TiO2-CeO2, TiO2-CuO and TiO2-CeO2-CuO catalysts as thin films were deposited on VUKOPOR\u00aeA ceramic foam using a reverse micelles-controlled sol-gel method, dip-coating and calcination. Three prepared catalytic foams were investigated via light-off tests in methanol and dichloromethane oxidation in the temperature range of 45\u2013400 \u00b0C and 100\u2013500 \u00b0C, respectively, at GHSV of 11, 600 h\u22121, which fits to semi-pilot\/industrial conditions. TiO2-CuO@VUKOPOR\u00aeA foam showed the best catalytic activity and CO2 yield in methanol oxidation due to its low weak Lewis acidity, high weak basicity and easily reducible CuO species and proved good catalytic stability within 20 h test. TiO2-CeO2-CuO@VUKOPOR\u00aeA foam was the best in dichloromethane oxidation. Despite of its lower catalytic activity compared to TiO2-CeO2@VUKOPOR\u00aeA foam, its highly-reducible -O-Cu-Ce-O- active surface sites led to the highest CO2 yield and the highest weak Lewis acidity contributed to the highest HCl yield. This foam also showed the lowest amount of chlorine deposits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano13071148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]],"date-time":"2023-03-24T02:34:54Z","timestamp":1679625294000},"page":"1148","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Oxidation of Methanol and Dichloromethane on TiO2-CeO2-CuO, TiO2-CeO2 and TiO2-CuO@VUKOPOR\u00aeA Ceramic Foams"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8816-0070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lenka","family":"Mat\u011bjov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environmental Technology, CEET, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, 17.
