  • Publication number: 20240359164
    Abstract: Disclosed are a grain boundary and surface-loaded noble metal catalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof. The noble metal is dispersed at the grain boundary and surface of alumina and/or a rare earth manganese-zirconium composite oxide to form a multiphase interface, which achieves the following beneficial technical effects: firstly, the multiphase interface has a larger steric hindrance and a stronger anchoring effect, which can inhibit the migration, agglomeration, and growth of the noble metal at high temperatures, increase the high-temperature stability and catalytic performance of the noble metal, and reduce the usage of the noble metal; secondly, the multiphase interface exhibits a synergistic catalytic effect, which can reduce the activation energy of lattice oxygen and increase the quantity of active oxygen, thereby enhancing the NO oxidation and low-temperature catalytic activity.

  • 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.
