This application discloses catalysts and methods of making the catalysts. In one embodiment, a catalyst comprising: a reduced precious group metal in an amount greater than about 30 wt % based on the total precious group metal weight in the catalyst, wherein the catalyst oxidizes volatile organic compounds and/or carbon monoxide at a temperature of about 150&#xb0; C. or lower, is disclosed. In another embodiment, a catalyst for oxidation of formaldehyde, methanol, formic acid, and/or carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide at a temperature of from about 20&#xb0; C. to about 45&#xb0; C. and at about atmospheric pressure, the catalyst comprising: a reduced precious group metal dispersed on a support selected from the group consisting of CeO, TiO, ZrO, AlO, SiO, and combinations thereof, is disclosed.

Catalysts for oxidation of carbon monoxide and/or volatile organic compounds

Hollow porous metal oxide microspheres are provided. The microspheres may be used as a support for a catalyst, particularly an exhaust treatment catalyst for an internal combustion engine. Also provided are methods of making the microspheres, methods of using the microspheres as catalyst supports, and methods of exhaust treatment using catalyst articles comprising the microspheres.

The present invention provides a thermal paper composite precursor comprising (a) a substrate layer; and (b) a base layer positioned on the substrate layer, the base layer comprising a binder and at least one porosity improver wherein the thermal paper composite precursor has a thermal effusivity that is at least about 2% less than the thermal effusivity of porosity improver-less thermal paper composite precursor. The thermal paper composite precursor is useful in making thermal paper composite.

An alumina-based perovskite is formed by mixing a lanthanide source with a transitional alumina to form a dual-phase composition comprising in-situ formed LnAlOdispersed in alumina. The lanthanide content of the composition ranges from 6-35 wt. % to yield a high surface area composition which is useful as a catalyst or catalyst support such as for precious metals.
