CeO 2 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 catalysts were prepared by three methods: a single step sol-gel (SG), impregnation (IM) and coprecipitation (CP) method. These catalysts were investigated for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 . The results indicate that the catalyst prepared by the SG method possessed the widest temperature window (about 250-475°C), best SCR activity below 450°C and resistance against 10% H 2 O and 1000 ppm SO 2 at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 90,000 h -1 . According to the results of BET, XRD, XPS, H 2 -TPR and TEM, it is found that larger BET surface area, more highly dispersed active species of Ce and Mo, presence of more Ce 3+ and chemisorbed oxygen, synergistic effect among ceria, molybdenum and titania, and better redox ability can contribute to the better deNO x performance of the CeO 2 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 catalyst prepared by the SG method, compared with those by the IM and CP methods.
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.
