“…DOCs commonly consist of Pt, due to its NO, CO and HC oxidation ability, supported on high surface area materials such as Al 2 O 3 . In terms of NO, CO and HC oxidation over a Pt/Al 2 O 3 DOC, the oxidation reactions are mutually inhibited by one another due to competitive adsorption on the same active sites [3,4]. Furthermore, the reaction between product NO 2 and HC/CO is catalytically more favorable than that with O 2 , which results in little to no net NO 2 made in the presence of CO and HC [4,5].…”
