High surface area Pt/K/Al 2 O 3 catalysts were prepared with a 2-nozzle flame spray method resulting in Pt clusters on c-Al 2 O 3 and amorphous K storage material as evidenced by Raman spectroscopy. The powders had a high NO x storage capacity and were regenerated fast in a model exhaust gas environment. From 300 to 400°C no excess NO x was detected in the off gas during transition from fuel lean to fuel rich conditions, resulting in a highly effective NO x removal performance. Above 500°C, the NSR activity was lost and not recovered at lower temperatures as K-compounds were partially crystallized on the catalyst.
