More specifically, we optimized the titration time required to obtain highly active CeO2-supported catalysts for the WGS reaction. As such, Cu was employed as the active metal coupled with the CeO2 support. Notably, the CeO2-0 supported Cu catalyst (where the precipitant was immediately injected into a cerium nitrate solution) exhibited the highest CO conversion at a gas hourly space velocity of 36,050 h(-1). This high catalytic activity of the Cu/CeO2-0 catalyst was mainly due to its high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, enhanced Cu dispersion, high number of oxygen vacancies, and enhanced reducibility.}, issn = {09205861}, doi = {10.1016/j.cattod.2017.10.007}, author = {Na, Hyun-Suk and Shim, Jae-Oh and Jang, Won-Jun and Jeon, Kyung-Won and Kim, Hak-Min and Lee, Yeol-Lim and Lee, Da-We and Yoo, Seong-Yeun and Bae, Jong Wook and Rode, Chandrashekhar V. and Roh, Hyun-Seog} }
