ABSTRACT
The aim of this work was to obtain more detailed insight into the role of Au-support interactions in the creation of catalytic performance of Au/Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 in CO oxidation. The Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 oxide and Au/Ce0.75Zr0.25O2 catalysts were synthesized, characterized by BET, XRD, HRTEM, AAS, TPR-H2, and tested in CO oxidation. An approximate evaluation of H2 consumption for the surface reduction of the studied samples was estimated, applying the model developed by Johnson and Mooi, based on the qualitative relationship between the magnitude of the capping oxygen and BET surface area.
