The catalysts were characterized via TEM, XRD, XPS, BET, Raman, and FTIR. The oxidation performance of formaldehyde was tested. Precipitation pH affects the physicochemical properties and performance of the Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst. By controlling the precipitation pH at 10.5, the Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 catalyst with the largest specific surface area, the smallest grain size with the best formaldehyde removal rate (98.85%), abundant oxygen vacancies, and the best oxidation performance were obtained. Meanwhile, the kinetic parameters of the catalyst were experimentally investigated and the calculated activation energy was 12.6 kJ\/mol and the number of reaction steps was 1.4 and 1.2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano13142074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]],"date-time":"2023-07-17T00:41:05Z","timestamp":1689554465000},"page":"2074","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Formaldehyde Oxidation of Ce0.8Zr0.2O2 Nanocatalysts for Room Temperature: Kinetics and Effect of pH Value"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Zonglin","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environment, Yunnan Minzu University, Technology Innovation Team of Green Purification Technology for Industrial Waste Gas, Education Department of Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Environmental Functional Materials, Yunnan Province Education Department, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gaoyuan","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Energy Engineering Group Yunnan Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd., Kunming 650051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruijiu","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environment, Yunnan Minzu University, Technology Innovation Team of Green Purification Technology for Industrial Waste Gas, Education Department of Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Environmental Functional Materials, Yunnan Province Education Department, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environment, Yunnan Minzu University, Technology Innovation Team of Green Purification Technology for Industrial Waste Gas, Education Department of Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Environmental Functional Materials, Yunnan Province Education Department, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environment, Yunnan Minzu University, Technology Innovation Team of Green Purification Technology for Industrial Waste Gas, Education Department of Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Environmental Functional Materials, Yunnan Province Education Department, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tiancheng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Chemistry and Environment, Yunnan Minzu University, Technology Innovation Team of Green Purification Technology for Industrial Waste Gas, Education Department of Yunnan, Key Laboratory of Environmental Functional Materials, Yunnan Province Education Department, Kunming 650504, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1226","DOI":"10.1177\/1420326X20937462","article-title":"Analysis of winter formaldehyde and volatile organic compound pollution characteristics of residential kitchens in severe cold regions of northeast China","volume":"30","author":"Wag","year":"2020","journal-title":"Indoor Built Environ."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21632","article-title":"Outdoor air pollution and cancer: An over-view of the current evidence and public health recommendations","volume":"70","author":"Turner","year":"2020","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
