Synthesis of ZnO-CuO and ZnO-Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Materials with Three-Dimensionally Ordered Macroporous Structure and Its H<sub>2</sub>S Removal Performance at Low-Temperature

H<sub>2</sub>S is a common but hazardous impurity in syngas, biogas, or natural gas. For some advanced power generation technologies, such as integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), solid oxide fuel cells, H<sub>2</sub>S content needs to be reduced to an acceptable lev...
