The results show that the addition of CeO 2 clearly improves the catalytic activity, which may derive from the synergic effect between CeO 2 and PdO. The catalysts were characterized by means of temperature programmed reduction and X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. The XPS results of a slight increase in metal oxidation state reflect that the charge transfers from metal to ceria and ceria is slightly reduced, which leads to a decrease of the Ce O bond strength. Pd Ce synergism affects the reduction behavior of the catalysts. The TPR results show that the CeO 2 addition lowers the reduction temperature of PdO, while palladium facilitates the reduction of the ceria. For PdO/La 2O 3/Al 2O 3/monolith honeycomb catalysts, the aging test measurements at 1050 ℃ and the XRD results show that the formation of LaAlO 3 which neutralizes the surface alumina defects inhibits the sintering of alumina.展开更多
