摘要

Mixing dopants into oxide catalysts can improve their catalytic activity, as shown in the dramatic boost of the NH3 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity on vanadia catalysts upon doping by tungsten. Here, we employ first-principles calculations to study the influence of selected dopants (Ce, Zr, Nb, Mo, and W) in vanadia on the SCR activity in terms of dopant concentration, distribution, and species. We demonstrate how the dopants affect the stoichiometry of the catalyst and thus finetune the local electron distribution and polarization in the catalytic layer. In addition, we address the relation between dopant concentration and the population of the active vanadyl configuration on the surface. Finally, we propose the generalized surface stoichiometry of the doped vanadia catalysts as a descriptor for the SCR catalytic activity, which promises to be instrumental in identifying oxide catalysts with improved properties also for other important catalytic reactions.
