Creation of an immiscible OsPd solid solution as a Rh-free catalyst with NOx reduction performance exceeding that of Rh†
Abstract
We synthesized an atomic-level homogeneously distributed OsPd immiscible solid solution for the first time. It exhibited a much higher NOx reduction activity than the best monometal catalyst, Rh. Additionally, the origin of the high activity was revealed as the rapid NO dissociation and its low activation energy on the OsPd solid solution.
