The mechanistic cause of the dramatic activity improvement of alumina-supported silver (Ag/Al2O3) by H2 addition for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with propane (C3H8-SCR) was investigated by catalytic and spectroscopic studies. In situ UV−vis, in situ EXAFS, IR, and microcalorimetric experiments show that H2 reduction of Ag+ ions on Ag/Al2O3 at 573 K yields protons on alumina and partially reduced Agnδ+ clusters, which are subsequently aggregated to larger Ag clusters. During H2 + O2 and H2-assisted C3H8-SCR reactions, Ag+ ions and Agnδ+ coexist. Reoxidation with O2 results in the redispersion of the cluster to Ag+ ion, accompanying a reaction of protons. The relationship between cluster size, redox properties, and catalytic activity is examined using Ag/Al2O3 of different Ag loadings. The steady-state NO reduction rate correlates fairly well with the amount of Agnδ+ during the H2-assisted C3H8-SCR reaction. It is shown that Agnδ+ is the active species, whereas monomeric Ag+ ion and metallic Ag ...
