| Abstract | Porous and homogeneous cryogels of binary ceria-alumina (CA) and ternary ceria-zirconia-alumina (CZA) were prepared from cerium nitrate, zirconium (IV) dinitrate oxide hydrate, and aluminium sec-butoxide by a one-pot sol–gel technique in an aqueous system and subsequent freeze drying, and effect of ethylene glycol (EG) used for chelation of cerium ions on structure, thermal stability, reducibility, oxygen storage capacity, and catalytic carbon monoxide and methane oxidation activities of the catalysts was investigated. EG did not significantly affect surface area, pore volume, mean pore size, and surface morphology of the catalysts after calcination and subsequent oxidative/reductive atmosphere heating at 900 °C. Whereas use of EG resulted in much finer particles of cerium oxides and ceria-zirconia solid solution for CA and CZA, respectively, distributed throughout alumina with high dispersion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra suggested that while a cubic CeO$_{2}$ phase was observed for CA after the oxidative heating regardless of whether or not EG was employed, finely-divided cerium oxides or crystalline CeAlO$_{3}$ were respectively obtained after the reductive heating depending on whether EG was respectively used or not used. As for CZA, while a pseudo-cubic t″ phase was seen after the reductive heating regardless of whether EG was used or not, mixed phases of pseudo-cubic t″ and cubic or a cubic one were respectively observed after the oxidative heating depending on whether EG was respectively employed or not employed. The solid solubility of zirconia in ceria was improved by EG for CZA. The oxygen storage capacity and catalytic CH$_{4}$ and CO oxidation activities were also enhanced by employing EG for both catalysts, which was ascribed fundamentally to the finer particles of cerium oxides and ceria-zirconia solid solution for CA and CZA, respectively, although CO oxidation on CA was unimproved by EG after the reductive heating. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
