This study reports the synthesis of high‐surface‐area Ce1−xGdxO2−δ (CGO) fibers that are used as catalysts for the oxidation of HCl. Special emphasis is put on the role of the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of the CGO fibers on the catalytic performance. An in‐depth physicochemical characterization of high‐surface‐area CGO was achieved by employing a multitude of dedicated spectroscopic techniques. The increasing OSC with Gd content is traced to the development of a space charge region with increased electron concentration as a result of the nano size of the CGO particles. The activity of CGO in the HCl oxidation reaction is shown to decrease with Gd concentration.
Mayenite [Ca24Al28O64]4+(2O2-) is a nanopourous compound, whose properties are strongly determined by its degree of reduction. It consists of a positively charged, subnanometer sized cage structure [Ca24Al28O64]4+ and two additional...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
