摘要

In this work, we developed a novel zirconium doped CeVO4 to form Ce1-xZrxVO4 (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.50, 0.70, 0.80) solid solution as a low-temperature catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx, with NH3. The optimized catalysts showed excellent performance at low temperature. The light-off temperature (the temperature at which the conversion of NOx reaches 50%) was down to about 125 degrees C, while the temperature window (the NO(x)conversion is above 80%) ranged from 150 to 375 degrees C. The selectivity was kept close to 100% during the whole temperature range. Furthermore, the catalysts also exhibited good H2O/SO2 durability and fascinating performance at high gas hourly space velocity of 400,000 h(-1). Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ammonia and nitrogen oxides temperature-programmed desorption and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform experiments were performed to study the influence of Zr doping on the SCR performance. 'two found that the introduction of Zr in CeVO4 with a proper amount could significantly increase the surface area, oxidative ability, active oxygen species and especially surface acid sites of the catalysts, which were beneficial to the promotion of SCR performance.
