Abstract
In this work, CuM/CeO2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Zr) catalysts with a low Cu content of 1 wt% were purposely designed and prepared using the co-impregnation method. The samples were characterized using various techniques (TG-DTA, XRD, N2-adsorption/desorption measurements, H2-TPR, XPS and Raman spectroscopy) and CO preferential oxidation (CO-Prox) under H2/CO2-rich conditions was performed. The results have shown that enhanced catalytic performance was achieved upon the introduction of Mn, Co and Ni, and little impact was observed with Zr doping, but Fe showed a negative effect, as compared with the Cu/CeO2 catalyst. Characterization data revealed that the M doping strongly changed the surface composition, revealing the decreased Cu/Ce ratios on the surface, which could be accounted for by the formation of more M/Cu-O-Ce solid solution, or strong Cu-M interactions. When Mn was used, the obtained CuMn/CeO2 catalyst revealed the highest concentration of the oxygen vacancies and Ce3+ ions, which could be correlated well with its superior catalytic performance. Compared with the Cu/CeO2 catalyst, the CO conversion rate increased by 24.7% at a low temperature of 90 °C over the CuMn/CeO2 catalyst. At 130 °C, the maximum CO conversion was 94.7% and the CO2 selectivity was 78.9%. Conversely, the Fe doped Cu/CeO2 catalyst demonstrated the poorest catalytic activity, which was due to the blockage effect of Fe species on Cu showing a high Fe/Cu ratio of 1.9 on the surface.

Abstract
The purification of carbon monoxide in H2-rich streams is an urgent problem for the practical application of fuel cells, and requires the development of efficient and economical catalysts for the preferential oxidation of CO (CO-PROX). In the present work, a facile solid phase synthesis method followed by an impregnation method were adopted to prepare a ternary CuCoMnOx spinel oxide, which shows superior catalytic performance with CO conversion of 90% for photothermal CO-PROX at 250 mW cm-2. The dopant of copper species leads to the incorporation of Cu ions into the CoMnOx spinel lattice forming a ternary CuCoMnOx spinel oxide. The appropriate calcination temperature (300 °C) contributes to the generation of abundant oxygen vacancies and strong synergetic Cu-Co-Mn interactions, which are conducive to the mobility of oxygen species to participate in CO oxidation reactions. On the other hand, the highest photocurrent response of CuCoMnOx-300 also promotes the photo-oxidation activity of CO due to the high carrier concentration and efficient carrier separation. In addition, the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) confirmed that doping copper species could enhance the CO adsorption capacity of the catalyst due to the generation of Cu+ species, which significantly increased the CO oxidation activity of the CuCoMnOx spinel oxide. The present work provides a promising and eco-friendly solution to remove the trace CO in H2-rich gas over CuCoMnOx ternary spinel oxide with solar light as the only energy source.
