Abstract

A series of sub-monolayer vanadia-on-zirconia catalysts have been prepared and the activities of these have been measured for the selective reduction of NO with NH3. It has been found that the activity per vanadium surface species depends on the square of the vanadium surface coverage. We therefore conclude that clusters of vanadia species on the surface of the catalysts are responsible for the de-NOx activity rather than isolated vanadia surface molecules.
