Abstract
We prepare a series of MnOx–CeO2 catalysts with a molar ratio of Mn : Ce = 3 : 7 by coprecipitation and varying the calcination temperature from 300 to 800°C. The catalysts are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the catalytic activity of all samples is tested in the CO oxidation reaction. A (Mn,Ce)O2 solid solution with the fluorite structure forms in all catalysts. Based on the studies performed, a catalyst calcined at 600°C is selected for further studies of the effect of topochemical reduction on the catalytic activity in the CO oxidation reaction by X-ray diffraction in the operando mode. The experiment is carried out sequentially in a stepwise mode: stepwise heating/cooling in a reaction mixture of 1% CO + 2% O2 in the mode 150–175–200–175–150°C (stages 1, 3, and 5); reduction of the sample in a mixture of 10% CO + He at 400°C (stage 2); reduction of the sample in a mixture of 10% H2 + He at 400°С (stage 4). The reductive treatment leads to segregation of the initial (Mn,Ce)O2 solid solution and the appearance of dispersed manganese oxides on the surface, while enrichment of the surface with manganese oxide increases its activity in the CO oxidation reaction.
