The dynamic structural evolution of Rh species in mordenite (MOR) zeolite was investigated usingin situspectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.In situX-ray absorption spectroscopy andoperandoinfrared (IR) revealed that metallic Rh species were oxidized to afford isolated [Rh(NO)2]+species under NO flow at 200 °C, whereas small Rh metal clusters are formed under the subsequent H2flow.Ab initiothermodynamics analysis shows that the plausible structures under NO and H2at 200 °C are [Rh(NO)2]+and Rh clusters in MOR, which is consistent with the experimental observations. A comparative study of Rh-loaded Al2O3suggests that Al sites in MOR increase the thermodynamic stability of isolated Rh+species and thus prevent their overoxidation to Rh2O3under NO. NO capture in the form of [Rh(NO)2]+and its selective reduction toward NH3under H2flow were observed byin situIR measurements. The RhMOR catalyst exhibited ∼60% of NOx conversion above 200 °C under periodic lean/rich conditions. Transition-state calculations showed that the activation barrier for NO reduction to NH3on [Rh(NO)2]+(178 kJ/mol) is higher than that for Rh13(156 kJ/mol), suggesting that Rh metal clusters are preferable NH3formation sites, where the Rh13-catalyzed NO reduction into N2and N2O was less preferable than NH3formation, which is consistent with the experimental results. Combined withoperandoIR experiments under lean (NO + O2) and rich (NO + H2) conditions, we show that the reversible dynamic structural evolution of Rh species ([Rh(NO)2]+↔ Rh metal clusters under lean and rich conditions) is a key mechanistic feature for unsteady-state de-NOx via the capture of NO, its selective reduction to NH3, and the selective reduction of NO with NH3formedin situ.
