Abstract
Passive NOx adsorbers (PNA) have been developed to adsorb NOx from low-temperature (less than 200°C) diesel exhaust streams containing water vapor. When H2O is present during NOx adsorption, H2O adsorbs on PNA, and this inhibits NOx adsorption. However, this study shows H2O-assisted NOx adsorption on Pd/CHA. This phenomenon was observed in Pd/CHA that had been hydrothermally aged at 600℃ and 750℃. Also, the H2O-assisted mechanism results from the co-adsorption of NO and H2O under wet conditions. In situ FT-IR spectroscopy and FT-EXAFS analysis reveal that hydration of Pd cations enhances NOx adsorption under wet conditions and induces redispersion of Pd cations from PdOx. This phenomenon increases the number of Pd cations, which are NOx adsorption sites, thereby increasing NOx adsorption. These findings establish a new design of PNA catalysts applicable to H2O-rich exhaust gases.
