“…The three-component catalyst Pt-Pd-Rh has been used widely as ac ommercial catalysti na utomotive exhaustg as after-treatment as it exhibits ah igh catalytic activity for automobile ex-haust gas (NO x ,C O, and hydrocarbons). [1,2] Nevertheless, there are still some inevitable disadvantages that need to be overcome,s uch as the requirement of ah igh temperature (300-400 8C) to catalyze the exhaust gas at nearly 100 %c onversion, ai nhomogeneous distribution of active species, and an increasingly high cost. In this regard, it is extremelyu rgent to develop new nanocatalystsw ith ah igh catalytic activity.T he catalytic oxidation of CO is at ypical models ystemu sed to understandh eterogeneous catalysis, therefore, as eries of transition metal (e.g.,M n, Co, Cu, Fe, Ce) oxidesa nd their mixtures have been investigated extensively for CO oxidation.…”
