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. The effect of OH species in the CeO support on the catalytic performance and physicochemical properties of the CuO/CeO catalyst was characterized in detail. It is demonstrated that the abundant OH species enhanced the CuO dispersion on CeO, increased the CuO-CeO interfaces and surface defects, promoted the oxygen activation and mobility, and boosted the NO adsorption and dissociation on CuO/CeO-OH, thus contributing to its superior catalytic activity for both CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO. These results suggest that the OH-rich Ce(OH) is a superior support for the preparation of highly efficient metal catalysts for different applications.

Herein, three supported catalysts, CuO/AlO, CeO/AlO, and CuO-CeO/AlO, were synthesized by the convenient impregnation method to reveal the effect of CeO addition on catalytic performance and reaction mechanism for toluene oxidation. Compared with CuO/AlO, the T and T (the temperatures at 50% and 90% toluene conversion, respectively) of CuO-CeO/AlO were reduced by 33 and 39 °C, respectively. N adsorption-desorption experiment, XRD, SEM, EDS mapping, Raman, EPR, H-TPR, O-TPD, XPS, NH-TPD, Toluene-TPD, and in-situ DRIFTS were conducted to characterize these catalysts.

The CO preferential oxidation reaction (CO-PROX) is an effective strategy to remove residual poisonous CO in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in which oxygen vacancies play a critical role in CO adsorption and activation. Herein, a series of CuO/CeO catalysts derived from Ce-MOFs precursors were synthesized using different organic ligands via the hydrothermal method and the CO-PROX performance was investigated. The CuO/CeO-135 catalyst derived from homophthalic tricarboxylic acid (1,3,5-HBTC) exhibited superior catalytic performance with 100 % CO conversion at a relatively low temperature (T = 100 °C), with a wide reaction temperature range and excellent stability.

Designing CO oxidation catalysts for complex flue gases conditions is particularly challenging in fire scenarios. Traditional flue gas simulations use a few representative gases but often fail to adequately evaluate catalyst performance in real-world combustion conditions. In this study, we developed doping strategies using La and Cu to enhance the water resistance of CoO catalysts.

CeO is an outstanding support commonly used for the CuO-based CO oxidation catalysts due to its excellent redox property and oxygen storage-release property. However, the inherently small specific surface area of CeO support restricts the further enhancement of its catalytic performance. In this work, the novel mesoporous CeO nanosphere with a large specific surface area (~190.

As part of the nitrogen cycle, environmental nitrous oxide (NO) undergoes the NO reduction reaction (NORR) catalyzed by nitrous oxide reductase, a metalloenzyme whose catalytic active site is a tetranuclear copper-sulfide cluster (Cu). On the other hand, heterogeneous Cu catalysts on oxide supports are known to mediate decomposition of NO (deNO) by disproportionation. In this study, a Cu model system supported by triazenide ligands is characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR and EPR spectroscopies, and electronic structure calculations.
