Abstract:
3D porous CeO2 with various morphologies was successfully synthesized via a facile precipitation using glycine as the soft bio-template. During the synthesis, it was demonstrated that the morphology of CeO2 depended on the molar ratio of reactants. Furthermore, the catalytic performance towards CO oxidation of the as-synthesized CeO2 with different morphologies was investigated. CeO2 with a bowknot shape showed excellent catalytic performance, giving complete CO conversion at 370 °C, due to its properties of much higher oxygen vacancies, loosely packed pore structure and larger specific surface area.
