Catalytic Soot Oxidation Using Ceria, Cobalt And Copper Nanocomposites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2018
Abstract
Nanosized CeO2-CuO (CeCu, 2:1) and CeO2-CoO (CeCo, 2:1) were synthesized by co-precipitation from nitrate precursors using 25% ammonia solution (NH4OH) as the precipitating agent. The catalysts were calcined in air at 800°C for 4h to evaluate the thermal stability. Powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) techniques were used for catalyst characterization. A Thermo Gravimetric/Differential Thermal Analyzer (TG/DTA) was used to determine the catalytic efficiency and soot oxidation activity. Ce-composite nanoparticles heightens the redox properties of the catalyst relative to undoped ceria. The Ce-composite samples exhibited excellent soot catalytic combustion performance by decreasing activation energy of soot oxidation.
