Our group synthesized a series of CeO2-supported metal oxides catalysts, and investigated the removal performance of CO from the off-gas stream of propane oxidation process. Among them, CuO/CeO2 exhibited the highest surface oxygen vacancy concentration, good low-temperature reduction behavior and the highest adsorption capacity of CO, thus resulting in advance CO removal activity.
