The oxygen storage capacity of exhaust gas treatment catalysts is crucial for stabilizing catalytic activity and improving engine performance, particularly at sub-stoichiometric oxygen-to-fuel ratios. Co3O4 catalysts demonstrate insensitivity of methane conversion to oxygen variations, while the Pd/Co3O4 catalyst shows the best performance at temperatures between 400 and 550 degrees Celsius.
The high oxygen storage capacity of exhaust gas treatment catalysts is a desirable feature for stabilizing fuel conversion at lambda variations for stoichiometric engine performance. Pd catalysts supported on Co3O4, Al2O3, CeO2 and ZrO2, as well as Pd-free Co3O4, were evaluated using methane combustion at sub-stoichiometric oxygen-to-fuel ratios at temperatures below 550 degrees C. The product analysis was performed with an online mass spectrometer calibrated for CH4, O-2, CO2, H2O, CO and H-2. Only both cobalt catalysts demonstrated the insensitivity of the methane conversion to O-2/CH4 variations. The Pd/Co3O4 catalyst was the only catalyst that produced a 40 % increase in exit gas flow above the feed gas mass flow rate at ignition (light-off) between 400 degrees C and 550 degrees C, with the same decrease upon extinction. The oxygen from the catalyst participated in the combustion, even while the molecular oxygen supplies lasted. Selected catalysts were analyzed by temperature programmed desorption, reduction in H-2 and surface reaction with CH4. In the absence of O-2 in the feed, Pd/Co3O4 supplied a tithe of its bulk oxygen at temperatures of 400-550 degrees C for the formation of CO2 and H2O, while Pd/Al2O3 provided only PdO(-)associated low oxygen for the CO and H-2 formation. Co3O4 surpasses CeO2 in its oxygen-donating properties at low temperatures and at the conditions tested and, thus, is potentially capable of widening the operational lambda window of stoichiometric combustion to a larger extent than ceria.
