  • Publication number: 20230321632
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide having gradient element distribution and a preparation method therefor. According to the present disclosure, the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide having gradient element distribution is prepared by a step-by-step precipitation method. First, a zirconium-rich component is precipitated to form a crystal structure and a crystal grain stack structure which have high thermal stability, slow down the segregation of zirconium on a surface after high-temperature treatment, and reduce element migration among crystal grains; second, a cerium-rich component is precipitated to improve the cerium content of the surface layers of the crystal grains, improve the utilization rate of the cerium element, and improve the oxygen storage amount and the oxygen storage rate.

  • Publication number: 20230321631
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide with a core-shell structure and a preparation method thereof, a catalyst system using the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide, a catalytic converter for purifying tail gas by using the catalyst system, and application of the catalyst system or the catalytic converter in motor vehicle exhaust purification, industrial waste gas treatment or catalytic combustion. In the present invention, the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide with a core-shell structure oxygen storage material is prepared by a step-by-step precipitation method. On the one hand, yttrium and a part of zirconium and cerium are precipitated on a cerium-zirconium surface, where the post-precipitation of yttrium is to segregate yttrium ions (Y3+) on a grain boundary surface, thus reducing lattice surface energy, pinning the grain boundary surface, making the migration of the grain boundary surface difficult, controlling the growth of grains.

  • Publication number: 20220184583
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a rare-earth-manganese/cerium-zirconium-based composite compound, a method for preparing the same, and a use thereof. The composite compound is of a core-shell structure with a general formula expressed as: A REcBaOb-(1-A)CexZr(1-x-y)MyO2-z, wherein 0.1?A?0.3, preferably 0.1?A?0.2; a shell layer has a main component of rare-earth manganese oxide with a general formula of REcMnaOb, wherein RE is a rare-earth element or a combination of more than one rare-earth elements, and B is Mn or a combination of Mn and a transition metal element, 1?a?8, 2?b?18, and 0.25?c?4; and a core has a main component of cerium-zirconium composite oxide with a general formula of CexZr(1-x-y)MyO2-z, wherein M is one or more non-cerium rare-earth elements, 0.1?x?0.9, 0?y?0.3, and 0.01?z?0.3. The composite compound enhances an oxygen storage capacity of a cerium-zirconium material through an interface effect, thereby increasing a conversion rate of a nitrogen oxide.
