NO oxida)onin ion-exchange position, probably in two different sites within the MOR framework.The addition of cerium to Pd-HMOR enhances its catalytic performance for NO x CH 4 -SCR.With 1 wt.% Ce, both NO x conversion into N 2 and CH 4 selectivity towards SCR have increased. Small CeO 2 clusters interacting with palladium are likely to play a major role in this catalytic reaction. The number of such species increases up to Ce loading of ca. 2 wt.%.However, above 3 wt%, NO x conversion values decrease with Ce loading, which is attributed to the formation of bulk CeO 2 species not interacting with palladium.
