ABSTRACT
Following the need for an innovative catalyst and material design in catalysis, we provide a comparative approach using pure and Pd-doped LaCu x Mn1-x O3 (x = 0.3 and 0.5) perovskite catalysts to elucidate the beneficial role of the Cu/perovskite and the promoting effect of Cu y Pd x /perovskite interfaces developing in situ under model NO + CO reaction conditions. The observed bifunctional synergism in terms of activity and N2 selectivity is essentially attributed to an oxygen-deficient perovskite interface, which provides efficient NO activation sites in contact with in situ exsolved surface-bound monometallic Cu and bimetallic CuPd nanoparticles. The latter promotes the decomposition of the intermediate N2O at low temperatures, enhancing the selectivity toward N2. We show that the intelligent Cu/perovskite interfacial design is the prerequisite to effectively replace noble metals by catalytically equally potent metal-mixed-oxide interfaces. We have provided the proof of principle for the NO + CO test reaction but anticipate the extension to a universal concept applicable to similar materials and reactions.
