  • Publication number: 20230241589
    Abstract: A method for the low-temperature heat treatment of toluene by using a composite material having a ternary NiO nanosheet @ bimetallic CeCuOx microsheet core-shell structure. The composite material having the ternary NiO nanosheet @ bimetallic CeCuOx microsheet core-shell structure is placed in an environment containing toluene, and is heated at a low temperature to complete the treatment of toluene. The use of precious metal particles loading is avoided for the catalyst, and the costs of materials is thus greatly reduced. Moreover, nickel oxide grows on CeCuOx microsheet nanosheets. The preparation process is relatively simple, and the catalytic performance on toluene is excellent. Therefore, the method has high economical practicability and research value. The 3Ni/CeCuOx catalyst may completely catalyze toluene at 210° C., which has great research significance and certain application prospects for the actual solution of toluene polluted gas in the air environment.

  • Publication number: 20230241590
    Abstract: Provided are a ternary composite material having a NiO nanosheet/bimetallic CeCuOx microsheet core-shell structure, and a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. CeCuOx has a large specific surface area and high stability. A NiO/CeCuOx core-shell structured composite material catalyst is prepared by growing NiO nanosheets on the surface of CeCuOx by low-temperature hydrothermal treatment and heat treatment. The bimetallic CeCuOx microsheet shows better catalytic performance for toluene than monometallic oxides, i.e., copper oxide and cerium oxide. The further growth of the NiO nanosheets having different concentrations effectively improves catalytic activity. A 3Ni/CeCuOx catalyst can realize complete catalysis of toluene at 210° C.
