Precious metal catalysts with superior low-temperature activity and excellent thermal stability are highly needed in environmental catalysis field. In this study, a novel two-step incipient wetness impregnation (T-IWI) method was developed for the fabrication of a unique and highly stable CeO₂/Al₂O₃ support (CA-T). Pd anchored on CA-T exhibited a much higher low-temperature catalytic activity and superior thermal stability in carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) oxidations, compared to Pd anchored on conventional CeO₂/Al₂O₃ (CA), which was prepared by a one-step IWI method. After aging treatment at 800 °C, the CO oxidation rate on Pd/CA-T (1.69 mmol/(g_Pd s)) at 120 °C was 4.1 and 84.5 times of those on Pd/CA (0.41 mmol/(g_Pd s)) and Pd/Al₂O₃ (0.02 mmol/(g_Pd s)), respectively. It was revealed that the CA-T support with well-controlled small CeO₂ particles (ca. 12 nm) possessed abundant defects for Pd anchoring, which created rich Pd-CeO₂ interfaces with strengthened interaction between Pd and CeO₂ where oxygen could be efficiently activated. This resulted in the significantly improved oxidation activity and thermal stability of Pd/CA-T catalysts. The T-IWI method developed herein can be applied as a universal approach to prepare highly stable metal oxide-alumina-based supports, which have broad application in environmental catalyst design, especially for automobile exhaust aftertreatment.
