Abstract
Mn-based catalysts are promising candidates for eliminating harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) via selective catalytic reduction with ammonia (NH3–SCR) due to their inherent strong redox abilities. However, poor water tolerance and low N2 selectivity are still the main limitations for practical applications. Herein, we succeeded in preparing an active catalyst for NH3–SCR with improved water tolerance and N2 selectivity based on protecting MnOx with a secondary growth of a hydrophobic silicalite-1. This protection suppressed catalyst deactivation by water adsorption. Interestingly, impregnating MnOx on MesoTS-1 followed by silicalite-1 protection allowed for a higher dispersion of MnOx species, thus increasing the concentration of acid sites. Consequently, the level of N2O formation is decreased. These improvements resulted in a broader operating temperature of NOx conversion and a modification of the NH3–SCR mechanism. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy analysis revealed that unprotected Mn/MesoTS-1 mainly followed the Eley–Rideal mechanism, while Mn/MesoTS-1@S1 followed both Langmuir–Hinshelwood and Eley–Rideal mechanisms.
