“… 26 For Cu/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 and CuCe/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 catalysts, there are several diffraction peaks ascribed to CuO crystal structure locate at 32.5°, 35.6°, 38.7°, 48.8°, 53.4°, 58.2°, 61.6°, 66.3°, 68.0°, 72.3°, and 75.2° (PDF# 89-2529). 27 Furthermore, the peak intensity of CuCe/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 is weaker than that of Ce/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 and Cu/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 . Thus, it can be concluded that there is strong interaction between CeO 2 and CuO species, and the Cu and Ce active components are dispersed well on the CuCe/TiO 2 –ZrO 2 catalyst surface.…”
