UiO66-Derived Catalyst for Low Temperature Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH 3 .

Diesel exhaust emissions are major outdoor air pollutants. Reducing the emission of NOx by diesel commercial vehicles and related machineries is at present a great challenge. In this study, we synthesize a catalyst for low-temperature catalytic reduction of NO using calcinated UiO-66(Zr) as a host for the doping of cerium, manganese, and titanium by the incipient wetness impregnation, followed by the dispersion of 1.0 wt % platinum. A solid solution of Ce 0.15 Zr 0.54 Mn 0.11 Ti 0.20 O 2 /1.0Pt (CZMTO/Pt) is synthesized as evident by the structural characterizations. The catalyst demonstrates significant NO reduction in the laboratory due to the synergistic effect of various elements, with NO conversion above 80% at 160 °C.
