Abstract:
Nitric oxide (NO) oxidation is an integral part of the nitrogen chemical cycle, but competitive activation of NO/O2 over single platinum (Pt)-based catalysts result in inadequate low temperature performance. Here, we constructed catalysts with BiMn2O5/CeO2 and Pt/BiMn2O5 defective interfaces (sufficient activation of NO/O2). The constructed catalyst achieved 95 % NO conversion at 260 °C in NO/O2 atmosphere, superior to most known catalysts. Even after aging (800 °C for 16 h), the NO conversion was up to 76 %. Further, the catalyst can be applied to actual diesel exhaust. Detailed oxygen vacancies (Ov) characterization reveals that BiMn2O5/CeO2 defective interface created by Ce3+-Ov + Mn4+-O ↔ Ce4+-O + Mn3+-Ov promote the activation of NO (on Mn3+ sites) and O2 (on Mn3+-Ov sites). Besides, the Ov on Pt/BiMn2O5 defective interface compensate for the loss of Pt sites ensuring hydrothermal stability. And this construction of multiple defective interfaces develops a pathway for boosting catalytic reactions.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
