“…Among the several catalysts used for soot combustion, the most common are: molten salts [14][15][16][17], Pt-based oxides [18][19][20][21], ceria-based oxides [18,19,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28], and others based on transition metals (such as copper or iron) [20,24,26,[29][30][31][32][33][34]. Although those catalysts containing Pt show a very high activity in the NO oxidation to NO 2 (and thus, promoting soot combustion), some other catalysts are being developed, whose NO 2 production activities are becoming closer to those of Pt-based catalysts, but with lower costs.…”
