Abstract

Highly ordered mesoporous metal oxides (meso-MO x) such as CeO 2, Co 3O 4, Mn 2O 3, SnO 2, and TiO 2 were successfully synthesized by using nano-replication method, and Pd-loaded meso-MO x (Pd/meso-MO x) catalysts for CO oxidation were investigated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption-desorption, electron microscopy, CO-temperature programmed desorption (CO-TPD), and H 2-temperature programmed reduction (H 2-TPR). All of the catalysts exhibited highly ordered mesostructure and a high surface area (>100 m 2 g -1). The Pd-loading on meso-MO x supports enhanced catalytic activities compared with those of MO x supports only. Among the catalysts, Pd/meso-Co 3O 4 showed a high catalytic activity. The activities of Pd/meso-Co 3O 4 and Pd/meso-Mn 2O 3 were only slightly increased compared to the corresponding meso-MO x materials, whereas Pd/meso-CeO 2, Pd/meso-SnO 2 and Pd/meso-TiO 2 exhibited significant increases in the catalytic activities. XPS spectra showed that Pd species had strong interactions with meso-CeO 2, meso-SnO 2 and meso-TiO 2, and less interaction with meso-Co 3O 4 and meso-Mn 2O 3. These results suggest a synergistic effect between metal and the supports and the catalytic behaviours and activities are highly dependent on the nature of supports. The catalytic activities of Pd/meso-MO x can be further improved by a pre-reduction treatment. After H 2 pretreatment, all of the catalytic activities were increased. Especially, the Pd/meso-CeO 2 exhibited highest activity after the H 2 pretreatment. Because the pretreatment enhances metal-support interaction and the formation of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups around Pd or the surface interaction phase, which is participated by influencing electronic state of the surface active sites.
