High performance Pd –Rh/YBaCo4O7/γ-Al2O3 three-way catalysts for gasoil engine

Publication date: Available online 30 June 2017 Source:Journal of Taibah University for Science Author(s): Brou Albert Kouadio, Fuming Mei, Tao Li, Lei Pang The evaluation of catalytic activity for Rh–Pd/YBa(Co1−xMx)4O7/γ-Al2O3 (M=Al, Ce, Zr, and La) showed that the efficiency of NOx reduction depends strongly on the nature of the OSMs. Among a series of oxygen storage materials, YBa(Co1−xMx)4O7 (M=Ce, Zr, La, Ga and In) studied for catalyst enhancement, only the catalyst with YBa(Co0.9Ce0.1)4O7 has better conversion efficiency respectively (85% of NO, 96% of CO and 92% of HC). After treatment at 1000°C for 3h, these fresh catalysts showed a substantial decrease of their catalytic activities, only Rh–Pd/YBa(Co0.9Ce0.1)4O7/γ-Al2O3 retains its high catalytic activity.
