Copper-cobalt ferrites as catalysts for methanol decomposition

  • Research Article
  • Published:
Central European Journal of Chemistry

Abstract

Copper-cobalt ferrites with composition Cu1−xCoxFe2O4, where x= 0.2 and 0.8 were prepared by thermal treatment of co-precipitated precursor. The obtained materials were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD, Transmission and Conversion Electron Mössbauer spectroscopy and temperature programmed reduction with hydrogen. The catalytic properties of ferrites were tested in methanol decomposition to CO and hydrogen.
