L. Oliviero et al., Role of the metal-support interface in the total oxidation of carboxylic acids over Ru/CeO2 catalysts, CATAL LETT, 60(1-2), 1999, pp. 15-19
Depending on the support morphology and the metal/support contact, Ru/CeO2
catalysts show very different behavior in catalytic wet air oxidation of ac
rylic, succinic and acetic acids. TEM and electron diffraction studies favo
r the hypothesis of a specific role of ceria in oxygen transfer from gas ph
ase to metal sites.
