“…The Mn-Ce oxides show excellent catalytic performance in the oxidation of hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, CO [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] and selective catalytic oxidation of NO x with NH 3 [ 5 , 21 ]. Recently, the number of works devoted to Mn-Ce oxide catalysts has sharply increased [ 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]; special attention is paid to improving the synthesis methods leading to the formation of active, highly dispersed and nanostructured compounds. For the preparation of MnO x -CeO 2 catalysts, methods such as combustion [ 11 ], coprecipitation [ 19 , 28 , 29 ], sol–gel [ 19 , 25 ], and template synthesis [ 14 ] are used.…”
