Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •H2-SCR is strongly promoted on small Pd particles supported on a low-SSA CeO2.•TOF (s−1) is significantly reduced with increasing Pd particle size in the 13−45 nm range.•Concentration of active NOx-s correlates with the specific rate of H2-SCR as a function of dPd.•The effect of H2O on NO-conversion depends on Pd particle size and reaction temperature.•An inverse volcano-type profile of XNO vs T (130−220 °C) in the H2-SCR on Pd/CeO2 independent of dPd. The H2-SCR of NO was investigated in the 130−220 °C range over low-SSA CeO2-supported Pd of varying particle size, dPd (ca. 13−45 nm). Relationships were derived between dPd and the specific integral rate (per gram of Pd or length of metal-support interface), NO conversion, N2-selectivity, TOFNO and the concentration of active NOx-s. The large enhancement in the rate of NO conversion per gram of Pd metal over the small Pd particles was found to be largely related to the increase in the concentration of active NOx formed within a zone around the Pd-ceria interface and the rate of H-spillover. The effect of H2O on the integral rate and N2-selectvity as a function of dp (nm) was also investigated.
