Abstract
A series of mesoporous Sn/Cr-MnOx nanomarerials with highly ordered three-dimensional channels were successfully prepared by the “nanocasting” method, which were used as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts to remove NOx with NH3 in a low-temperature range (150–300°C). All of the mesoporous catalysts exhibited highly ordered mesoporous structure and high surface areas, and the SnOx nanoparticles were well dispersed in the mesoporous channels. Among all the Sn/Cr-MnOx samples, the 0.16-Sn/Cr (0.1)-MnO2 sample showed the best activity, giving the near 100% NOx conversion at 150–250°C. From the XPS results, it can be found that doped Sn element significantly increased the proportion of Cr3+/Cr2+ and Mn3+/Mn4+ that may improve the N2 selectivity. Moreover, higher content of adsorbed oxygen and improved surface reducibility were also observed. In addition, Sn modified catalysts showed excellent SO2 resistance.
