Abstract: The effect of support treatment with HNO₃ on the performance of the self-made catalysts combined with heat storage function was studied. The catalysts were characterized by DSC and XRD techniques，and the specific surface area were calculated using BET theoretical models according to their nitrogen adsorption isotherms. Besides，the application characteristics of the catalysts combined with heat storage function in reverse flow reactor was investigated. It was found that the heat storage function of the catalysts was almost unaffected with no change in crystalline phase after acid treatment. While the catalytic activity of the catalysts was obviously enhanced after acid treatment，toluene conversion reached to 97.42% at 400 ℃ at steady-state，which was increased by about 5% as compared to the catalyst without acid treatment. The catalysts with acid treatment also showed good heat storage function in reverse flow reactor applications.
