Remarkable enhancement of Fe–V–Ox composite metal oxide to gold catalyst for CO oxidation in the simulated atmosphere of CO2 laser†
Abstract
A novel Au/Fe–V–Ox/Al2O3 catalyst displayed remarkable activity and good stability for CO oxidation in the simulated atmosphere of a CO2 laser with high CO2 levels up to 60 vol% and stoichiometric or even lower O2/CO ratio. The improved surface labile lattice oxygen on the FeOx and VOx modified Al2O3 plays a crucial role in its outstanding performance for the CO oxidation reaction in an oxygen-poor atmosphere.
