Abstract
Pd-based zeolite materials have gained significant attention as passive NOx adsorbers (PNAs) for diesel-engine cold-start NOx mitigation due to their ability to store NOx at low temperatures. Pd/ZSM-5 is a promising PNA candidate, however, the NO adsorption mechanism over this material is not well understood. This study combines flow reactor experiments and surface spectroscopy to investigate NO adsorption under a variety of conditions. The state of hydration of the Pd cations played an important role in determining the impact of H2O and CO concentration on the PNA performance. Below 150 °C, the inhibition effect of H2O on NO adsorption was mitigated by CO. Due to dehydration, neither H2O nor CO had an impact on NO uptake at 150 °C, where maximum NO storage capacity of the PNA was also observed. The observed gas composition and temperature effects on NO adsorption and formation of surface intermediates ultimately inform a proposed mechanism.
