Pure CeO2and a series of (x %) K-CeO2(x=1, 2, 3, 4) catalysts were respectively prepared by the precipitation and incipient wetness impregnation methods, and characterized by means of XRD, BET and H2-TPR techniques. The catalytic activity was investigated by the gas-solid reaction with methane in the absence of gaseous oxidant in a fixed bed reactor at 800 °C. The XRD measurement showed that doping of K2CO3did not change the structure of CeO2with the addition of K2CO3 without formation of Ce-K-O solid solution in these materials. Surface area of catalysts wasSubscript textdecreased with the impregnation amount of K2CO3. Reducibility of catalysts was obviously enhanced by the addition of K2CO3as shown in H2-TPR tests. The catalysts activity tests indicated that adding K2CO3to CeO2could promote the oxygen storage capacity of catalysts. K species in CeO2could affect the CO formation in methane oxidation.

Raising number of vehicles emits pollutants responsible for one third of total air pollution. Carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main pollutants from petrol engines. It requires stringent vehicular emission norms to be followed for controlling it. Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCC) contain Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) as catalyst to reduce exhaust emission and is widely used method that fulfills these standards. Because of high cost of PGMs and considerable advancement in metal oxide preparatory methods, metal oxide catalysts have gained more attraction. Manganese oxide (MnOx) and Cobalt Oxide (CoOx) have displayed impressive redox reactions at lower temperature. MnOx seems to be a suitable contender of Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) and Cobalt oxide (CoOx) has displayed an excellent catalytic activity for HC and CO oxidation. Hence, these catalysts attract the attention of researchers. Present paper assesses the prospect of MnOx and CoOx as catalysts for the TWCC for redox reactions of CO, HC and NOx and also in terms of OSC and T50 temperature. It is found that CoOx and MnOx both low cost metal oxide catalysts stand a good chance to replace the noble metals for TWCC.
