Systematic study resolves debate on car exhaust catalyst design

Smog-producing chemicals could be almost eliminated from the tailpipes of diesel cars and vans, using a new exhaust catalyst concept developed at KAUST. After systematically studying multiple catalyst compositions, the research team identified the ideal atomic recipe to catalytically remove NOx from vehicle emissions. The findings, published in Nature Communications, resolve an ongoing debate over additive atoms in the catalyst mix.Smog-producing chemicals could be almost eliminated from the tailpipes of diesel cars and vans, using a new exhaust catalyst concept developed at KAUST.
