摘要
ZrO2 in different structures and CexZr4-xO8 solid solutions have been prepared by a sol-gel related method with propionic acid as the solvent. The results of their characterization and CO hydro-genation performance evaluation show that t-ZrO2 has better catalytic performance for CO hydrogenation to hydrocarbon than m-ZrO2. Cerium (Ⅲ) acetate and zirconium (Ⅳ) acetylacetonate have been chosen as the most suitable starting materials for CexZr4-xO8 solid solution preparation. Ce-Zr reducibility properties are increased by the incorporation of zirconium oxide in the ceria structure. Ce2Zr2O8 exhibits a higher activity, lower methane selectivity and higher iso-C4 selectivity than tetragonal ZrO2. This implies that the formation mechanism of C4 hydrocarbons, especially that for the iso-C4 fraction is different over Ce2Zr2O8 and t-ZrO2.
