BACKGROUND

[0002] Lean burn engines are considered as one of the power technologies for coping with the increasingly severe global energy crisis and preventing climate change due to their high fuel economy and low carbon emission advantages. NOx x storage-reduction (NOx x Storage and Reduction, NSR) is a relatively efficient NOx x purification technology suitable for lean burn engines. The NSR technology is divided into two processes, namely, lean phase catalyst storage of NOx x (absorption temperature interval is usually 80-160 DEG C), and desorption of NOx x in the rich phase is reduced to N2 (desorption temperature interval is usually 200-400 DEG C).

[0003] Typical NSR catalyst systems include noble metal type (Pt, Pd, etc.), perovskite type, and hydrotalcite type. At present, most of the research on NSR technology is focused on the optimization and development of NSR catalysts themselves to improve the catalytic activity of the catalysts in a wider temperature window, but it does not fundamentally solve the defects of traditional thermal catalytic NSR technology, that is, the adsorption of NOx x in the lean phase requires low temperature conditions (80-160 DEG C), and the desorption-reduction of NOx x in the rich phase requires high temperature conditions (200-400 DEG C), and traditional thermal catalysis cannot provide a reaction temperature that instantaneously changes synchronously with the lean-rich combustion cycle. SUMMARY

The present application can instantaneously change the temperature of the conductive catalyst by periodically changing the current, voltage, or power in the lean-rich combustion input, without the need for an external heating source.

[0008] Further, the time of one lean combustion stage is 60-180 s, and the time of one rich combustion stage is 10-60 s. Controlling the alternating time of the lean combustion stage and the rich combustion stage can improve the NO x conversion rate and N2 selectivity.

Controlling the lean combustion atmosphere and the rich combustion atmosphere can improve the NO x conversion rate and N2 selectivity.

[0010] Further, the electric conductivity of the conductive catalyst is 10 -7 -10 5 S / m. The conductive catalyst can flexibly respond to the input of electric power, and instantaneously change the temperature of the conductive catalyst.

[0011] Further, the conductive catalyst comprises a conductive carrier, an alkaline storage component, and an active component.

[0012] Further, the loading amount of the alkaline storage component is 1-20 wt.%, and the loading amount of the active component is 0.5-3 wt.%. The conductive carrier provides the catalyst with conductive ability, the alkaline storage component can improve the NO x storage capacity of the catalyst, and the active component constitutes the redox center of the catalyst.

[0013] Further, the conductive carrier is selected from one or more of the following: tin antimony oxide, indium tin oxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, titanium nitride, zirconium nitride, tungsten bronze, La x N1-x MO3 perovskite, transition metal carbon / nitride.

[0014] Further, the basic storage component is barium oxide and / or potassium carbonate.
