Abstract
A novel precipitation/digestion route has been developed to synthesize crystalline cerium hydroxy carbonate (CHC: Ce(OH)CO3) by using an equimolar quantity of cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3• 6H2O) and mixed precipitants (KOH + K2CO3) at room temperature. Nano-sized CeO2 supports could be prepared by the pre-calcination of CHC at 400 °C for 4 h. A highly active water gas shift (WGS) catalyst, 1 wt.% Pt/CeO2 catalyst showed almost equilibrium CO conversion with 100% CO2 selectivity at 320 °C even at the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 45,625 h-1.
