Re-dispersion of Pd-based bimetallic catalysts by hydrothermal treatment for CO oxidation.

ABSTRACT: The Pd/CeO₂ catalyst, which is highly active catalyst in automobile emission control especially for CO oxidation, often suffers from severe sintering under harsh condition, specifically hydrothermal treatment. Here, we report re-dispersion of Pd-based bimetallic (Pd-Fe, Pd-Ni, and Pd-Co) catalysts deposited on ceria by hydrothermal treatment at 750 °C using 10% H₂O. The re-dispersion was confirmed by various characterization techniques of transmission electron microscopy, CO chemisorption, CO-diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform, CO-temperature programmed desorption, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The dispersion of Pd increased significantly after hydrothermal treatment, resulting in improved CO oxidation activity. The presence of secondary transition me
