In this work, the addition of praseodymium（Pr） into ceria as a mixed oxide support in a form of Ce（1-x）PrxO2（x = 0.01,0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.10） was prepared using a co-precipitation method. The structural an...In this work, the addition of praseodymium（Pr） into ceria as a mixed oxide support in a form of Ce（1-x）PrxO2（x = 0.01,0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.10） was prepared using a co-precipitation method. The structural and textural properties of the synthesized supports were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, H2-temperature programmed reduction（H2-TPR） and H2-chemisorption. Upon addition of Pr, XRD patterns and Raman spectra indicated an enlargement of ceria unit cell and the characteristics Raman broad peak at 570 cm^（-1） which was attributed to the existence of oxygen vacancies in the ceria lattice. This indicated that some Ce^（4＋） ions in ceria were replaced by larger Pr^（3＋） cations. To evidence the incorporation of Pr^（3＋） cations into ceria lattice,X-ray absorption near edge structure（XANES） was employed. The results showed that the oxidation states of Ce in mixed oxide supports were slightly lower than 4＋ while those of Pr were still the same as a precursor salt. Therefore, the incorporation of Pr^（3＋） into ceria lattice would lead to strain and unbalanced charge and result in oxygen vacancies. The reducibility of Ce（1-x）PrxO2 mixed oxide supports was investigated by H2-TPR and temperature-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiment under reduction conditions. XANES spectra of Ce L3 edges showed a lower surface reduction temperature（Ce^（4＋）to Ce^（3＋）） of Ce（0.925）Pr（0.075）O2 than that of CeO2 which agreed with H2-TPR results. H2-chemisorption indicated that Pr promoted the dispersion of the metal catalyst on the mixed oxide support and increased the adsorption site for CO. For WGS reaction, 1% Pd/mixed oxide support had higher WGS activity than 1%Pd/ceria. The increase of WGS activity was due to the increase of Pd dispersion on the support and the existence of oxygen vacancies produced from incorporation of Pr into the ceria lattice.展开更多

The relationship between energy transfer and scintillation properties was established. It is revealed that there are mainly three energy transfer types in the crystal i.e. host → Ce1/Ce2/STEs, Ce1 →Ce2 and STEs → Ce1/Ce2. The influence of Y content of the LYSO crystals on the energy transfer efficiency of the above processes was carefully analyzed. Besides, we find a special component of the crystal i.e. Y content = 45 at% at which the energy resolution and light output of the crystal perform the worst.展开更多
