Abstract

Manganese based catalysts are highly active in the NH3-SCR reaction for NOx removal. Unfortunately, manganese oxides can be easily deactivated by sulfur dioxide in the flow gas, which has become the main obstacle for their practical applications. To address this problem, we presented a green and facile method for the synthesis of multi-shell Fe2O3@MnOx@CNTs. The morphology and structural properties of the catalysts were systematically investigated. The results revealed that the MnOx@CNT core–shell structure was formed during the chemical bath deposition, while the outermost MnOx species were transformed to Fe2O3 after the galvanic replacement reaction. The formation of the multi-shell structure induced the enhancement of the active oxygen species, reducible species as well as adsorption of the reactants, which brought about excellent de-NOx performance. Moreover, the Fe2O3 shell could effectively suppress the formation of the surface sulfate species, leading to the desirable SO2 resistance to the multi-shell catalyst. Hence, the synthesis protocol could provide guidance for the preparation and elevation of manganese based catalysts.
