Automotive exhaust catalysis

TLDR
The general trend has been one of increasingly complex catalyst formulations in response to increasingly stringent emission standards as discussed by the authors, but with greater emphasis on optimizing catalyst formulations for lean-burn applications and reducing catalyst cost and complexity without sacrificing performance.

Oxidation State and Symmetry of Magnesia-Supported Pd13Ox Nanocatalysts Influence Activation Barriers of CO Oxidation

TL;DR: It is shown that molecular oxygen dissociates easily on the supported Pd(13) cluster, leading to facile partial oxidation to form Pd (13)O(4) clusters with C(4v) symmetry, which show lower temperature-catalyzed CO combustion, already starting at cryogenic temperature.

Twenty-five years after introduction of automotive catalysts: what next?

TL;DR: The union of catalysts and the automobile has been one of the greatest successes of heterogeneous catalysis over the last 25 years as mentioned in this paper, and there will be continued research and development activity focused also on downstream applications (i.e. exhaust emission aftertreatment), especially for fuelefficient, lean-burn vehicles, both diesel and spark-ignited.
