Selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3−SCR) is one of the widely used process to abate NOx emission from both stationary and mobile sources. Recently, CeO2−TiO2 based NH3−SCR catalysts due to their excellent medium and high temperature activities, high N2 selectivity and environmentally friendly, have attracted much attention as great candidate to replace the commercial VOx−TiO2 based NH3−SCR catalysts. During the past years, extensive works have been done to achieve the industrial commercialization of CeO2−TiO2 based NH3−SCR catalyst. In this review, we summarize the recent studies on the mechanism, deactivation, preparation and modification of CeO2−TiO2 catalyst. The focus of this review is the modification strategies on improving the catalytic performance of CeO2−TiO2 catalyst. By comparing the effect of different modification strategies on the catalytic performance of CeO2−TiO2 catalyst, the perspectives and challenges of CeO2−TiO2 based catalyst for NH3−SCR of NOx are discussed.
