Low temperature propane oxidation has been achieved by Co₃O₄-based nano-array catalysts featuring low catalytic materials loading. The Ni doping into the Co₃O₄ lattice has led to enhanced reaction kinetics at low temperature by promoting the surface lattice oxygen activity. In situ DRIFTS investigation in tandem with isotopic oxygen exchange reveals that the propane oxidation proceeds via Mars-van Krevelen mechanism where surface lattice oxygen acts as the active site whereas O₂ in the reaction feed does not directly participate in CO₂ formation. The Ni doping promotes the formation of less stable carbonates on the surface to facilitate the CO₂ desorption. The thermal stability of Ni doped Co₃O₄ decreases with increased Ni concentration while catalytic activity increases. A balance between enhanced activity and compromised thermal stability shall be considered in the Ni doped Co₃O₄ nano-array catalysts for low temperature hydrocarbon oxidation. This study provides useful and timely guidance for rational catalyst design toward low temperature catalytic oxidation.
