Abstract
A series of three-way catalysts containing palladium and rhodium were prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation of support with aqueous solution of [Pd(NH3)4](NO3)2 and Na3[Rh(NO2)6] compounds. Both pure and La-doped aluminum oxides were used as a support. The catalysts showed very close activity under stoichiometric and reductive conditions, but were different in terms of thermal stability being tested in a prompt thermal aging regime. UV–Vis and luminescence spectroscopies were found to be informative for diagnostics of rhodium and palladium concentration and state, thus giving the possibility to follow the changes taking place with active components (migration, agglomeration, bulk diffusion).
