CuO-CeO₂ based materials have been recognized as promising substitutes for precious metal catalysts in emission control field due to their superior redox property and low cost. In this work, by optimizing the deposition process of CeO₂ and CuO onto γ-Al₂O₃, highly dispersed CuO clusters on unique CeO₂-Al₂O₃ support with small CeO₂ particles (7Cu-Ce/CeAl) were successfully constructed for efficient NO reduction by CO, which exhibited much higher NO removal efficiency and N₂ selectivity than CuO catalysts supported on γ-Al₂O₃ (7Cu/Al) and conventional CeO₂-Al₂O₃ support (7Cu/CeAl). Moreover, H₂O showed limited inhibition effect on the catalytic performance of 7Cu-Ce/CeAl catalyst. With the help of Raman spectra, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, etc., it was clearly revealed that the abundant Cu⁺/Ce³⁺ paired sites with surface synergetic oxygen vacancies (SSOV) on 7Cu-Ce/CeAl catalyst could effectively facilitate the adsorption and activation of CO and NO, thus significantly enhancing the NO removal efficiency.
