Synthesis of MnO2-CuO-Fe2O3/CNTs catalysts: low-temperature SCR activity and formation mechanism.

MnO2-CuO-Fe2O3/CNTs catalysts, as a low-dimensional material, were fabricated by a mild redox strategy and used in denitration reactions. A formation mechanism of the catalysts was proposed. NO conversions of 4% MnO2-CuO-Fe2O3/CNTs catalyst of 43.1-87.9% at 80-180 °C were achieved, which was ascribed to the generation of amorphous MnO2, CuO and Fe2O3, and a high surface-oxygen (Os) content.
