Abstract

Cu-SSZ-13 and Cu-SSZ-39, with similar structures, are both highly active and hydrothermally stable in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR), attracting great attention for applications on diesel vehicles. In this study, it was interestingly found that NO2 has distinct effects on the NOx conversion over Cu-SSZ-13 and Cu-SSZ-39, with an inhibiting effect for Cu-SSZ-13 but a promoting effect for Cu-SSZ-39. The distinct NO2 effects were found to be associated with the differences in the reactivity of surface NH4NO3, a key intermediate for NH3-SCR, on these two Cu-based small-pore zeolites. Cu-SSZ-13 has excellent standard SCR activity, but the reactivity of surface NH4NO3 with NO is relatively low, which would induce the accumulation of NH4NO3 on the surface and thus inhibit NOx conversion. Surface Brønsted acid sites play key roles in the reduction of surface NH4NO3 by NO, and Cu-SSZ-39 showed much higher surface acidity than Cu-SSZ-13. Compared with Cu-SSZ-13, the intrinsic standard SCR activity of Cu-SSZ-39 was lower but NH4NO3 could be reduced by NO rapidly on Cu-SSZ-39, even faster than the reduction of NO by the adsorbed NH3 on Cu active sites; thus, NOx conversion was promoted by NO2 on Cu-SSZ-39.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
