Abstract
This study presents Ce–Fe–O systems supported on -Al2O3 or SiO2 to enhance the reactivity of an oxygen-deficient CeFeO3 perovskite phase, which are promising catalysts for the production of fuels and chemicals from CO2 as feedstock. The synthesis was carried out by the glycine-nitrate solution combustion method at various fuel-to-oxidizer ratios, and with or without the addition of ammonium nitrate. The obtained composites were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, N2-physisorption, H2-TPR, and CO2-TPD to study the relationship of physicochemical properties with catalytic CO2 hydrogenation (rWGS) activity. -Al2O3 was found to be a more suitable support than SiO2 due to its ability to form a higher content of the perovskite phase, significantly reduce the size of CeFeO3 crystallites, and increase oxygen defectiveness and CO2 adsorption capacity. Combustion in the presence of silica results in the binding of most of cerium into a silicate phase, which is inactive for rWGS.
