4. Conclusions
- The elevated relative amounts of active surface Oα species, which can significantly improve the total catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons at low temperatures.
- The improved low-temperature reducibility of the catalysts due to the enhanced mobility of the oxygen taking part in the oxidation reactions.
- The appearance of small crystallites, which may contain an elevated amount of surface defects that enhance the catalytic performance.
