Abstract

To elucidate the reaction mechanism of NO–C3H6–CO–O2 over NiFe2O4, we investigated the dynamics of the adsorbed and gaseous species during the reaction using operando Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The NO reduction activity dependent on the C3H6 and CO concentrations suggested that NO is reduced by C3H6 under three-way catalytic conditions. From FTIR measurements and kinetic analysis, it was clarified that the acetate species reacted with NO–O2 to form N2 via NCO, and that the rate-limiting step of NO reduction was the reaction between CH3COO– and NO–O2. The NO reduction mechanism of the three-way catalyst on NiFe2O4 is different to that on platinum-group metal catalysts, on which NO reduction proceeds through N–O cleavage.
