Reddy, Editeur scientifique ; Pankaj Bharali, Editeur scientifique ; Pranjal Saikia, Editeur scientifique Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : P. 453-462 Note générale : Chemical engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Nanostructured  CexZr1−xO2  Thermal  stability  Oxides  Anatase-TiO2 Résumé : A study has been undertaken on the thermal stability and dispersion behavior of nanostructured CexZr1−xO2 mixed oxides over anatase-TiO2 support, synthesized by a deposition coprecipitation method and subjected to heat treatments at different temperatures. An unsupported CexZr1−xO2 mixed oxide was also synthesized by coprecipitation method for the purpose of comparison. The structural/morphological characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV−visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV−vis DRS), and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. XRD measurements revealed the presence of cubic Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 phase at 773 K and incorporation of more zirconium into the ceria lattice at higher temperatures. HREM analysis conformed highly dispersed Ce−Zr nano-oxides over anatase-TiO2 support having the sizes in the range of 3−5 nm at 773 K. At higher temperatures, a slight increase in the crystallite size (5−10 nm) has been observed. The XPS measurements revealed the stabilization of Ce3+ at higher temperatures and presence of Zr and Ti in 4+ oxidation states. UV−vis DRS studies showed that oxygen to metal (Ce4+/Ce3+) charge-transfer transitions occur at lower wavelengths in the case of CexZr1−xO2/TiO2 compared to pure CexZr1−xO2. TPR experiments revealed that the surface reduction of CexZr1−xO2/TiO2 takes place at lower temperatures, which facilitates better CO oxidation activity in comparison to the unsupported CexZr1−xO2.
