Influence of surface Ce/Zr ratio on formation of k-Ce2Zr2O8 superstructure and its application in three-way catalysis

Jie Deng et al.

Summary: Ceria-zirconia based (CZ) materials are important for three-way catalysts (TWCs). The CZ material with k-Ce2Zr2O8 phase shows excellent oxygen storage capacity and is considered a promising material for TWCs. The surface Ce/Zr ratio affects the formation of k-Ce2Zr2O8 and the performance of Pd-only three-way catalysts. The stability of k-Ce2Zr2O8 influences the proportions of Ce3+ and oxidized palladium (Pd delta++Pd2+), and Pd/M0.33RO exhibits the best catalytic performance due to the presence of stable k-Ce2Zr2O8.

Zahra Shamohammadi Ghahsareh et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of CeO2 on the crystallization behavior, microstructural features, and mechanical and chemical properties of canasite glass-ceramics for dental applications. The results show that the addition of CeO2 slightly increases the crystallization temperatures and significantly decreases the thermal expansion coefficients of the starting glasses. Raman spectroscopy results confirm that CeO2 enhances the network connectivity of the glasses. The presence of CeO2 favors the crystallization of miserite, calcium fluoride, and canasite crystalline phases. Canasite crystals exhibit an inter-locked blade-like morphology while miserite crystals have a cubic-like morphology. Base-C-2 demonstrates the highest chemical durability and acceptable mechanical properties as a restorative dental material.
