Perovskites free of critical raw materials (noble metals and rare earths) of the type Ba1-ySryMn1−0.2-xMg0.2CuxO3 (y = 0.1, 0.5; x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) are developed for the abatement of pollutants in automotive exhaust, both gaseous (CO, NOx and HCs) and solid (carbon soot). The reactivity in oxidation and reduction is tuned through ad-hoc induced surface segregation phenomena and the promotion of specific Mn(III)/Mn(IV) and Cu/Mn atomic ratios. The insertion of Cu into the perovskitic cell, moves the crystalline structure from 2H-type toward a Mn-deficient one, in which Mn(III) is prevalent. The catalytic capability in abatement of pollutants was studied comparing the activity in the following reactions: CO oxidation, CO assisted NO reduction, and with a complex mixture simulating the composition of automotive exhausts in stoichiometric and rich conditions. CO oxidation is favored by surface segregation of Mn, Mg may play a role in CO coordination. Copper enhances the NO reduction activity of the catalysts in the CO + NO reaction and Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.5Mg0.2Cu0.3O3 is the more active, whereas in the complex mixture Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.7Mg0.2Cu0.1O3 and Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.6Mg0.2Cu0.2O3 are the more active suggesting a less relevant role of surface composition and a more active contribution of bulk ion mobility.
Is fighting against pollutants possible with critical raw material free perovskites?

Abstract
Perovskites free of critical raw materials (noble metals and rare earths) of the type Ba1-ySryMn1−0.2-xMg0.2CuxO3 (y = 0.1, 0.5; x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) are developed for the abatement of pollutants in automotive exhaust, both gaseous (CO, NOx and HCs) and solid (carbon soot). The reactivity in oxidation and reduction is tuned through ad-hoc induced surface segregation phenomena and the promotion of specific Mn(III)/Mn(IV) and Cu/Mn atomic ratios. The insertion of Cu into the perovskitic cell, moves the crystalline structure from 2H-type toward a Mn-deficient one, in which Mn(III) is prevalent. The catalytic capability in abatement of pollutants was studied comparing the activity in the following reactions: CO oxidation, CO assisted NO reduction, and with a complex mixture simulating the composition of automotive exhausts in stoichiometric and rich conditions. CO oxidation is favored by surface segregation of Mn, Mg may play a role in CO coordination. Copper enhances the NO reduction activity of the catalysts in the CO + NO reaction and Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.5Mg0.2Cu0.3O3 is the more active, whereas in the complex mixture Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.7Mg0.2Cu0.1O3 and Ba0.9Sr0.1Mn0.6Mg0.2Cu0.2O3 are the more active suggesting a less relevant role of surface composition and a more active contribution of bulk ion mobility.Pubblicazioni consigliate
