Cotton was utilized as biotemplate to create micro-sized catalytic fibers. First, pure CeO2 and Co3O4 fibers were synthesized, followed by wet impregnation of active elements (Mn, Co, Ce) in different quantities. The catalysts were tested in the reactions of soot combustion (TPO) and benzene total oxidation.
