Popis: Pd/ZrO 2 , Pd-Sn/ZrO 2 and Sn/ZrO 2 were prepared by incipient wetness using Pd(NO 3 ) 2 ·XH 2 O and SnC 4 H 4 O 6 ·XH 2 O as precursors, dried and calcined in static air at 500 °C, 800 °C or 1100 °C. The influence of Sn species in the oxygen storage capacity of the catalysts, distribution of Pd particle sizes and CH 4 oxidation reaction were investigated. Pd particle size was larger on Sn-containing catalysts and showed lower mobility than those in the absence of Sn. Sn oxide species act as an oxygen reservoir that are easily transferred to Pd surfaces promoting the oxidation reaction of methane. For Pd-Sn-containing solids calcined at 1100 °C, the contribution of Sn in the CH 4 oxidation reaction is negligible.
