Abstract
Ceria materials were modified by doping with gadolinia or yttria and by a hold period at 260 °C for 2 h during temperature-programmed calcinations to 650 °C. These doped ceria-supported copper oxide catalysts and the doped ceria material were characterized by temperature-programmed reduction, electron paramagnetic resonance, and CO oxidation activity test. It was observed that, as the doping concentration of gadolinia increases, the reduction temperature of the copper oxide species increases and the CO oxidation activity decreases. This is due to increased formation of the surface spinel species of copper oxide with gadolinia. As the yttria content increases to greater than 10 mol%, surface segregation occurs, which causes the amount of surface oxygen vacancies to decrease. It was also found that maintaining the temperature at 260 °C during calcination may decrease the amount of oxygen vacancies. The surface oxygen vacancies may be the active sites for CO oxidation over the oxygen ion conducting materials in the absence of any metal present. Gd doping leads to the formation of extrinsic oxygen vacancies, which increases the oxygen ionic conductivity of the doped ceria and thus increases the CO oxidation activities of the supported catalysts as well as of the doped ceria.
