XRD shows that solid solution with cubicphase formed in all the solid solutions (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2. Raman spectrum showsthat Ce-Th complex oxides can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies. Two reduction peaks appearin the TPR profiles of Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 solid solution. The a peak is attributed to the reduction ofCe^(4+) on the surface, and the β peak is attributed to the reduction of bulk CeO_2. Theincorporation of Th atom into CeO_2 improves the reduction of CeO_2. Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 mixed oxidesare promising materials for oxygen vacancies produced, as well as catalysts for many reactionsinvolved oxygen, such as the catalysts for three-way reactions for reducing the releasing pollutantsor combustion of VOCs.展开更多
