Abstract

From the peculiarities of Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) method and using the Sestak–Berggren conversion function, we describe first the TPR curve simulation procedure. The influence of the Sestak–Berggren exponents on the TPR peak maximum and shape is demonstrated, by analyzing several synthetic TPR profiles. Finally, the kinetic parameters of Au/CeO2 promoted with yttrium as well as those of Au/CeO2–Al2O3 promoted with V2O5 are discussed.
