CuO-CeO2 nanocatalysts with varying CuO contents (1, 5, 9, 14 and 17 wt %) were prepared by one-step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) and applied to CO oxidation. The influences of CuO content on the as-prepared catalysts were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption at −196 °C, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR). A superior CO oxidation activity was observed for the 14 wt % CuO-CeO2 catalyst, with 90% CO conversion at 98 °C at space velocity (60,000 mL × g−1 × h−1), which was attributed to abundant surface defects (lattice distortion, Ce3+, and oxygen vacancies) and high reducibility supported by strong synergistic interaction. In addition, the catalyst also displayed excellent stability and resistance to water vapor. Significantly, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS) showed that in the CO catalytic oxidation process, the strong synergistic interaction led readily to dehydroxylation and CO adsorption on Cu+ at low temperature. Furthermore, in the feed of water vapor, although there was an adverse effect on the access of CO adsorption, there was also a positive effect on the formation of fewer carbon intermediates. All these results showed the potential of highly active and water vapor-resistive CuO-CeO2 catalysts prepared by FSP.

Co3O4 spheroids of different texture without/with Au deposition were highly active yet very durable at 60–90 °C for CO oxidation. The calcined Co3O4-based catalysts and the yolk–shell type one were even more durable. The catalysts encountered obvious enhancement in CO oxidation activity via in situ pretreatment.

The preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide has been identified as an effective route to remove trace amounts of CO (approx. 0.5–1.0 vol%) in the H2-rich reformate gas stream after the low-temperature water–gas shift. Instead of noble metal-based catalysts, Co3O4-based catalysts were investigated in this study as cheaper and more readily available alternatives. This study aimed at investigating the effect of crystallite size on the mass- and surface area-specific CO oxidation activity as well as on the reduction behaviour of Co3O4. Model Co3O4 catalysts with average crystallite sizes between 3 and 15 nm were synthesised using the reverse micelle technique. Results from the catalytic tests revealed that decreasing the size of the Co3O4 crystallites increased the mass-specific CO oxidation activity in the 50–200 °C temperature range. On the other hand, the surface area-specific CO oxidation activity displayed a volcano-type behaviour where crystallites with an average size of 8.5 nm were the most active within the same temperature range. In situ characterisation in the magnetometer revealed that the Co3O4 crystallites are partially reduced to metallic Co above 225 °C with crystallites larger than 7.5 nm showing higher degrees of reduction under the H2-rich environment of CO-PrOx. In situ PXRD experiments further showed the presence of CoO concurrently with metallic fcc Co in all the catalysts during the CO-PrOx runs. In all experiments, the formation of fcc Co coincided with the formation of CH4. Upon decreasing the reaction temperature below 250 °C under the reaction gas, both in situ techniques revealed that the fcc Co previously formed is partially re-oxidised to CoO.
