摘要

Herein, Ag/TiO2 catalysts modified with Cu, Ce, Mn, and Co were synthesized via impregnation and vacuum rotary evaporation for low-temperature NH3 selective catalytic oxidation (NH3-SCO). Among all the modified samples, Ag–Cu/TiO2 with an optimal Ag/Cu molar ratio of 0.25 exhibited exceptional performance, achieving > 85% NH3 conversion and > 90% N2 selectivity at 175 °C. The superior activity and selectivity of Ag–Cu/TiO₂ were attributed to its uniform Ag dispersion, enhanced NH3 adsorption capacity (by NH3-TPD), and abundant Brønsted acidic sites. In contrast, Mn doping significantly improved low-temperature activity (50% NH3 conversion at 150 °C) but induced over-oxidation, generating 50% N2O and NOx by-products due to the strong redox properties of Mn. Mechanistic studies via in-situ DRIFTS and XPS demonstrated that Cu modification optimized electron transfer between Ag and TiO2, while H2-TPR revealed Cu–Ag synergy reduced the reduction temperature of Ag2O species. This work provides a strategic framework for designing efficient NH3-SCO catalysts by balancing metal synergy and redox-activity modulation.
