Noble metal decorated tin oxide: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Ruthenium dissolution in acidic environments causes rapid catalyst failure and high replacement costs. Surface decoration with platinum oxide stabilizes the active metal centers to extend electrode lifespan.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Noble metal decorated tin oxide?

Incomplete small engine combustion

(25)evidences

Internal combustion engines produce harmful pollutants that fail environmental regulatory standards. Reducing these emissions ensures compliance and minimizes environmental impact.

Low temperature catalyst inactivity

(11)evidences

Low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons is insufficient in standard exhaust streams. Reducing these hazardous emissions is required to meet environmental regulatory standards.

Catalytic sulfur poisoning

(10)evidences

Untreated formaldehyde, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons in exhaust streams pose severe environmental and health risks. Mitigating these specific emissions ensures compliance with air quality standards and reduces atmospheric contamination.
