Abstract
The effects of $CeO_2$ on catalytic activity of $CeO_2-TiO_2$ for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of $NO_x$ were investigated in terms of structural, morphological, and physico-chemical analyseis. $CeO_2-TiO_2$ catalysts were synthesized with three different additions, 10, 20, and 30 wt% of $CeO_2$, by the sol-gel method. The XRD peaks of all specimens were assigned to a $TiO_2$ phase (anatase) and the peaks became broader with the addition of $CeO_2$ because it was dispersed as an amorphous phase on the surface of $TiO_2$ particles. The specific surface area of $TiO_2$ increased with the addition of $CeO_2$ from $60.6306m^2/g$ to $116.2791m^2/g$ due to suppression of $TiO_2$ grain growth by $CeO_2$. The 30 wt% $CeO_2-TiO_2$ catalyst, having the strongest catalytic acid sites ($Br{\Phi}nsted$ and Lewis), showed the highest $NO_x$ conversion efficiency of 98 % at $300^{\circ}C$ among the specimens. It was considered that $CeO_2$ contributes to the improvement of the $NO_x$ conversion of $CeO_2-TiO_2$ catalyst by increasing specific surface area and catalytic acid sites.
