Abstract:
For further investigating the role of components in copper-cerium-barium composite oxide catalysts, a series of noble metal-free catalysts with different barium contents were synthesized by citric acid method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett- Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Catalysts were evaluated by NO oxidation, NO adsorption, and NO temperature-programmed desorption. The results showed that barium content significantly affected the catalysts' properties. With barium addition, interactions among components considerably changed; hence, the microstructure and performance of catalysts were distinctly different. In general, the interactions of barium-copper and barium-cerium were not conducive to catalyst adsorption. Adsorption performance derived from barium carbonate was superior to those of the other two components.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
