Operando XAS and NAP-XPS studies of preferential CO oxidation on Co3O4 and CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts
چکیده انگلیسی


- Co3O4 bulk and surface state was characterized by operando XANES and NAP-XPS.
- Easy surface reduction in pure CO (∼100 °C) is via reaction with lattice oxygen.
- Fast reoxidation by O2 prevents overall reduction.
- Co3O4 bulk and surface appear fully oxidized under PROX selective conditions.
- CeO2 promotion increases reduction temperatures in CO and H2 and enhances PROX activity.

Co3O4 is a promising catalyst for removing CO from H2 streams via the preferential CO oxidation (PROX). A Mars-van-Krevelen redox mechanism is often suggested but a detailed knowledge especially of the oxidation state of the catalytically active surface under reaction conditions is typically missing. We have thus utilized operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy to examine structure and oxidation state during PROX, and near atmospheric pressure-XPS at low photoelectron kinetic energies and thus high surface sensitivity to monitor surface composition changes. The rather easy surface reduction in pure CO (starting already at ∼100 °C) and the easy reoxidation by O2 suggest that molecularly adsorbed CO reacts with lattice oxygen, which is replenished by gas phase O2. Nevertheless, the steady state concentration of oxygen vacancies under reaction conditions is too low even for XPS detection so that both the bulk and surface of Co3O4 appear fully oxidized during PROX. Furthermore, the effect of adding CeO2 (a less active material) to Co3O4 was studied. Promotion of Co3O4 with 10 wt% CeO2 increases the reduction temperatures in CO and H2 and enhances the PROX activity. Since CeO2 is a less active material, this can only be explained by a higher activity of the Co-O-Ce interface.
