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.

Structural characterization of Alumina-Supported Rh Catalysts: effects of Ceriation and Zirconiation by using metal-organic precursors

TL;DR: XPS results indicate that after the calcination and reduction treatments, a small amount of chlorine is retained on the support of all rhodium catalysts, suggesting that ceria and zirconia protect the r Rhodium particles against extensive oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms, kinetics, and dynamics of oxidation and reactions on oxide surfaces investigated by scanning probe microscopy

TL;DR: A perspective is provided on advanced SPM techniques that hold great promise for yielding new insights into the mechanisms and rates of elemental processes that take place either during oxidation or on oxide surfaces, with particular emphasis on methods that extend the time and chemical resolution of dynamical SPM measurements.

Morphology and nanostructure of CeO2(111) surfaces of single crystals and Si(111) supported ceria films.

TL;DR: The surface morphology of CeO(2)(111) single crystals and silicon supported ceria films is investigated by non-contact atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscope for various annealing conditions and significant inhomogeneity in the KPFM signal is found even for best possible preparation conditions.

Identification of the surface species responsible for N2O formation from the chemisorption of NO on Rh/alumina.

TL;DR: Energy dispersive EXAFS and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy are combined synchronously at high time resolution (17 Hz) to probe how NO(g) reacts with gamma-Al(2)O(3) supported, metallic Rh nanoparticles of an average 11 A diameter.

CO oxidation and NO reduction over supported Pt-Rh and Pd-Rh nanocatalysts: a comparative study

TL;DR: In this article, the surface compositions of supported Pt 50 Rh 50 and Pd 50 RH 50 three-way catalysts have been simulated by Monte-Carlo (MC) technique and used for calculating the activity of the catalysts for CO oxidation and NO reduction.

Rh-Loaded CeO2-ZrO2 Solid-Solutions as Highly Efficient Oxygen Exchangers: Dependence of the Reduction Behavior and the Oxygen Storage Capacity on the Structural-Properties

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that incorporation of ZrO2 into a solid solution with CeO2 strongly promotes bulk reduction of the Rh-loaded solid solutions in comparison to a Rh/CeO2 sample.

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.
