Rod and ellipsoid shaped CeO2nanostructures were prepared using self-assemblies of amine surfactants as templates through the decomposition of cerium carbonate hydroxide. The morphologies of the products were greatly influenced by amine surfactants with different alkyl chain lengths. Different shaped CeO2nanostructures supported CuO (CuO/CeO2) catalysts were prepared by a conventional impregnation method. CuO/CeO2nanorods showed high reducibility at lower temperature, larger amount of oxygen species from H2-TPR and possessed larger external surface area and mesopore volume from N2adsorption as compared with CuO/CeO2with uncontrolled morphology. These catalysts showed effective soot combustion at lower temperature under tight contact condition using carbon black (CB) as a model of soot particle, as compared with CuO/CeO2with uncontrolled morphology. Larger external surface area and mesopore volume of CuO/CeO2catalysts contributed to the improved physical contact condition between CeO2catalysts and aggregated CBs. Surface reducibility and the improved physical contact condition affected greatly their catalytic activity for soot combustion.
