“…6B, after NO x adsorption and N 2 purge, the catalyst surface was mainly covered by monodentate nitrate (1497-1552 cm −1 and 1282 cm −1 ), bridging nitrate (1616 and 1234 cm −1 ) and bidentate nitrate (1581 cm −1 ), and the hydroxyl consumption bands at 3724 and 3689 cm −1 due to the interaction between surface basic hydroxyls and NO x also showed up [41][42][43][44][45]. With the increasing of calcination temperature, the total adsorption amount of the three kinds of nitrate species showed obvious decrease, which is in well accordance with the NO x -TPD results.…”
