“…NO-TPD and H 2 -TPR tests were used to evaluate the oxidation performance of the catalysts. As can be seen from the NO-TPD results in Figure b, six desorption peaks were observed at 125, 175, 245, 315, 370, and 450 °C on the MnO x catalyst, which were attributed to the decomposition of different nitrate species. − The intensity of peaks III, V, and VI gradually decreased as the amount of SiO 2 -TEOS increased, and other peaks showed a trend of increase first and then decrease, indicating that the type and content of nitrate species have changed over SiO 2 ( x )@Mn catalysts. The formation of nitrate species was inherently an oxidation process of NO, and the addition of SiO 2 -TEOS caused a decrease in NO adsorption, which could be interpreted as a sign of the decline in the oxidation performance of the catalyst.…”
