Preparation and characterization of Ce/Zr mixed oxides and their use as catalysts for the direct oxidation of dry CH4

Solid oxide fuel cells have a promissory future in the direct combustion of fuels but, their main drawbacks are the high operation temperature and the rapid performance degradation due to carbon deposition in the anode. The development of ceria-based anodes with good electronic conductivity at lower...
