COPPER-MANGANESE SPINEL CATALYSTS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

Disclosed here are material formulations of use in the conversion of exhaust gases, where the formulations may include Copper (Cu), Manganese(Mn) and combinations thereof. Combinations of use may include Cu- Mn Spinels. Catalysts including these materials may be synthesized by methods including co-precipitation, co-milling, templating, and the sol-gel method, using any suitable carrier material oxide and any suitable oxygen storage material. The properties of the catalysts disclosed may vary according to the calcining temperature, where stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric Cu-Mn Spinels may form when calcining suitable formulations at suitable temperatures.
