Resumen
Results of structural refinements and catalytic evaluation of a series of palladium supported ceria-zirconia synthesized through a surfactant-assisted technique were reported. It was found that zirconium addition to ceria leads to a crystalline structure distortion and inhibits the crystal growth at high temperature. Rietveld refinements confirm that all the ceria-zirconia samples have nanocrystals with cationic defects in their structures. The Pd-supported catalysts were very active for both CO and propane complete oxidation. The best catalyst 3wt%Pd/Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 has a light-off temperature (T50) as low as 120°C for CO oxidation and 180°C for C3H8 combustion.
