Abstract:A series of Mn-Co/TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation method and evaluated for the oxidation of NO to NO 2 . The effects of Co amounts and calcination temperature on NO oxidation were investigated in detail. The catalytic oxidation ability in the temperature range of 403-473 K was obviously improved by doping cobalt into Mn/TiO 2 . These samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR). The results indicated that the formation of dispersed Co 3 O 4¨C oMnO 3 mixed oxides through synergistic interaction between Mn-O and Co-O was directly responsible for the enhanced activities towards NO oxidation at low temperatures. Doping of Co enhanced Mn 4+ formation and increased chemical adsorbed oxygen amounts, which also accelerated NO oxidation.
