Vehicular engines operating under lean burn conditions are becoming more popular than
conventional Otto gasoline engines, running at a chemically correct (stoichiometric) air to …

Concerns about emissions of carbon dioxide have created a need to develop more fuel‐
efficient vehicles. Diesel engines are generally more efficient than gasoline engines but …

Automotive three-way catalysts (TWCs) have represented over the last 25 years one of the
most successful stories in the development of catalysts. The aim of this paper is to illustrate …

Over the last several years, nitrogen oxide (s)(NOx) storage/reduction (NSR) catalysts, also
referred to as NOx adsorbers or lean NOx traps, have been developed as an aftertreatment …

Interest in structured catalysts is steadily increasing due to the already proven, as well as
potential, advantages of these catalysts. Updating the comprehensive coverage of the first …

Flow reactor experiments and XPS measurements were used to investigate the observed
decrease in activity of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/BaO/Al2O3 catalysts during reaction conditions. The …

Adsorption of NO, NO/O2, and NO2 on Pt–Ba–Al–O system is investigated at 350° C by the
transient response method (TRM) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The data suggest that in the …

The surface species formed during adsorption of NOx on a commercial NSR catalyst
(containing barium oxide, Pt, and alumina as the main components) were investigated by in …

TG-FTIR and flow reactor experiments were performed to study soot oxidation on MnOx-
CeO2 mixed oxide catalysts in model diesel exhaust gas (10% O2, 5% H2O, 1000ppm NO …

Energy demand, decreasing fossil fuel reserves, and health-related issues about pollutants
have led researchers to search for renewable alternative fuels to either partially or fully …
