“…It is widely reported that transition metal oxides could catalyze the NO + CO reaction efficiently. In fact, Cu-, [14][15][16][17][18][19] Co-, [20][21][22] Fe-, 13 Ni-, 23 and Mn-based 14,24 oxides, as either loaded or non-loaded catalysts, exhibit excellent CO-deNO efficiency at temperatures between 150 and 300 C. Furthermore, CeO 2 , SnO 2 , or ZrO 2 mixed with transition metals and carbon supported metal catalysts also promote the efficient reaction of CO with NO. 17,[25][26][27] As for the mechanism of the NO + CO reaction, it is established that at relatively low temperatures, NO coordinates with the metal cation and generates nitrites.…”
