Abstract
Selective catalytic reduction of NOx with CO (CO-SCR) is a process that purifies both NO and CO pollutants through a catalytic reaction. Specifically, the cleavage of NO on the catalyst surface is crucial for promoting the reaction. During the reaction, the presence of oxygen vacancies can extract oxygen from NO, thereby facilitating the cleavage of NO on the catalyst surface. Thus, the formation of oxygen vacancies is key to accelerating the CO-SCR reaction, with different types of oxygen vacancies being more conducive to their generation. In this study, Rh/CeCuOx catalysts were synthesized using the co-crystallization and impregnation methods, and asymmetric oxygen vacancies were induced through hydrogen thermal treatment. This structural modification was aimed at regulating the behavior of NO on the catalyst surface. The Rh/Ce0.95Cu0.05Ox-H2 catalyst exhibited the best performance in CO-SCR, achieving above 90% NO conversion at 162 °C. Various characterization techniques showed that the H2 treatment effectively reduced some of the CuO and Rh2O3, creating asymmetric oxygen vacancies that accelerated the cleavage of NO on the catalyst surface, rather than forming difficult-to-decompose nitrates. This study offers a novel approach to constructing oxygen vacancies in new CO-SCR catalysts.
一氧化氮与一氧化碳的选择性催化还原(CO-SCR)是一种通过催化反应同时净化一氧化氮和一氧化碳污染物的工艺。具体来说,催化剂表面 NO 的裂解是促进反应的关键。在反应过程中,氧空位的存在可以从 NO 中提取氧气,从而促进催化剂表面 NO 的裂解。因此,氧空位的形成是加速 CO-SCR 反应的关键,不同类型的氧空位更有利于其生成。本研究采用共晶法和浸渍法合成了 Rh/CeCuOx 催化剂,并通过氢热处理诱导了不对称氧空位。这种结构改性旨在调节催化剂表面 NO 的行为。Rh/Ce0.95Cu0.05Ox-H2 催化剂在 CO-SCR 中表现出了最佳性能,在 162 °C 时实现了 90% 以上的 NO 转化率。各种表征技术表明,H2 处理有效地还原了部分 CuO 和 Rh2O3,产生了不对称氧空位,加速了催化剂表面 NO 的裂解,而不是形成难以分解的硝酸盐。这项研究为在新型 CO-SCR 催化剂中构建氧空位提供了一种新方法。
