Co3O4 is a promising catalyst for many chemical reactions, that have potential to be applied for efficient energy storage. Latest studies proved that Ce modification significantly improves Co3O4 catalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) [2] [3] and ammonium perchlorate decomposition [4]. Other studies discovered that Ce modification also improves Co3O4 thermal stability [4], [5] and chemical stability [6]. In order to obtain better understanding of the Ce modification effect, we are going to have a close look at the processes inside the combined CeOx/Co3O4 structure, their dependence on Ce amount and their reaction to high temperature treatment. This lecture is extending my lecture from last year but the presented data will have zero overlap with the data I presented last year.
