CeO2 nanoparticle-loaded MnO2 nanoflowers, prepared by a hydrothermal method followed by an adsorption-calcination technique, were utilized for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 at low temperatures. The effects of Ce/Mn ratio and thermal calcination temperature on the NH3&ndash:SCR activity of the CeO2-MnO2 nanocomposites were studied comprehensively. The as-prepared CeO2-MnO2 catalysts show high NOx reduction efficiency in the temperature range of 150&ndash:300 °:C, with a complete NOx conversion at 200 °:C for the optimal sample. The excellent NH3&ndash:SCR performance could be ascribed to high surface area, intimate contact, and strong synergistic interaction between CeO2 nanoparticles and MnO2 nanoflowers of the well-designed composite catalyst. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTs) characterizations evidence that the SCR reaction on the surface of the CeO2-MnO2 nanocomposites mainly follows the Langmuir&ndash:Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism. Our work provides useful guidance for the development of composite oxide-based low temperature NH3&ndash:SCR catalysts.
