CeO is an important rare earth (RE) oxide and has served as a typical oxygen storage material in practical applications. In the present study, the oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of CeO was enhanced by doping with other rare earth ions (RE, RE = Yb, Y, Sm and La). A series of Undoped and RE-doped CeO with different doping levels were synthesized using a solvothermal method following a subsequent calcination process, in which just Ce(NO)∙6HO, RE(NO)∙nHO, ethylene glycol and water were used as raw materials. Surprisingly, the Undoped CeO was proved to be a porous material with a multilayered special morphology without any additional templates in this work. The lattice parameters of CeO were refined by the least-squares method with highly pure NaCl as the internal standard for peak position calibrations, and the solubility limits of RE ions into CeO were determined; the amounts of reducible-reoxidizable Ce ions were estimated by fitting the Ce 3d core-levels XPS spectra; the non-stoichiometric oxygen vacancy () defects of CeO were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by O 1s XPS fitting and Raman scattering; and the OSC was quantified by the amount of H consumption per gram of CeO based on hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H-TPR) measurements. The maximum [OSC] of CeO appeared at 5 mol.% Yb-, 4 mol.% Y-, 4 mol.% Sm- and 7 mol.% La-doping with the values of 0.444, 0.387, 0.352 and 0.380 mmol H/g by an increase of 93.04, 68.26, 53.04 and 65.22%. Moreover, the dominant factor for promoting the OSC of RE-doped CeO was analyzed.
CeO是一种重要的稀土(RE)氧化物,在实际应用中作为典型的储氧材料。在本研究中,通过掺杂其他稀土离子(RE,RE = Yb、Y、Sm和La)提高了CeO的储氧能力(OSC)。采用溶剂热法并随后进行煅烧工艺,合成了一系列不同掺杂水平的未掺杂和RE掺杂的CeO,其中仅使用Ce(NO)∙6HO、RE(NO)∙nHO、乙二醇和水作为原料。令人惊讶的是,在本工作中,未掺杂的CeO被证明是一种具有多层特殊形态的多孔材料,无需任何额外的模板。以高纯NaCl作为峰位校准的内标,通过最小二乘法对CeO的晶格参数进行了精修,并确定了RE离子在CeO中的溶解度极限;通过拟合Ce 3d芯能级XPS光谱估计了可还原-再氧化Ce离子的量;通过O 1s XPS拟合和拉曼散射对CeO的非化学计量氧空位()缺陷进行了定性和定量分析;并基于氢程序升温还原(H-TPR)测量,通过每克CeO消耗的H量对OSC进行了量化。CeO的最大[OSC]出现在5 mol.% Yb-、4 mol.% Y-、4 mol.% Sm-和7 mol.% La-掺杂时,其值分别为0.444、0.387、0.352和0.380 mmol H/g,分别增加了93.04%、68.26%、53.04%和65.22%。此外,还分析了促进RE掺杂CeO的OSC的主要因素。
