Summary: In this study, the surface properties and performance of CeO2-promoted Mn/TiO2 catalysts in the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by NH3 were investigated by changing the impregnation sequence of Mn and Ce. The results showed that the co-impregnated catalyst had higher NO conversion and improved metal dispersion, providing more adsorption sites. Additionally, the acidity of the catalyst could be controlled by changing the synthesis method.

Summary: Sulfated CeO2 cubes exhibited improved catalytic performance in NH3-SCR due to the increased Bronsted acid sites created by surface sulfates, which facilitated ammonia adsorption and activation. The presence of sulfates on CeO2 cubes did not significantly alter the crystal structures, and gaseous phase NO was identified as the rate-determining step in the SCR reaction over sulfated CeO2 cubes.

Summary: In this work, two types of confined catalysts, Pore-CeW/OMT and FW-CeW/OMT, were successfully designed for NH3-SCR process. The results showed that the FW-CeW/OMT structure could effectively prevent the migration and aggregation of dispersed nanoparticles. The citric acid pretreatment significantly enhanced the catalyst's surface acidity and catalytic activity. The framework confined FW-CeW/OMT exhibited a wide operating temperature window, good thermal stability, and strong sulfur resistance in NH3-SCR process.

Summary: The establishment of strongly coupled heterojunction interfaces between composite metal oxide interfaces is crucial for enhancing the activity of CO-SCR catalysts. A CuCoO2 modified CeO2 catalyst (H-CuCo-CeO2) was synthesized and showed excellent low-temperature activity, achieving 100% NO conversion at 175 degrees C, and excellent resistance to H2O and SO2. Through various tests, the influence of the heterojunction interfaces on the reaction performance was investigated, and it was found that the modification of the CuCoO2 structure promoted the migration of Cun+ species, increased surface active sites, and caused the formation of oxygen vacancies.

Summary: Novel yttrium-doped CeO2, MnOx, and CeMnOx composites are investigated as catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR. The study found that undoped CeMnOx mixed oxide exhibits significantly higher deNO(x) performance compared with undoped and Y-doped MnOx and CeO2 catalysts. The presence of yttrium in CeMnOx lowers the catalyst activity by promoting the competitive NH3-SCO reaction and reducing the amount of NH3 available for NO reduction. The study also analyzed the physical-chemical properties of the prepared catalysts using various techniques.

Summary: CeO2-MnO2 nanocomposites show excellent low temperature NH3-SCR activity, reducing NOx efficiently at temperatures ranging from 150 to 300 degrees Celsius. The outstanding performance is attributed to the strong synergistic interaction between CeO2 nanoparticles and MnO2 nanoflowers, as well as the high surface area and intimate contact.
