Cu-IM-5 as the Catalyst for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> with NH<sub>3</sub>: Role of Cu Species and Reaction Mechanism

The role of Cu species in Cu ion-exchanged IM-5 zeolite (Cu-IM-5) regarding the performance in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> with NH<sub>3</sub> (NH<sub>3</sub>-SCR) and the reaction mechanism was studied. Based on H<s...
