A series of Au/CeO2 catalysts modified by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by deposition-precipitation method.Their catalytic activity and selectivity were investigated by ethanol partial oxidation reaction.XRD
TPR and BET techniques were carried out to characterize the physical and chemical properties of catalysts.The results showed that the addition of CNTs could increase the surface areas and pore volume of Au/CeO2catalyst.Oxygen adsorption capacity of Au/CNTs-CeO2 catalysts
as well as selectivity in hydrogen increased with the increase of CNTs content.Selectivity in hydrogen over Au/CNTs-CeO2 catalysts reached to maximum of 43% when the amount of CNTs is in the range of 6%—10%.Further increasing CNTs content
however
could not increase the selectivity in hydrogen.On the whole
the optimum content of CNTs on Au/CNTs-CeO2 catalysts is about 10%.It was noteworthy that adding carbon nanotubes could effectively inhibit the production of CO.
