Potential Technical Approaches for Improving Low‐Temperature NOx Conversion of Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems

Abstract Lean‐burn engines, such as diesel engines, are widely used in mobile and stationary applications. Operation of lean‐burn engines leads to formation of distinct amounts of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO 2 ). Efficient aftertreatment is mandatory to meet legal requirements, especially at low exhaust temperatures, as for the future a decline of the exhaust temperature level can be predicted due to improved engine efficiencies. Within this review, potential technical solutions to enhance the DeNO x ‐aftertreatment efficiency at low exhaust temperatures are presented.
