Morphology-Dependent Catalytic Activity of Ru/CeO₂ in Dry Reforming of Methane.

ABSTRACT: Three morphology-controlled CeO₂, namely nanorods (NRs), nanocubes (NCs), and nanopolyhedra (NPs), with different mainly exposed crystal facets of (110), (100), and (111), respectively, have been used as supports to prepare Ru (3 wt.%) nanoparticle-loaded catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by H₂-temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR), CO⁻ temperature programmed desorption (CO-TPD), N₂ adsorption⁻desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (XDS). The characterization results showed that CeO₂-NRs, CeO₂-NCs, and CeO₂-NPs mainly expose (110), (100) and (111) facets, respectively. Moreover,
