Effect of α-Fe2O3 morphology on NO reduction by CO
Introduction The catalytic reduction of NO by CO is an essential process in the three-way catalytic converter used in abating automobile exhaust, where Pd, Pt and Rh-based noble metals act as the major catalytic components 1. Because of the high cost and limited available sources of precious metals, considerable efforts have been made to utilize transition metals and their oxides. Among them, iron oxides seem to be the most promising candidate. Density functional theory analyses have revealed that Fe2O3 clusters are excellent catalysts for CO oxidation and NO reduction 2, but experimental studies on Fe2O3 for NO+CO reaction are reported scarcely. Here, we examined α-Fe2O3 materials with different morphologies (fibrous-like and small nanosheets) for NO reduction by CO, and the fibrous-like α-Fe2O3 showed exceptionally high activity, similar to the precious metal-based catalysts.
