Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional environmental materials technology, specifically relating to a Na + Modified CuO x / CeO2 catalysts, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and stable gas. Inhalation weakens the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin, damages the central nervous system, and seriously endangers human health. In enclosed spaces such as underground parking lots, residential buildings, and ship cabins, CO tends to accumulate easily but is difficult to dissipate, often causing sudden, high-concentration CO pollution. Currently, the elimination of high-concentration CO mainly employs catalytic oxidation. The supported catalysts used include a carrier and an active component. CeO2 is widely used as a carrier due to its excellent redox capabilities, while the active components are mainly noble metals such as Pt and Pd. However, the high amount of noble metals required for catalyst preparation and the need for high-temperature thermal catalytic driving during CO oxidation increasingly highlight the problems of high cost and high energy consumption.
[0003] Non-precious metal catalysts are mainly composed of one or two oxides of Cu, Co, Mn, Ni, Fe, and Ce, among which CuO x CeO2 catalysts have attracted widespread attention due to their good CO oxidation activity and low cost, and are expected to replace noble metal catalysts. Alkali metals can act as structural and electronic promoters in the oxidation of certain noble metal CO, significantly enhancing catalytic activity by influencing the metal coordination environment, electronic state, and metal-support interactions. Currently, most high-concentration CO oxidation removal utilizes thermocatalysis, while photocatalysis, with its low energy consumption and mild conditions, has received little attention.
[0004] Therefore, providing a catalyst that can utilize mild light conditions without adding an additional heat source is of great research significance for achieving rapid removal of high concentrations of CO pollutants. Summary of the Invention
