Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this work, a facile solvothermal method with the assistance of chitosan (CS) has been developed to prepare well-dispersed ceria core–shell nanospheres. The effects of CS on the growth mechanism and the catalytic performance of CeO2 and Au/CeO2 nanocomposites for CO oxidation are investigated in detail. CS leads to the formation of core–shell nanospheres as soft template, changing the exposed lattice planes, and reducing Ce4+ to Ce3+ as reducing agent, resulting in the increasing of the oxygen vacancy, following the co-existence of Au3+ and Au0, which leads to the improvement of the catalytic activity for CO oxidation. As a result, the synthesized Au/CeO2 nanospheres with the assistance of CS exhibit a higher catalytic activity in CO oxidation than Au/CeO2 like-cube.
