Preparation of hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide for catalytic total oxidation of VOCs

Hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide with mesoporous structure was firstly prepared by a simple precipitation 2 -TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Compared with Mn-Ce composite oxide synthesized through a traditional method (Na 2 CO 3 route), the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide exhibited higher catalytic activity in the complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). By means of testing, the data revealed that the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide possessed superior physiochemical properties such as good low-temperature reducibility, high manganese oxidation state and rich adsorbed surface oxygen species which resulted in the enhancement of catalytic abilities
