Revealing the Dynamic Behavior of Active Sites on Acid-Functionalized CeO2 Catalysts for NOx Reduction

Unraveling the dynamics of the active sites upon CeO2-based catalysts in selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by ammonia (NH3-SCR) is challenging. In this work, we prepared tungsten-acidified and sulfated CeO2 catalysts and used operando spectroscopy to reveal the dynamics of acid sites...

Zusammenfassung:Unraveling the dynamics of the active sites upon CeO2-based catalysts in selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by ammonia (NH3-SCR) is challenging. In this work, we prepared tungsten-acidified and sulfated CeO2 catalysts and used operando spectroscopy to reveal the dynamics of acid sites and redox sites on catalysts during NH3-SCR reaction. We found that both Lewis and Brønsted acid sites are needed to participate in the catalytic reaction. Notably, Brønsted acid sites are the main active sites after a tungsten-acidified or sulfated treatment, and the change of Brønsted acid sites significantly affects the NOx removal. Moreover, acid functionalization promotes the cerium species cycle between Ce4+ and Ce3+ for the NOx reduction. This work is critical to deeply understanding the natural properties of active sites, and it also provides new insights into the mechanism for NH3-SCR over CeO2-based catalysts
