“…Using this dual catalyst system, the decrease in NOx conversion at temperatures above 500 K was also pronounced. The mechanism of the H2 effect in HC-SCR over Ag/Al2O3 is still under intense debate, but it has been generally accepted that the presence of H2 promotes partial oxidation of HCs and affects NOx reduction, particularly at low temperatures [24,31,44,45]. The influence of H2 on the activity of Ag/Al2O3 catalysts for NOx reduction has been found to be strongly dependent on the reaction conditions, for example, the concentrations of reductant and H2, ratio of HC/NOx, reaction temperature, space velocity, and so on.…”
