✦ Synopsis


The interaction of NO and O 2 with 5 mol.% of vanadia deposited on Ce 0.10 Zr 0.90 O 2 and Ce 0.69 Zr 0.31 O 2 supports by wet impregnation was studied by means of EPR and IR. The supports were structurally characterized by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Influence of the phase composition of the support on vanadium speciation as well as on surface architecture of the oxovanadium entities was discussed. The NO forms adsorbed on vanadium-containing systems were compared to those observed on bare CeO 2 -ZrO 2 supports. The main products appearing on the catalysts surface during the consecutive reaction with NO and O 2 were identified and their thermal evolution was observed. Changes in vanadium speciation accompanying redox processes related to NO and O 2 activation were also observed and discussed.
