Proper selection of a noninteracting catalyst carrier is important to prevent thermal degradation. The N1AI2O4 coating appears to impart catalytic stability to the Pd-Ni catalyst system compared to AI2O3-SÍO2.4. The optimum reaction conditions for NO reduction over Pd-Ni and Pd-Ru occur at air-to-fuel ratios just slightly rich of stoichiometry, an operating region also characterized by maximum power output and nearly minimum fuel consumption in the IC engine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
