“…Among the numerous ceria-based catalysts, MnO x -CeO 2 catalysts have been found to be remarkably active for wet oxidation of phenol [2], SCR of NO with NH 3 [3], and catalytic NO x sorption [4] as well as oxidation of ethanol [5], formaldehyde [6], toluene [7], o-xylene [8], and VOC [9]. The MnO x -CeO 2 solid solutions have been prepared by various methods, i.e., co-precipitation [2-4, 6, 8, 10], citric acid sol-gel [5][6][7]10], wet-impregnation [10], and solution combustion [9,11] methods. For example, Chen et al [2] prepared Mn-Ce-O composites with various atomic ratios by co-precipitation methods and showed on the basis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results that Mn ions are incorporated in the fluorite structure of ceria.…”
