Abstract:
The local structure around Cu supported on Al2O3 was determined by UV/VIS/NIR and XAFS spectroscopic techniques. The relationship between catalytic performance for NO–CO–O2 reaction and the state of supported Cu species is discussed. A new method for estimating the fraction of aggregated to isolated Cu species is proposed.
