Catalytic reduction of NO using CO, which is usually present in the flue gas of the iron and steel industry, is considered as an economical and eco-friendly de-NOₓ method (CO-SCR). However, the oxygen present in the flue gas will significantly inhibit the CO-SCR activity of the catalyst, thereby limiting its industrial application. Herein, catalysts based on iron and cerium oxides were prepared and modified with different metals to investigate their performance for the CO-SCR reaction in the presence of oxygen. The results show that the Fe/CeO₂ catalyst can reach 99% NO conversion at 200 °C, but its activity decreased dramatically to 42.7% when the oxygen is present (0.5 vol%). By contrast, the NO conversion of Ni-doped Fe/CeO₂ catalyst demonstrated significant enhanced oxygen resistance and could achieve 92% even at 150 °C in the presence of 0.5 vol% oxygen. Characterization techniques such as N₂ adsorption, XRD, SEM/TEM, XPS, H₂-TPR, and in situ DRIFT were employed to investigate the mechanism of the improved oxygen resistance property of Ni-doped catalyst. The results show that the doped Ni can interact with Fe species, increases the BET surface area of the catalyst and generates more surface oxygen vacancies (SOV) and surface synergetic oxygen vacancy (SSOV) in CO-SCR reaction, thereby improving the redox performance of the catalyst. In situ DRIFT results show that the better redox performance of NiFe/CeO₂ catalyst is conducive to the conversion of adsorbed NOₓ species to the reactive intermediate NO₂⁻ species during the reaction. Meanwhile, the enhanced SOV/SSOV in the NiFe/CeO₂ catalyst can remain active in the presence of oxygen. Therefore, the NiFe/CeO₂ catalyst exhibits a promising catalytic activity in CO-SCR reaction when oxygen is present.
