Abstract:Currently, precious metals such as Pt, Pd, and Rh are used in catalytic converters for treatment of exhaust gases from gasoline and diesel engines. These catalysts help remove pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides as well as CO and hydrocarbons, all of which result in smog and respiratory problems in urban environments. The supplies of precious metals are limited worldwide, but there is increasing demand for clean energy. Hence, there is a need to develop more active catalysts that provide long-term stable perfo… Show more
