Physicochemical properties of nanostructured Pd/lanthanide-doped ceria spheres with high catalytic activity for CH4 combustion

In this work, nanostructured Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ (GDC) and Ce0.9Pr0.1O2-δ (PrDC) spheres previously obtained by microwave assisted hydrothermal homogeneous co-precipitation were impregnated with 1 wt% Pd by the incipient wetness impregnation by an aqueous Pd2+ solution. Their properties were characterize...
