Characterization of CeO2-supported Cu–Pd bimetallic catalyst for the oxygen…

Abstract. Our recent work demonstrated that Cu–Pd bimetallic catalyst supported on a nano-crystalline CeO2 synthesized by urea gelation method is effective for oxygen-assisted water–gas shift (OWGS) reaction. The present study focuses on the roles of Cu and Pd in CuPd/CeO2 bimetallic catalysts containing 20–30 wt% Cu and 0.5–1 wt% Pd used in the OWGS reaction employing a combined bu…
