In this study, yolk-shell structured MnFe@CeOx@TiOx nanocages were prepared to broaden the reaction temperature range and improve the water resistance of manganese-based catalysts. The double-shell structure increased the proportion of active species and enhanced the interaction between metal oxides, achieving a balance between the catalyst's redox capacity and surface acidity.
To broaden the reaction temperature range and improve the H2O-resistance of manganese-based catalysts, yolk-shell structured MnFe@CeOx@TiOx nanocages were prepared. The CeO2 shell could effectively increase the oxygen vacancy defect sites, and the TiO2 shell could remarkably improve the surface acid sites. Combining the advantages of the two shells could effectively solve the above questions. The catalytic efficiency of the yolk-shell MnFe@CeOx@TiOx-40 nanocages could reach above 90% in the range of 120-240 degrees C, and the water resistance could reach 90% at 240 degrees C. On the one hand, the construction of double shells could significantly increase the proportion of active species (Mn4+, Fe3+, Ce3+ and O-ads) and the interface effect between the shell layers could effectively enhance the interaction between metal oxides. On the other hand, the construction of double shells could achieve an appropriate balance between the redox capacity of the catalyst and surface acidity. Simultaneously, in situ DRIFT spectroscopy indicated that the yolk-shell MnFe@CeOx@TiOx-40 nanocages mainly followed the L-H mechanism during the NH3-SCR reaction. Finally, this double-shell structure strategy provided a new idea for constructing a Mn-based catalyst with a wide temperature window and better low-temperature water resistance.
