Abstract
Passive NO x adsorber (PNA) is one of the promising technologies for reducing NO x emissions from vehicles during cold start periods. Precious metals supported on metal oxide and zeolite have been extensively investigated as PNA materials. Hence, it is worthwhile to compare two typical PNA materials, Pd/CeO 2 and Pd/SSZ-13, so as to understand the differences between them. The NO x adsorption/desorption experiments were carried out under varying NO/NO 2 ratios, and the result indicated that the NO x adsorption/desorption mechanisms on Pd/CeO 2 and Pd/SSZ-13 are completely different. Specifically, NO and NO 2 were competitively adsorbed on Pd/SSZ-13, while the NO adsorption on Pd/CeO 2 was promoted by NO 2 . This difference is attributed to different adsorption sites: NO x is adsorbed on the ceria surface in Pd/CeO 2 , whereas it is adsorbed on atomic Pd 2+ sites in Pd/SSZ-13, according to DRIFTS spectra in this study. In addition, the effect of sulfur poisoning was investigated as well. Pd/SSZ-13 showed moderate sulfur tolerance, while Pd/CeO 2 completely lost its PNA ability after sulfur aging.
