摘要
CoO/CeOcomposites with high surface areas and ultrafine crystalline sizes for catalytic combustion of methane were firstly prepared by a new sol-gel method which combined ultrasonic impregnation treatment and calcination in Natmosphere. The samples were characterized by various means such as nitrogen adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Htemperature-programmed reduction(H-TPR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Results showed that the modified catalyst had the mesoporous structure, comparatively higher amount of surface oxygen and larger oxygen vacancies than others. As a result of the structure and surface composition merits, a high methane combustion conversion(50%) could be obtained at a low temperature of 262 °C for the modified CoO/CeOcomposites catalysts. The experimental results demonstrated that ultrasonic impregnation treatment combined with the Nthermal treatment prior to calcination in air had a promising application for preparation of CoO/CeOcomposites catalysts for low-temperature catalytic combustion of methane.
