Abstract
It is a great challenge to remove VOCs and NOx simultaneously from flue gas in nonelectric industries. This study focuses on the construction of Fe-MnO2 catalysts that perform well in the simultaneous removal of toluene and NOx at low temperatures. Utilizing the Fe-induced phase transition of MnO2, Fe-MnO2-F&R catalysts with a composite morphology of nanoflowers and nanorods were successfully prepared that provided an abundant microporous structure to facilitate the diffusion of molecules of different sizes. Through in-depth investigation of the active sites and reaction mechanism, we discovered that Fe-induced phase transition could modulate the surface acidity of Fe-MnO2-F&R. The higher concentration of surface Mn4+ provided numerous Brønsted acid sites, which effectively promoted the activation of toluene to reactive intermediates, such as benzyl alcohol/benzoate/maleic acid. Simultaneously, Fe provided a large number of Lewis acid sites that anchor and activate NH3 species, thereby inhibiting NH3 nonselective oxidation. Furthermore, additional Brønsted acid sites were generated during the simultaneous reaction process, enhancing toluene activation. Consequently, the simultaneous removal of toluene and NOx was achieved through regulation of the physical structure and the concentration of acidic sites. The present work provides new insights into the rational design of bifunctional catalysts for the synergistic control of VOCs and NOx emissions.

Abstract
Cu-SSZ-39 zeolite with 8-membered rings is regarded as a very promising catalyst in the NH3-SCR reaction, but its hydrothermal stability still remains to be improved. One of the solutions to promote hydrothermal stability is the insertion of rare earth elements in the product. Nevertheless, normal ion exchange of rare earth elements limits their contents in the zeolite product due to their large hydrated ionic radius and alkaline environment under hydrothermal conditions. Herein, we for the first time present a new method for the one-pot synthesis of Ce-SSZ-39 zeolite under solvent-free conditions. The key to success is the use of Ce-FAU zeolite as a precursor. The obtained product shows good crystallinity, sheet-like morphology, large BET surface area, and 4-coordinated Al species. Detailed investigations illustrate that Ce species in the Cu/Ce-SSZ-39 zeolite micropore can prevent the dealumination and thus formation of CuAlOx species during hydrothermal aging at 850 °C for 16 h, giving the excellent hydrothermal stability and thus showing the excellent catalytic performance in the NH3-SCR reaction. One-pot synthesis of Ce-SSZ-39 zeolite with excellent catalytic performance might open a new door for developing very efficient selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts in near future.

Abstract
The migration of atoms and small clusters is an important process in sub-nanometre scale heterogeneous catalysis, affecting activity, accessibility and deactivation through sintering. Control of migration can be partially achieved via encapsulation of sub-nanometre metal particles into porous media such as zeolites. However, a general understanding of the migration mechanisms and their sensitivity to particle size and framework environment is lacking. Here, we extend the time-scale and sampling of atomistic simulations of platinum cluster diffusion in siliceous zeolite frameworks, by introducing a reactive neural network potential of density functional quality. We observe that Pt atoms migrate in a qualitatively different manner from clusters, occupying the dense region of the framework and avoiding the free pore space. We also find that for cage-like zeolite CHA there exists a maximum in self diffusivity for the Pt dimer beyond which, confinement effects hinder intercage migration. By extending the quality of sampling, NNP-based methods allow for the discovery of novel dynamical processes at the atomistic scale, bringing modelling closer to operando experimental characterization of catalytic materials.

Abstract
Al-rich (Si/Al = 4-6) Cu-SSZ-13 has been recognized as one of the potential catalysts to replace the commercial Cu-SSZ-13 (Si/Al = 10-12) towards ammonia-assisted selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR). However, poor hydrothermal stability is a great obstacle for Al-rich zeolites to meet the catalytic applications containing water vapor. Herein, we demonstrate that the hydrothermal stability of Al-rich Cu-SSZ-13 can be dramatically enhanced via Pr-ion modification. Particularly, after high-temperature hydrothermal aging (HTA), CuPr1.2-SSZ-13-HTA with an optimal Pr content of 1.2 wt% exhibits a T80 (temperature window of NO conversion above 80%) window of 225-550 °C and a T90 window of 250-350 °C. These values are superior to those of Cu-SSZ-13-HTA (225-450 °C for T80 and no T90 window). The results of X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and spectral characterization reveal that Pr ions mainly located in the eight-membered rings (8MRs) in SSZ-13 zeolite can inhibit the generation of inactive CuOx during hydrothermal aging. This finding is further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which suggest that the presence of Pr ions restrains the transformation from Cu2+ ions in 6MRs into CuOx, resulting in enhanced hydrothermal stability. It is also noted that an excessive amount of Pr ions in Cu-SSZ-13 would result in the production of CuOx that causes the decline of catalytic performance. The present work provides a promising strategy for creating a hydrothermally stable Cu-SSZ-13 zeolite catalyst by adding secondary metal ions.

Abstract
Pd/SSZ-13 has been proposed as a passive NOx adsorber (PNA) for low-temperature NOx adsorption. However, it remains challenging for Pd/SSZ-13 to work efficiently when suffering from phosphorus poisoning. Herein, we report a simple and efficient strategy to regenerate the phosphorus-poisoned Pd/SSZ-13 based on the cooperation between hydrothermal aging treatment and Na cocations. It was found that hydrothermal aging treatment enabled the redispersion of Pd and P-containing species in phosphorus-poisoned Pd/SSZ-13. Meanwhile, the presence of Na cocations significantly reduced the formation of AlPO4 and retained more paired Al sites for highly dispersed Pd2+ ions, which was of great importance for the recovery of adsorption performance. To our satisfaction, the restoration ratio of the adsorption capacity of poisoned Pd/SSZ-13 was >90% after regeneration. Strikingly, the NOx adsorption activities of phosphorus-poisoned Pd/SSZ-13 with phosphorus loadings of 0.2 and 0.4 mmol g-1 almost completely recovered upon regeneration. This study demonstrates the promoting effect of Na cocations on the regeneration of phosphorus-poisoned Pd/SSZ-13 by hydrothermal aging treatment, which provides useful guidance for the design of PNA materials with excellent durability for cold-start application.

Abstract
Ammonia-mediated selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) is currently the key approach to abate nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from heavy-duty lean-burn vehicles. The state-of-art NH3-SCR catalysts, namely, copper ion-exchanged chabazite (Cu-CHA) zeolites, perform rather poorly at low temperatures (below 200 °C) and are thus incapable of eliminating effectively NOx emissions under cold-start conditions. Here, we demonstrate a significant promotion of low-temperature NOx reduction by reinforcing the dynamic motion of zeolite-confined Cu sites during NH3-SCR. Combining complex impedance-based in situ spectroscopy (IS) and extended density-functional tight-binding molecular dynamics simulation, we revealed an environment- and temperature-dependent nature of the dynamic Cu motion within the zeolite lattice. Further coupling in situ IS with infrared spectroscopy allows us to unravel the critical role of monovalent Cu in the overall Cu mobility at a molecular level. Based on these mechanistic understandings, we elicit a boost of NOx reduction below 200 °C by reinforcing the dynamic Cu motion in various Cu-zeolites (Cu-CHA, Cu-ZSM-5, Cu-Beta, etc.) via facile postsynthesis treatments, either in a reductive mixture at low temperatures (below 250 °C) or in a nonoxidative atmosphere at high temperatures (above 450 °C).

Abstract
Low-temperature standard NH3-SCR over copper-exchanged zeolite catalysts occurs on NH3-solvated Cu-ion active sites in a quasi-homogeneous manner. As key kinetically relevant reaction steps, the reaction intermediate CuII(NH3)4 ion hydrolyzes to CuII(OH)(NH3)3 ion to gain redox activity. The CuII(OH)(NH3)3 ion also transfers between neighboring zeolite cages to form highly reactive reaction intermediates. Via operando electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and SCR kinetic measurements and density functional theory calculations, we demonstrate here that such kinetically relevant steps become energetically more difficult with lower support Brønsted acid strength and density. Consequently, Cu/LTA displays lower Cu atomic efficiency than Cu/CHA and Cu/AEI, which can also be rationalized by considering differences in their support topology. By carrying out hydrothermal aging to eliminate support Brønsted acid sites, both CuII(NH3)4 ion hydrolysis and CuII(OH)(NH3)3 ion migration are hindered, leading to a marked decrease in Cu atomic efficiency for all catalysts.

Abstract
Benefiting from the exceptional selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH3-SCR) activity, excellent N2 selectivity, and superior hydrothermal durability, the Cu2+-exchanged zeolite catalyst with a chabazite structure (Cu-CHA) has been considered the predominant SCR catalyst in nitrogen oxide (NOx) abatement. However, sulfur poisoning remains one of the most significant deterrents to the catalyst in real applications. This review summarizes the NH3-SCR reaction mechanism on Cu-CHA, including the active sites and the nature of hydrothermal aging resistance. On the basis of the NH3-SCR reaction mechanism, the review gives a comprehensive summary of sulfate species, sulfate loading, emitted gaseous composition, and the impact of exposure temperature/time on Cu-CHA. The nature of the regeneration of sulfated catalysts is also covered in this review. The review gives a valuable summary of new insights into the matching between the design of NH3-SCR activity and sulfur resistance, highlighting the opportunities and challenges presented by Cu-CHA. Guidance for future sulfur poisoning diagnosis, effective regeneration strategies, and a design for an efficient catalyst for the aftertreatment system (ATS) are proposed to minimize the deterioration of NOx abatement in the future. Finally, we call for more attention to be paid to the effects of PO43- and metal co-cations with sulfur in the ATS.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are the major gaseous pollutants emitted by mobile sources, especially diesel engines, contribute to many environmental issues and harm human health. Selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) is proved to be one of the most efficient techniques for reducing NOx emission. Recently, Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst has been recognized as a promising candidate for NH3-SCR catalyst for reducing diesel engine NOx emissions due to its wide active temperature window and excellent hydrothermal stability. Despite being commercialized as an advanced selective catalytic reduction catalyst, Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst still confronts the challenges of low-temperature activity and hydrothermal aging to meet the increasing demands on catalytic performance and lifetime. Therefore, numerous studies have been dedicated to the improvement of NH3-SCR performance for Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst. In this review, the recent progress in NH3-SCR performance optimization of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts is summarized following three aspects: 1) modifying the Cu active sites; 2) introducing the heteroatoms or metal oxides; 3) regulating the morphology. Meanwhile, future perspectives and opportunities of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts in reducing diesel engine NOx emissions are discussed.

Abstract
The reduction of NO x emissions has become one of the most important subjects in environmental protection. Cu-containing SSZ-13 is currently the state-of-the-art catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH3-SCR-DeNO x ). Although the current-generation catalysts reveal enhanced activity and remarkable hydrothermal stability, still open challenges appear. Thus, this review focuses on the progress of Cu-containing SSZ-13 regarding preparation methods, hydrothermal resistance and poisoning as well as reaction mechanisms in NH3-SCR-DeNO x . Remarkably, the paper reviews also the progress of Cu-containing SSZ-13 in the selective ammonia oxidation into nitrogen and water vapor (NH3-SCO). The dynamics in the NH3-SCR-DeNO x and NH3-SCO fields make this review timely.

Abstract
The incorporation of secondary metal ions into Cu-exchanged SSZ-13 zeolites could improve their catalytic properties in selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ammonia (NH3-SCR), but their essential roles remain unclear at the molecular level. Herein, a series of Cu-Sm-SSZ-13 zeolites have been prepared by ion-exchanging Sm ions followed by Cu ions, which exhibit superior NH3-SCR performance. The NO conversion of Cu-Sm-SSZ-13 is nearly 10% higher than that of conventional Cu-SSZ-13 (175-250 °C) after hydrothermal ageing, showing an enhanced low-temperature activity. The Sm ions are found to occupy the six-membered rings (6MRs) of SSZ-13 by X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. The Sm ions at 6MRs can facilitate the formation of more active [ZCu2+(OH)]+ ions at 8MRs, as revealed by temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that there exists electron transfer from Sm3+ to [ZCu2+(OH)]+ ions, which promotes the activity of [ZCu2+(OH)]+ ions by decreasing the activation energy of the formation of intermediates (NH4NO2 and H2NNO). Meanwhile, the electrostatic interaction between Sm3+ and [ZCu2+(OH)]+ results in a high-reaction energy barrier for transforming [ZCu2+(OH)]+ ions into inactive CuOx species, thus enhancing the stability of [ZCu2+(OH)]+ ions. The influence of the ion-exchanging sequence of Sm and Cu ions into SSZ-13 is further investigated by combining both experiments and theoretical calculations. This work provides a mechanistic insight of secondary ions in regulating the distribution, activity, and stability of Cu active sites, which is helpful for the design of high-performance Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts for the NH3-SCR reaction.

Abstract
A series of seven Cu/SSZ-13 catalysts with Si/Al = 6.7 are used to elucidate key rate-controlling factors during low-temperature standard ammonia-selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR), via a combination of SCR kinetics and operando electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Strong Cu-loading-dependent kinetics, with Cu atomic efficiency increasing nearly by an order of magnitude, is found when per chabazite cage occupancy for Cu ion increases from ∼0.04 to ∼0.3. This is due mainly to the release of intercage Cu transfer constraints that facilitates the redox chemistry, as evidenced from detailed Arrhenius analysis. Operando EPR spectroscopy studies reveal strong connectivity between Cu-ion dynamics and SCR kinetics, based on which it is concluded that under low-temperature steady-state SCR, kinetically most relevant Cu species are those with the highest intercage mobility. Transient binuclear Cu species are mechanistically relevant species, but their splitting and cohabitation are indispensable for low-temperature kinetics.

Abstract
To control diesel vehicle NO x emissions, Cu-exchanged zeolites have been applied in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO using NH3 as reductant. However, the harsh hydrothermal environment of tailpipe conditions causes irreversible catalyst deactivation. The aggregation of isolated Cu2+ brings about unselective ammonia oxidation along with the main NH3-SCR reaction. An unusual 'dip' shaped NO conversion curve was observed in the steamed zeolite Cu-ZSM-5, resulting from the undesired NH3 oxidation that produced NO. Here we gain further insights into the NH3-SCR reaction and its deactivation by employing operando UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) on fresh and steamed zeolite Cu-ZSM-5. We found that tetragonally distorted octahedral Cu2+ with associated NH3 preferentially forms during low temperature NH3-SCR (<250 °C) in fresh Cu-ZSM-5. The high coordination number of Cu2+ ensures the availability for high coverage of nitrate intermediates. Whilst in the steamed Cu-ZSM-5, [Cu x (OH)2x-1]+ oligomers/clusters in pseudo-tetrahedral symmetry with coordinated NH3 accumulated during the low-temperature NH3-SCR reaction. These clusters presented a strong adsorption of surface NH3 and nitrates/nitric acid at low temperatures and therefore limited the reaction between surface species in the steamed Cu-ZSM-5. Further release of NH3 with increased reaction temperature favors NH3 oxidation that causes the drop of NO conversion at ∼275 °C. Moreover, competitive adsorption of NH3 and nitrates/nitric acid occurs on shared Lewis-acidic adsorption sites. Prompt removal of surface nitrates/nitric acid by NO avoids the surface blockage and tunes the selectivity by alternating nitrate-nitrite equilibrium. The formation of adsorbed NO2 and HNO x points to the necessity of an acid adsorbent in practical applications. The structural similarity under the NH3-SCR reaction and unselective NH3 oxidation confirmed the entanglement of these two reactions above 250 °C.

Abstract
The passive NOx adsorber (PNA) material has been considered an effective candidate for the control of NOx from diesel exhaust during the engine cold start stage, and Pd/SSZ-13 attracts peoples’ attention mainly due to its superior hydrothermal stability and sulfur resistance. However, chemical poisoning tolerance of Pd/SSZ-13 is another key parameter to its practical application and future development. Herein, we prepared potassium-loaded Pd/SSZ-13 and evaluated the influence on NOx adsorption ability. The characterization results revealed that the loading of potassium could not destruct the structure of SSZ-13 but impaired the BET surface area and pore structure through the sintering of Pd species to PdO. Meanwhile, the grown PdO phase restrained the NOx adsorption ability and promoted the generation of NO2 at high temperatures. Moreover, the presence of H2O could also impair the NOx adsorption ability due to the competitive adsorption between H2O and NOx. This work verifies that the design of Pd/SSZ-13 sample with stable Pd species and excellent hydrophobicity is significant for its further application under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Zeolites, as efficient and stable catalysts, are widely used in the environmental catalysis field. Typically, Cu-SSZ-13 with small-pore structure shows excellent catalytic activity for selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH3-SCR) as well as high hydrothermal stability. This review summarizes major advances in Cu-SSZ-13 applied to the NH3-SCR reaction, including the state of copper species, standard and fast SCR reaction mechanism, hydrothermal deactivation mechanism, poisoning resistance and synthetic methodology. The review gives a valuable summary of new insights into the matching between SCR catalyst design principles and the characteristics of Cu2+-exchanged zeolitic catalysts, highlighting the significant opportunity presented by zeolite-based catalysts. Principles for designing zeolites with excellent NH3-SCR performance and hydrothermal stability are proposed. On the basis of these principles, more hydrothermally stable Cu-AEI and Cu-LTA zeolites are elaborated as well as other alternative zeolites applied to NH3-SCR. Finally, we call attention to the challenges facing Cu-based small-pore zeolites that still need to be addressed.

Abstract
Cu-SSZ-13 suffers activity loss after hydrothermal treatment at high temperatures, particularly above 850 °C. The stability of Cu-SSZ-13 can be enhanced by compositing with H-SAPO-34. This work investigates the effect of aging temperature on the composites. For the structure, the extra-framework P in H-SAPO-34 migrates and interacts with the Al in Cu-SSZ-13, forming a new framework P-Al bond. This interaction is enhanced with the increment of the aging temperature. For the cupric sites, the aging at 750 °C results in the agglomeration of Cu2+ ions to CuO. However, the sample aged at 800 °C exhibits higher activities than that aged at 750 °C, which might be attributed to the increased formation of framework P-Al bonds promoting the redispersion of CuO to Cu2+ ions. The composite suffers severe deactivation due to the significant loss of Cu2+ ions after aging at 850 °C.

Improvement of Alkali Metal Resistance for NH3-SCR Catalyst Cu/SSZ-13: Tune the Crystal Size. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
To improve the alkali metal resistance of commercial catalyst Cu/SSZ-13 for ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) reaction, a simple method to synthesize Cu/SSZ-13 with a core–shell like structure was developed. Compared with smaller-sized counterparts, Cu/SSZ-13 with a crystal size of 2.3 μm exhibited excellent resistance to Na poisoning. To reveal the influence of the crystal size on Cu/SSZ-13, physical structure characterization (XRD, BET, SEM, NMR) and chemical acidic distribution (H2-TPR, UV-Vis, Diethylamine-TPD, pyridine-DRIFTs, EDS) were investigated. It was found that the larger the crystal size of the molecular sieve, the more Cu is distributed in the crystal core, and the less likely it was to be replaced by Na to generate CuO. Therefore, a 2.3 μm sized Cu/SSZ-13 well-controlled the reactivity of the side reaction NH3 oxidation and the generation of N2O. The result was helpful to guide the extension of the service life of Cu/SSZ-13.

Abstract
Comparative studies over micro-/mesoporous Cu-containing zeolites ZSM-5 prepared by top-down treatment involving NaOH, TPAOH or mixture of NaOH/TPAOH (tetrapropylammonium hydroxide) were conducted. The results of the catalytic data revealed the highest activity of the Cu-ZSM-5 catalyst both in the absence and presence of water vapor. The physico-chemical characterization (diffuse reflectance UV-Vis (DR UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of NOx (TPD-NOx), and microkinetic modeling) results indicated that the microporous structure of ZSM-5 effectively stabilized isolated Cu ion monomers. Besides the attempts targeted to the modification of the textural properties of the parent ZSM-5, in the next approach, we studied the effect of the co-presence of sodium and copper cations in the microporous H-ZSM-5. The presence of co-cation promoted the evolution of [Cu–O–Cu]2+ dimers that bind NOx strongly with the desorption energy barrier of least 80 kJ mol−1. Water presence in the gas phase significantly decreases the rate of ammonia oxidation, while the reaction rates and activation energies of NH3-SCR remain unaffected.

Abstract
The present work is focused on the effect of water on NH3 adsorption over Cu-CHA SCR catalysts. For this purpose, samples characterized by different SAR (SiO2/Al2O3) ratios and Cu loadings were studied under both dry and wet conditions. H2O adversely affects NH3 adsorption on Lewis acid sites (Cu ions) over all the tested catalysts, as indicated by the decreased NH3 desorption at low temperature during TPD. Interestingly, the NH3/Cu ratio, herein regarded as an index for the speciation of Cu cations, fell in the range of 3–4 (in the presence of gaseous NH3) or 1–2 (no gaseous NH3) in dry conditions, in line with the formation of different NH3-solvated Cu species (e.g., [CuII(NH3)4]2+ and [CuII(OH)(NH3)3]+ with gaseous NH3, [Z2CuII(NH3)2]2+ and [ZCuII(OH)(NH3)]+ without gaseous NH3). When H2O was fed to the system, on the contrary, the NH3/Cu ratio was always close to 3 (or 1), while the Brønsted acidity was slightly increased. These results are consistent both with competition between H2O and NH3 for adsorption on Lewis sites and with the hydrolysis of a fraction of Z2CuII species into ZCuIIOH.

Abstract
The abatement of the pollutants deriving from diesel engines in the vehicle sector still represents an interesting scientific and technological challenge due to increasingly limiting regulations. Meeting the stringent limits of NOx and soot emissions requires a catalytic system with great complexity, size of units, and number of units, as well as increased fuel consumption. Thus, an after-treatment device for a diesel vehicle requires the use of an integrated catalyst technology for a reduction in the individual emissions of exhaust gas. The representative technologies devoted to the reduction of NOx under lean-burn operation conditions are selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and the lean NOx trap (LNT), while soot removal is mainly performed by filters (DPF). These devices are normally used in sequence, or a combination of them has been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the individual devices. This review summarizes the current state of NOx and soot abatement strategies. The main focus of this review is on combined technologies for NOx removal (i.e., LNT–SCR) and for the simultaneous removal of NOx and soot, like SCR-on-Filter (SCRoF), in series LNT/DPF and SCR/DPF, and LNT/DPF and SCR/DPF hybrid systems.

Abstract
The role of Cu species in Cu ion-exchanged IM-5 zeolite (Cu-IM-5) regarding the performance in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) and the reaction mechanism was studied. Based on H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results, Cu–O–Cu and isolated Cu species are suggested as main Cu species existing in Cu-IM-5 and are active for SCR reaction. Cu–O–Cu species show a good NH3-SCR activity at temperatures below 250 °C, whereas their NH3 oxidation activity at higher temperatures hinders the SCR performance. At low temperatures, NH4NO3 and NH4NO2 are key reaction intermediates. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) suggests a mixed Eley–Rideal (E–R) and Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L–H) mechanism over Cu-IM-5 at low temperatures.

Abstract
Dynamic motion of NH3-solvated Cu sites in Cu-chabazite (Cu-CHA) zeolites, which are the most promising and state-of-the-art catalysts for ammonia-assisted selective reduction of NOx (NH3-SCR) in the aftertreatment of diesel exhausts, represents a unique phenomenon linking heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. This review first summarizes recent advances in the theoretical understanding of such low-temperature Cu dynamics. Specifically, evidence of both intra-cage and inter-cage Cu motions, given by ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) or metadynamics simulations, will be highlighted. Then, we will show how, among others, synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy, vibrational and optical spectroscopy (diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and diffuse reflection ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (DRUVS)), electron paramagnetic spectroscopy (EPR), and impedance spectroscopy (IS) can be combined and complement each other to follow the evolution of coordinative environment and the local structure of Cu centers during low-temperature NH3-SCR reactions. Furthermore, the essential role of Cu dynamics in the tuning of low-temperature Cu redox, in the preparation of highly dispersed Cu-CHA catalysts by solid-state ion exchange method, and in the direct monitoring of NH3 storage and conversion will be presented. Based on the achieved mechanistic insights, we will discuss briefly the new perspectives in manipulating Cu dynamics to improve low-temperature NH3-SCR efficiency as well as in the understanding of other important reactions, such as selective methane-to-methanol oxidation and ethene dimerization, catalyzed by metal ion-exchanged zeolites.
