Hydrothermal synthesis of Na-SSZ-13 using a low concentration of the structure-directing agent N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantanimonium hydroxide and functionalization of the SSZ-13 framework through the introduction of Cu and Fe via ion exchange have been carried out.

The role of hydrogen in H 2 -assisted HC-SCR of NO x over Ag-Al 2 O 3 is investigated by XPS and in situ DRIFT spectroscopy. Hydrogen does not reduce the surface silver species to metallic silver, however direct reduction of surface nitrates by hydrogen is observed. It is proposed that one important role of hydrogen is the removal of nitrates from the Ag-Al 2 O 3 surface.
