Modulate the superficial structure of La_(2)Ce_(2)O_(7) catalyst with anchoring CuO_(x) species for the selective catalytic oxidation of NH_(3)

Air contamination caused by the ammonia slip phenomenon has gradually captured the researcher’s extensive attention.An effective strategy for controlling fugitive NH_(2)is critical to improving the air quality and living environment.In the present work,CuO_(x)/La_(2)Ce_(2)O_(7)composite as a potential candidate catalyst is synthesized through the electrostatic adsorption method for the selective catalytic oxidation(SCO_(2))of NH_(2)to N.The 5%Cu Ox/La_(2)Ce_(2)O_(7)exhibits the best catalytic activity(T=243℃)and ammonia conversion efficiency.The improvement of performance is mainly attributed to the superficial connection of[Ce-O-Cu],which enhances the capturing ability of ammonia molecule and accelerates the dissociating efficiency of N–H bonding for Nevolution,simultaneously.This work provides a facile method to synthesis pyrochlore-like composite catalyst of NH_(2)-SCO_(2) for solving the problem of ammonia slip pollution in the future.
