- Abstract
Copper oxides tend to agglomerate on the surface of CeO2, with a high amount of Cu. In this study, a CeO2 catalyst with a high CuO doping amount was treated with nitric acid to improve its catalytic performance for soot oxidation. The effect of acid etching on the structural properties of the CuO-doped CeO2 catalyst were elucidated. The characterization results indicated that aggregated CuO particles formed over CuCe. The acid etching resulted in a remarkable increase in the surface area of CuCe. Additionally, acid etching promoted the formation of surface-adsorbed oxygen species and oxygen vacancy, and reduced the content of CuOx species with weak interaction with CeO2. The soot temperature-programmed oxidation results show the acid etching of CuCe catalyst could reduce the T50 from 443 to 383 °C. The isothermal reaction results also suggest that acid etching of CuCe leads to an increase in reaction rate from 16.2 to 46.0 μmol min−1 g−1.
