Here, a series of Cu,H/SSZ-13 and Cu,Na/SSZ-13 catalysts were synthesized, degreened and hydrothermally aged for use in the standard NH₃-SCR reaction. Surface area/pore volume and XRD analyses were used to probe the textural properties of the catalysts. H₂-TPR and EPR were utilized to quantitatively describe the various Cu species. NH₃-SCR was tested at both a lower space velocity to probe the light-off behavior, and at a higher space velocity to generate data for kinetic analysis. Na⁺ co-cation addition was found to promote turnover rates of isolated Cu-ions at low reaction temperatures. However, this promoting effect is compromised by decreases in Cu exchange capacity and hydrothermal stability of the Cu,Na/SSZ-13 catalysts.
