In this Review, we discuss catalytic systems for soot combustion. The focus is on alkali-
containing materials since they exhibit the most promising and platinum group metal (PGM) …

The present report describes the structural and physical–chemical variations of the
potassium manganese oxide mineral, α–MnO2, which is a specific manganese octahedral …

Two series of cryptomelane doped with Cu 2+ and Ag+ ions were synthesized by
coprecipitation method, and additionally impregnated with Ca 2+, Co 2+ and Ag+ ions to …

A cryptomelane K-OMS-2 model catalyst of a well-defined nanorod morphology, dominated
by the (100) and (110) planes, was synthesized, and thoroughly examined by means of …

Two series of cryptomelane doped with d 0 ions (Zr 4+, V 5+, Mo 6+, W 6+) were synthesized
by impregnation and coprecipitation methods. The obtained samples were characterized in …

A series of nanofibrous K-Mn-Ce composite oxide catalysts were prepared via a centrifugal
spinning method for the first time, and their physicochemical properties were studied. The …

The soot emitted during the operation of diesel engine exhaust seriously threatens the
human health and environment, so treating diesel engine exhaust is critical. At present, the …

Catalytic performance of 3 and 5 wt.% of vanadia, supported on zirconia, zirconia-ceria, and
zirconia-yttria, tested in the combustion of soot without and in the presence of NO was …

The hydrothermal approach was used to develop a sequence of copper-doped KOMS2,
which was applied for soot oxidation. XRD pattern showed the tetragonal phase of KOMS2 …

Niobium‐doped ceria catalysts were synthesized to study soot oxidation activity. X‐Ray
diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis of the samples revealed the presence of a fluorite …
