Transition-metal‐doped ceria carried on two-dimensional vermiculite for selective catalytic reduction of NO with CO: Experiments and density functional theory

Abstract Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reduces oxynitrides from power plant and vehicle emissions, and enhancements in efficiency would lessen pollution further. We prepared a series of transition metal (TM) doped CeO2 catalysts by impregnating them with vermiculite (VMT) as a carrier for reducing NOx by SCR with carbon monoxide (CO–SCR). The catalyst performance was in the following order: Zn
