Abstract

The La-Zr/CeO2 (LaxZr0.05Ce1-(x+0.05)O2) materials were synthesized by the green synthesis process using orange peel extract. The identification of the sample’s phase, morphology, and functional groups was done by XRD, FE-SEM, and FTIR, respectively. EDX (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) confirmed the elemental identification of materials. The synthesized samples were tested for soot oxidation under loose contact conditions. Thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) characterization was used to test the soot oxidation activity of samples by identifying the loss of weight percent of materials with soot in the temperature range of 100 to 800°C. The materials showed soot oxidation in the temperature range of 362 to 590 °C. The crystallite size of materials was found in the range of 7.5 to 8.3 nm, calculated from Scherrer’s equation. The 1% co-doping of La into Zr/CeO2 was found better for soot oxidation than the other synthesized materials.
