Abstract
The reduction of NO by C3H6 in the presence of oxygen, is of great environmental importance. Platinum-based catalysts are very active but not selective towards N2 production and mainly convert NO into N2O, which participates to the greenhouse effect. Moreover, their operating temperature window is quite narrow. Electrochemical promotion was used to improve platinum catalytic behaviour. Platinum was deposited on YSZ (Y2O3 — stabilised ZrO2), an O2-conductor. It was found that a negative current increased the rate of NO reduction and CO2 formation. This rate enhancement was non-Faradaic with an apparent Faradaic efficiency (Λ) close to 180 indicating the manifestation of a NEMCA effect. However, the current application had no effect on the N2 selectivity
