Over the past several
years, selective catalytic reduction of NO
x
with hydrogen (H2-SCR) has been regarded as a promising
technology for NO
x
abatement under lean-burn
conditions. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in the
development and understanding of H2-SCR catalysts. The
various mechanisms that have been proposed in the literature are reviewed
first. The influence of the catalyst chemical components (noble metals,
supports, promoters, and perovskites) and their roles in H2-SCR are then analyzed. Non-noble metal catalysts and the new strategy
of alloying Pt with transition metals (Ni, Fe, Co, and Cu) are of
particular interest and discussed. From a practical viewpoint, the
effects of exhaust gas composition on H2-SCR is also addressed.
Finally, we propose potential opportunities and challenges in the
area of H2-SCR.
