Article Synopsis
  • Catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) is crucial for human health, especially using low-cost, efficient catalysts that work at lower temperatures.
  • Nanosized Rh-doped MnO catalysts were synthesized using a dextrose-assisted co-precipitation method, showing unique rod-like shapes and confirming their phase structure through XRD and electron microscopy.
  • These catalysts demonstrated impressive activity for CO oxidation at room temperature and maintained stability even in moist conditions, making them promising for practical applications.

Catalytic reduction of NO with CO at a lower temperature is an extremely challenging task, thus requiring conceivable surfaces to overcome such issues. Ru-substituted CeO catalysts prepared via the solution combustion method were employed in CO oxidation and NO-CO conversion studies. The characterization for material formation and surface structure was carried out through XRD, SEM, TEM, and BET surface area.

Surface architecting of the catalyst is a hopeful method to expand the surface property of the impetus material for upgrading their response towards the chemical reaction. In the present study, designing of the catalyst was carried out using specific transition metals to boost the simultaneous NO-CO conversion reaction catalytically. These metal oxide systems have been prepared using the combustion and wet impregnation method.
