Abstract
This study aimed to optimize Cu-Mn catalysts for carbon monoxide (CO) elimination. The catalysts were synthesized via co-precipitation to examine the effects of metal doping (Fe, Ce, and Sn), precipitation temperature variation, and hydrophobic modification using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The structural and performance relationships were systematically analyzed using XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, contact angle measurements, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) combined with catalytic activity tests. The results indicated that Ce doping and a precipitation temperature of 70 °C improved the ablation efficiency by 50 % compared with the other catalysts. Following PVA/PVP modification, the optimized catalyst maintained approximately 85 % ablation efficiency under 90 % relative humidity (RH), offering theoretical and practical insights for the development of high-efficiency CO catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Applied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.
