“…Storage and reduction of NO x (NSR), also known as lean NO x traps (LNT), are currently employed for controlling NO x emission from light-duty diesel vehicles, − which periodically injects fuels into the exhaust, resulting in alternating fuel-lean and fuel-rich conditions. In the lean conditions, NO is oxidized to NO 2 and stored on NSR catalysts as nitrites/nitrates, while in the rich condition, the stored NO x species are desorbed and reduced to N 2 by the injected fuels, such as H 2 , CO, and C 3 H 6 . − A typical NSR catalyst is primarily composed of active components for NO oxidation and NO x reduction (noble metals such as Pt, Pd, and Rh), adsorption components for NO x storage (alkali/alkaline earth metals such as K and Ba, and perovskites), and supports with large specific surface areas (for instance, Al 2 O 3 , Mg–Al mixed oxides, and zeolites , ). Conventional NSR catalysts like Pt-BaO/Al 2 O 3 display high activity for NO x removal above 300 °C .…”
