The CoÀ Mn mixed metal oxide was firstly fabricated using Co(NO 3) 2 , KMnO 4 and K 2 CO 3. The tuned catalysts, donated as xM-Co 3 Mn 1 (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1), were synthesized by selective dissolve method (SD). The physicochemical properties induced by different acid concentrations on catalysts were explored via a series of characterization techniques. Compared with the original material, the catalysts treated by SD had higher advantages in enriching crystal defects, surface Co 2 + and adsorbed oxygen species as well as increasing the specific surface areas (SSA). Among acid-treated catalysts, 0.05 M-Co 3 Mn 1 exhibited the best catalytic activity, while the T 50 and T 90 were 71 and 117°C lower than the original one. Meanwhile, 0.05 M-Co 3 Mn 1 showed excellent stability and great regeneration ability.
