in the recent literature, aiming at the design of efficient methane abatement catalysts for Natural Gas ...

A series of ceria-zirconia solid solutions has been prepared by a surfactant assisted coprecipitation method. After impregnation of copper, their activities have been assessed for methanol steam reforming. The results ...

A series of SCR catalysts of mixed iron-erbium vanadates supported on TiO2-WO3-SiO2 were prepared and their reduction, textural, structural and morphological properties characterized by temperature programmed reduction, ...
