| Popis: | The addition of ceria, CeO{sub 2}, to automotive exhaust-gas catalysts has been linked to greater thermal stability of the alumina support, higher precious-metal dispersion, and wider range of parameters for three-way operation. Some, if not all, of these beneficial effects are undoubtedly influenced by the dispersion of the ceria, which is typically added at the 5-10 wt% (including the monolith) level. Methods of measuring its dispersion, or particle size, are thus important tools for studying how ceria functions. Traditionally, either transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been applied to the problem of particle size determination in catalysts. In this report, the authors show how Raman spectroscopy may be used to determine the size of CeO{sub 2} particles in a way that is easier than TEM and faster than XRD. |
