High-Temperature Behavior of Laser Electrodispersion-Prepared Pd/ZSM-5 Hydrocarbon Traps under CO Oxidation Conditions.

Zeolites and metal-doped zeolites are now widely considered as low-temperature hydrocarbon traps to be a part of emission control systems in automobiles. However, due to the high temperature of exhaust gases, the thermal stability of such sorbent materials is of great concern. To avoid the thermal instability problem, in the present work, laser electrodispersion was used to deposit Pd particles on the surface of ZSM-5 zeolite grains (SiO/AlO = 55 and SiO/AlO = 30) to obtain Pd/ZSM-5 materials with a Pd loading as low as 0.

Studies on High-Temperature Evolution of Low-Loaded Pd Three-Way Catalysts Prepared by Laser Electrodispersion.

Pd/AlO catalyst of the "crust" type with Pd loading of 0.03 wt.% was prepared by the deposition of 2 nm Pd particles on the outer surface of the alumina support using laser electrodispersion (LED).
