1-wt% Pd-CeO2 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation of Pd nanoparticles with ceria (Pd@CeO2-CP), by a microemulsion procedure (Pd@CeO2-ME), and by normal impregnation of Pd salts (Pd/CeO2-IMP) in order to test the concept that Pd-CeO2 catalysts could be more stable for the water-gas-shift (WGS) reaction when the Pd is embedded in CeO2. Initial WGS rates measured at 250 °C were similar for the Pd@CeO2-CP and Pd/CeO2-IMP, indicating that Pd was accessible for gas-phase reactions on both catalysts. Pd@CeO2-CP exhibited better stability for WGS than did Pd/CeO2-IMP but exposure to the WGS environment at 400 °C still caused a decrease in activity. Physical characterization of the Pd@CeO2-ME implied that the core-shell nanoparticles underwent condensation that resulted in a low surface area and poor Pd accessibility. However, the Pd@CeO2-ME sample exhibited good stability for WGS, suggesting that more effective encapsulation of Pd can limit the sintering of the metal phase, thus resulting in stable catalysts under high temperature reaction conditions.

钯盐普通浸渍法(Pd/ -IMP)制备了 1 wt% Pd- 催化剂,以测试当 Pd 嵌入 时 Pd- 催化剂在
水气变换(WGS)反应中更稳定的概念。Pd@ -CP 和 Pd/ -IMP 在 250 °C 时测得的 WGS 初始速率相似,这表明这两种催化剂上的
钯都可用于气相反应。与 Pd/ -IMP 相比,Pd@ -CP 对 WGS 的稳定性更好,但暴露在 400 °C 的 WGS 环境中仍会导致活性下降。Pd@ -ME 的物理特性表明,核壳纳米粒子发生了缩聚,导致表面积较低,
