This work presented the influence of metal oxides as the support for silver-supported catalysts on the catalytic oxidation of diesel particulate matter (DPM). The supports selected to be used in this work were CeO (reducible), ZnO (semiconductor), TiO (reducible and semiconductor), and AlO (acidic). The properties of the synthesized catalysts were investigated using XRD, TEM, H-TPR, and XPS techniques.

Isoconversional and master-plots techniques were employed to estimate activation energy and identify the reaction model. The apparent activation energy of uncatalyzed soot oxidation was 101.
