@@ Ceria is widely used as a promoter in "three-way catalysts" (TWC). The promotion effect of ceria was originally supposed to be in the structural aspects and chemical ones[1]. Precious metals are widely used for exhaust gas emission control[2,3]. However, because the high cost of precious metals and their sensitivity to sulfur poisoning, attention has been given to nonprecious metal catalysts such as copper oxide[4~9]. Luo et al[4] reported that CuO/CeO2 catalyst showed markedly enhanced catalytic activity for CO oxidation due to the combined effect of CuO and CeO2. They proposed that the well-dispersed CuO, which can adsorb CO and is reducible at low temperature, is responsible for low-temperature CO oxidation. Our group[5] has prepared CuO/CeO2 catalyst by solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) and conventional impregnation (CI). The CuO/CeO2 prepared via SMAI gave a one-step reduction during TPR experiment, whereas that prepared via CI gave a two-step reduction due to the existence of two kinds of CuO species. Liu et al[6] found that when w(CuO)<12%, the ignition temperature and the total conversion temperature for the reaction decreased with the increase of copper content in the catalyst. When w(CuO)>12%, the excess copper had little effect on the catalyst activity owing to the formation of bulk CuO particles. In this paper, the CuO/CeO2 catalyst was prepared by the impregnation of CeO2 nano-powder with Cu(NO3)2 solution and its catalytic activity for CO oxidation was determined.
