Room-Temperature Nitrophenol Reduction over Ag–CeO<sub>2</sub> Catalysts: The Role of Catalyst Preparation Method

Ag–CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts (20 mol % Ag) were synthesized using different techniques (co-precipitation, impregnation, and impregnation of pre-reduced ceria), characterized by XRD, N<sub>2</sub> sorption, TEM, H<sub>2</sub>-TPR methods, and probed in room-tempera...

description Ag–CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts (20 mol % Ag) were synthesized using different techniques (co-precipitation, impregnation, and impregnation of pre-reduced ceria), characterized by XRD, N<sub>2</sub> sorption, TEM, H<sub>2</sub>-TPR methods, and probed in room-temperature p-nitrophenol reduction into p-aminophenol in aqueous solution at atmospheric pressure. The catalyst preparation method was found to determine the textural characteristics, the oxidation state and distribution of silver and, hence, the catalytic activity in the p-nitrophenol reduction. The impregnation technique was the most favorable for the formation over the ceria surface of highly dispersed silver species that are active in the p-nitrophenol reduction (the first-order rate constant k = 0.656 min<sup>−1</sup>).
