Electrospinning synthesis and characterization of nanofibers of Co, Ce and mixed Co-Ce oxides. Their application to oxidation reactions of diesel soot and CO

M. Angeles Stegmayer et al.

Summary: Co, Ce and Co-Ce nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning method and applied to gas-solid and solid-solid-gas reactions. Different activity trends were observed in CO oxidation and combustion of diesel soot, with Co-Ce nanofibers showing the highest activity for soot combustion and Co exhibiting the highest activity for CO oxidation. The temperature range for maximum combustion rate was narrow for soot combustion and wider for CO oxidation. The high activity for soot oxidation was attributed to multiple contact points between fibers and soot particles, while the trend observed for CO oxidation was related to the higher redox capacity of Co.

A simple model catalyst study to distinguish the roles of different oxygen species in propane and soot combustion

Xuezan Mao et al.

Summary: Distinguishing the specific roles of superficial O(x)(n-) and interfacial lattice oxygen in catalytic combustion, especially over catalysts consisting of reducible metal oxides, is important yet difficult. This study compares two natural counterparts, CeO2 (an Oxn-generator) and Pr6O11 (a lattice oxygen contributor), and suggests that catalytic combustion of propane follows a Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, with catalyst lattice oxygen being the dominant reactive phase. In the case of soot combustion, adsorbed O-x(n-) acts as a more sustainable oxidant compared to lattice oxygen. This comparison method is widely applicable for identifying the dominant reactive phases in oxidation reactions over oxide-based catalysts.

Summary: Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 catalysts promoted by multivalent transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co) oxides were prepared to accelerate soot combustion.
