“…After K poisoning, the reactivity of NH x and nitrate species largely decreases on SO 4 Nowadays, it is generally believed that the decrease in acidity is the dominant reason for the deactivation of catalysts after alkali poisoning (Hu et al, 2015b;Putluru et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2015). Additionally, the impaired redox properties resulting from alkali poisoning also lead to the decline of activity, such as the reduced reducibility for K-poisoned V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 (Wang et al, 2019) and decreased oxidative capacity for K-poisoned Mn/TiO 2 (Wei et al, 2018). Besides the reduced acidity and redox properties, the absence of active NO x species at low temperatures and the formation of inactive nitrate species at high temperatures result in the decreased activity of alkali-poisoned V 2 O 5 /CeO 2 (Peng et al, 2014).…”
