Reduction/oxidation half-cycles of the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3(NH3–SCR) over Fe-exchanged mordenite (MOR) zeolites at 300 °C were investigated byin situ/operandospectroscopy (infrared, UV–vis, and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The reduction of Fe3+into Fe2+and the simultaneous formation of N2and H2O in the reduction half-cycle (under NO + NH3) were demonstrated by different spectroscopic results. In the subsequent oxidation half-cycle (under O2or NO + O2), Fe2+was reoxidized into Fe3+. The reduction half-cycle comprises several elementary steps. Reduction of Fe3+–OH by NO producing Fe2+and NO+species was observed at low temperatures (<100 °C), while N2formation due to the reduction of NO+was observed under subsequent NH3exposure at 100 °C. Under transient conditions, NH3on Brønsted acid sites (B–NH3) reacted with NO to generate N2when the coverage of B–NH3was low, indicating that B–NH3is not a spectator but a reservoir of NH3. Transition state calculation theoretically suggested that the formation of nitrous acid (HONO) intermediates from [Fe3+(OH–)2]+at a Al site and gaseous NO was a facile process (Ea= 29.2 kJ/mol). Combining the experimental observation and DFT calculation, the mechanism of the reduction half-cycle over Fe–zeolites was proposed; [Fe3+(OH–)2]+is reduced by NO to produce a HONO intermediate, which then reacts with NH3on Brønsted acid sites to yield H2O and N2via NO+species. Based on the mechanistic insights above, Fe–zeolites (MOR and β) with different Fe loadings and Si/Al ratios were tested for NH3–SCR reaction. Consequently, 2.7 wt % Fe-loaded zeolites with a relatively large number of Brønsted acid sites (Al-rich β with a Si/Al ratio of 5) showed the highest NOxconversion in a low-temperature region.
