Abstract The plasma effect of Cu0.05Ce0.95-CA catalyst on surface structure and species was characterized by TPO, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, XRD, BET and XPS. The results showed that the catalytic soot combustion activity is enhanced in plasma region. It displayed the best catalytic activity by 9kV voltage. The ignition temperature is 243.1℃ and the maximum oxidation temperature is 302.8℃, decreased by 65.1℃ and 92.7℃ by no plasma. Larger specific surface area and smaller crystallite size of Cu0.05Ce0.95-CA catalyst is emerged by plasma. With the help of plasma, the dispersion of CuO is increased. Meanwhile more Cu2+ enter into the lattice of CeO2 and more mixed oxides Cuy2+Ce1-y4+O2-y2-□y are formed on the surface of Cu0.05Ce0.95-CA catalyst . More reactive oxygen species were formed and its fluxion, movement and transmission can promote the growth of oxygen vacancies circularly, which can promote the catalytic soot combustion activity persistently.
