Abstract

Copper catalysts supported on alumina-doped zirconia were prepared by sol-gel processing followed by supercritical drying or aging in the mother solution at 100°C. After drying and calcination, the catalyst supports were impregnated with a copper(II) nitrate aqueous solution by the incipient wetness method to achieve a Cu loading of about 2%. The samples showed ∼90% NO conversion at 350-400°C. The catalytic performance of these systems appears to be determined by the degree of clustering of copper cations as probed by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO.
