Abstract

Cs salt of 12-tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) was deposited simultaneously at the external surface of the SBA-15 silica microcrystals and inside its mesoporous channels at loading of 60 wt% and Cs/W ratio in the range between 0.9 and 2, followed by impregnation of 1 wt% Pt. The performance of the Pt/CsHPW/SBA-15 composite materials was tested in the NOx storage. The optimal NOx storage capacity and efficiency were achieved at Cs/W of 1.5. The dispersion of CsHPW on SBA-15 led to a significant decrease of its crystal size (5-13 nm) compared with bulk HPW and HPW supported on titania (28-29 nm). Pt/CsHPW/SBA-15 displayed lower NOx absorption capacity but much higher absorption and desorption efficiency than the reference Pt/HPW and Pt/ HPW/TiO2 materials. Consequently, Pt/CsHPW/SBA-15 displayed a better performance in short lean (2 min)-rich (1 min) absorption-desorption cycles. The novel Pt/CsHPW/SBA-15 nanocomposites presents the basis for improved storage material for NOx removal from lean exhaust gases in highly dynamic aftertreatment technologies.
