A series of sulfated CeO2 catalysts were synthesized by impregnation and sol-gel methods and used for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by NH3. The results showed that the sulfated CeO2 catalysts prepared by sol-gel method showed excellent catalytic activity at 150-450 degrees C, and more than 90% NOx conversion was obtained at 232-450 degrees C with a gas hourly space velocity of 60000 h(-1). The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N-2 adsorption, Raman, thermogravimetry (TG), H-2-temperature-programmed reduction (H-2-TPR) and Py-infrared spectroscopy (Py-IR). The excellent SCR performance was associated with the surface acidity and the micro-structure. The introduction of sulfate acid into CeO2 could increase the amount of Bronsted and Lewis acid sites over the catalysts, resulting in the improvement of the low temperature activity. The sulfated CeO2 catalysts prepared by sol-gel method possessed lower crystallization degree, excellent redox property and larger specific surface areas, which were responsible for the superior SCR performance.
