Abstract
This study explored the promotional effect of nanometal boron (B) modification on SCR performance over Ce-Zr (CZ) mixed oxide catalysts. Experimental results indicated that the optimal B0.3CZ sample achieved over 90 % NO conversion and N2 selectivity within 240–360 °C, whereas the pristine CZ sample failed to reach complete NO conversion across the same temperature range. Characterization studies revealed that boron addition formed interactions with Ce/Zr and heightened surface acid strength. Importantly, these interactions enhanced redox capacity and increased surface ratios of Ce3+ and Oβ, thereby boosting low-medium SCR activity. Additionally, the strengthened surface acidity improved NH3 adsorption, ensuring high N2 selectivity at elevated temperatures. Overall, nonmetal boron modification might be one promising strategy for promoting catalytic performance in SCR systems.
