Abstract
Simultaneous oxidation of soot and CH<sub>4</sub> emitted from natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine is a new challenge. Herein, a robust catalyst of binary Ru-Pd components supported on three-dimensional ordered macro-mesoporous cerium-zirconium oxide (RuPd/3DOMM-CZO) is elaborately constructed. Ordered macro-mesopore structure in novel hierarchical porous cerium-zirconium oxide can respectively enhance mass transfer of soot and gaseous reactants, and binary Ru-Pd active components can improve activation for NO and CH<sub>4</sub>. RuPd/3DOMM-CZO catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance and stability during simultaneous soot and CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation. Based on the results of characterizations and theoretical calculations, Ru site in binary Ru-Pd components is responsible for catalyzing NO oxidation to NO<sub>2</sub>, which is key step of NO<sub>x</sub>-assisted soot oxidation mechanism, while Pd site can activate the C-H bond of CH<sub>4</sub> for boosting oxidation to CO<sub>2</sub>; the catalytic cooperation between Ru and Pd atoms can promote the rate-determining step to realize simultaneous oxidation of soot and CH<sub>4</sub>.
