Glutamine-assisted synthesis of Cu-doped CeO2 nanowires with an improved low-temperature CO oxidation activity†
Abstract
Cu-doped CeO2 nanowires with a diameter under 10 nm have been prepared via a glutamine (GLN)-assisted green strategy. The obtained Cu-doped CeO2 nanowires exhibit outstanding performance as catalyst for CO oxidation, which can completely convert CO at the lower temperature of 90 °C.
