(363ab) Understanding the Structure-Performance Relationship of CO Oxidation Reaction through the Fabrication of Cerium Oxide Aerogel-Based Catalysts with Various Structures
Author
Research interest is in the correlation between catalyst structure and catalytic performance. Aerogels, three-dimensional porous structures, are known for their high specific surface area, continuous particulate structure, and easy tunable morphology, making them advantageous for creating high-performance catalysts. Leveraging these advantages of aerogels, significant research efforts are required to develop high-performance catalyst supports or catalysts themselves. As part of these efforts, this study focuses on synthesizing cerium oxide-based aerogels in various morphologies and loading Cu as an active site. Subsequently, the CO oxidation performance was measured, and the relationship between the aerogel structure and CO oxidation performance was elucidated.
