Abstract
The reduction of bulk and supported copper oxide was investigated using Constant Rate Temperature Programmed Reduction (CR-TPR) and conventional linear heating rate TPR. Linear heating profiles indicated that the reduction of supported samples was more facile than that of the bulk oxide. CRTA results revealed that both supported and bulk oxide samples were reduced via a mechanism involving a nucleation step and/or auto-catalysis. The increased reducibility of the supported samples is attributed to a higher dispersion which provides a larger reactive surface area and a high concentration of defects at which reduction is initiated.
