Article Synopsis
- Single-atom catalysts face challenges when used on supports with insufficient defects, particularly in environmental catalysis.
- A new defect-enrichment strategy using H reduction pretreatment greatly enhances surface defects in CeO-based supports, improving the dispersion and activity of Pt catalysts.
- The Pt catalysts benefit from embedded single atoms on the defect-rich CA support, leading to more efficient CO adsorption and O activation, resulting in better low-temperature CO oxidation performance.
Transition metal catalysts, such as copper oxide, are more attractive alternatives to noble metal catalysts for emission control due to their higher abundance, lower cost, and excellent catalytic activity. In this study, we report the preparation and application of a novel CuO/CeO catalyst using a hydroxyl-rich Ce(OH) support for CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO. Compared to the catalyst prepared from a regular CeO support, the new CuO/CeO catalyst prepared from the OH-rich Ce(OH) (CuO/CeO-OH) showed significantly higher catalytic activity under different testing conditions.
