Summary: The combination of structural characterization at atomic resolution, chemical data, and theoretical insights has revealed the unique nanostructures which develop in ceria supported on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) after being submitted to high-temperature reducing treatments. The results show that just a small ceria loading is needed for creating a supported Zr-rich pyrochlore (111) nanostructure, resembling the structure of single cerium atom catalysts. The specific atomic arrangement of this nanostructure allows to explain the improvement of the reducibility at low temperature. The reduction mechanism can be extrapolated to ceria-zirconia mixed oxides with pyrochlore-like cationic ordering, exposing Zr-rich (111) surfaces. The results gathered here provide key information to understand the redox behavior of these types of systems, which may contribute to improving the design of new ceria-zirconia based materials, with lower content of the lanthanide element, nearly 100% cerium atom utilization, and applications in environmental catalysis. |
