Abstract: Aseries of SnO2-based solid solutions TM-SnO2 (TM=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) with mesoporous structures were prepared by CTAB-assisted coprecipitation method for catalytic combustion of diesel soot particulates. The solid solutions were characterized by XRD, SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectrum, H2-TPR and FTIR technologies. Their catalytic activity for soot combustion was investigated by temperature programmed oxidation. Doping the SnO2 with small amounts of transition metals could form a stable solid solution with rutile structure. After calcination at 800 ℃ for 6 h, the SnO2-based solid solutions displayed nanospheres with diameter of 20—30 nm and relatively large surface areas of 20—40 m2·g-1, while transition metal doping increased the pore size. A strong interaction between Sn and transition metals occurred in the solid solution, improving the mobility of the surface oxygen and redox properties. The improved oxygen mobility might be derived from the structure defects induced by transition metals doping, which could be helpful in oxidation reactions. In comparison with uncatalyzed reactions, the SnO2 catalyst exhibited moderate catalytic activity for soot combustion, while the SnO2-based solid solutions doped with transition metals displayed enhanced activity and selectivity, together with increased soot combustion rates. The improved catalytic performance may be related to their enhanced the reducibility, increased surface oxygen vacancies and improved pore structure. The MnSn catalyst possessed the highest performance with the ignition temperature (T10) of 320 ℃, the semi-conversion temperature (T50) of 375 ℃, and the selectivity to CO2 formation of above 96%. Furthermore, the presence of NO in the reaction atmosphere promoted soot combustion over SnO2-based solid solutions, which follows the NO2-assisted mechanism.
