Abstract

The elimination of chlorinated organics (chlorobenzene as a model) in a SCR convertor has been given an increasing demand. Herein, a novel catalyst by loading CeO2 clusters on α-MnO2 nanorods has been designed for simultaneous abatement of NOx and chlorobenzene. The CeO2 modification provided new active center for CB oxidation as well as promoted the SCR activity of MnO2 by increasing both redox performance and adsorption property. The independent effect of dual active centers can be inferred from changing the amount of CeO2 content and atmosphere. In this regard, structure and chemical characterizations were conducted to further reveal the interaction mechanism and function in specific reaction.
