Influence of Surface Properties of Nanostructured Ceria-Based Catalysts on Their Stability Performance.

ABSTRACT: As the poor cycling stability of CeO2 catalysts has become the major obstacle for applications of diesel particulate filters (DPF), it is necessary to investigate how to reduce their structural and compositional changes during soot oxidation. In this study, different ratios of Samarium (Sm) were doped into the lattice of CeO2 nanoparticles to improve the catalytic performance as well as surface properties. The stability was investigated by recycling the catalyst, mixing it with soot again, and repeating the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests seven times. Consistent observations were expected for more cycles. It was found that doping 5%, 10%, and 20% samarium into the CeO2 lattice can improve the catalyst stability but at the cost of losing some activity. While the catalyst became more
