The influence of the calcination temperature on the chemical compositions and catalytic performance of CuO/CeO_2 catalysts were studied. It was found that CuO/CeO_2 catalysts exhibit excellent CO oxidation activity and selectivity,and the complete removal of CO is attained when the catalysts are calcined at appropriate temperatures. XRD, TPR and XPS results indicate that CuO/CeO_2 catalysts exhibit higher catalytic performance in CO selective oxidation due to the strong interaction between copper oxide and cerium dioxide, which promotes the dispersion and hydrogen reduction activity of copper.展开更多
