Abstract:
In this work, the phosphomolybdate (HPMo) modification strategy was applied to improve the N2 selectivity of MnCo-BTC@SiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx, and further, the mechanism of HPMo modification on enhanced catalytic performance was explored. Among MnCo-BTC@SiO2-x catalysts with different HPMo concentrations, MnCo-BTC@SiO2-0.75 catalyst exhibited not only the highest NH3-SCR performance (∼95% at 200-300°C) but also the best N2 selectivity (exceed 80% at 100-300°C) due to the appropriate redox capacity, greater surface acidity. X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction of H2 (H2-TPR) results showed that the modification with HPMo reduced the oxidation-reduction performance of the catalyst due to electron transfer from Mo5+ to Mn4+/Mn3+ and prevent the excessive oxidation of ammonia adsorption species. NH3 temperature-programmed desorption of (NH3-TPD) results showed that the modification with HPMo could significantly improve the surface acidity and NH3 adsorption, which enhance the catalytic activity and N2 selectivity. In-situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (in-situ DRIFTS) revealed that modification with HPMo increased significantly the amount of adsorbed NH3 species on the Bronsted acid site and CB/CL, it suppressed the production of N2O by inhibiting the production of NH species, the deep dehydrogenation of ammonia adsorption species. This study provided a simple design strategy for the catalyst to improve the low-temperature catalytic performance and N2 selectivity.

Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...
