CeFeO-CeO-FeO Systems: Synthesis by Solution Combustion Method and Catalytic Performance in CO Hydrogenation.

Rare-earth orthoferrites have found wide application in thermocatalytic reduction-oxidation processes. Much less attention has been paid, however, to the production of CeFeO, as well as to the study of its physicochemical and catalytic properties, in particular, in the promising process of CO utilization by hydrogenation to CO and hydrocarbons. This study presents the results of a study on the synthesis of CeFeO by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) using various fuels, fuel-to-oxidizer ratios, and additives.
