3D ordered meso-macroporous (3DOMM) Ce0.2Zr0.8O2 (CZO) was successfully synthesized by a combined method of evaporation-induced interfacial self-assembly (EISA) and colloidal crystal templates (CCT). The multifunctional catalysts of spinel-type PdxCo3–xO4 nanoparticles (NPs) supported on 3DOMM CZO were fabricated by a gas bubbling assisted coprecipitation (GBCP) method. The relationship between nanostructure (hierarchical pore and spinel-type active phase) and activity during catalytic soot oxidation was studied by the techniques of SEM, TEM, XPS, H2-TPR, NO oxidation, soot-TPO, and so on. The 3DOMM structure with a larger surface area and total pore volume increases the amount of supported active sites and enhances the contact efficiency between reactants (soot, O2, and NO) and catalysts. Spinel-type PdxCo3–xO4 (AB2O4) binary active sites by substitution for Co2+ (A site) with Pd2+ cations are beneficial for improving activation efficiency for gaseous reactants (NO and O2). The novel nanocatalysts of 3DO...
