Understanding morphology-dependent CuO -CeO2 interactions from the very beginning

Elucidation of the CuOx-CeO2 interactions is of great interest and importance in understanding complex CuOx-CeO2 interfacial catalysis in various reactions. In the present work, we have investigated structures and catalytic activity in CO oxidation of CuOx species on CeO2 rods, cubes and polyhedra predominantly exposing {110}+{100}, {100} and {111} facets by the incipient wetness impregnation method with the lowest Cu loading of 0.025%.
