Abstract

Au promoted Pd/TiO2 catalysts with different Pd loading were investigated for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by hydrogen (H2-SCR). The results showed that 1%Pd-0.5%Au/TiO2 catalyst exhibited the highest NOx conversion and N2 selectivity, as well as a wide activity temperature window. Moreover, the 1%Pd-0.5%Au/TiO2 catalyst offered remarkable resistance to high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV). XRD, XPS and TEM results illustrated that the excellent H2-SCR performance of 1%Pd-0.5%Au/TiO2 catalyst was closely related to the formed PdAu alloy and the higher dispersion of active sites compared with 1%Pd/TiO2. In-situ DRIFTS results revealed that more and new adsorbed nitrogen oxides species, as well as more adsorbed NH3 and NH4+ active species generated over 1%Pd-0.5%Au/TiO2 catalyst, thus accelerating the ability to active H2 atom and the subsequent reaction with adsorbed nitrogen oxides species.
