Abstract:
Exposure of NO(2)-saturated BaO/gamma-Al(2)O(3) NO(x) storage materials to H(2)O vapour results in the conversion of surface nitrates to Ba(NO(3))(2) crystallites, causing dramatic morphological changes in the Ba-containing phase, demonstrating a role for water in affecting the NO(x) storage/reduction properties of these materials.
