A series of TiO₂-supported MO_x catalysts (M=V, W, Ce, Cu and S) were investigated for their SCR activity. In situ Raman spectroscopy indicated that the supported MO_x phases were completely dispersed as surface sites on the TiO₂ support. In situ IR revealed that surface VO_x, WO_x and SO_x sites anchored at both CeO_x/CuO_x and TiO₂ sites. The number of surface Lewis acid sites decreased with the addition of basic (CeO_x/CuO_x) and acidic (VO_x/WO_x) sites in all catalysts, and acidic SO_x in the unpromoted and Ce-promoted catalysts. The surface VO_x, WO_x and SO_x sites introduced surface Brønsted acid sites. The redox promoters increased the NO conversion, but SO_x impregnation inhibited their effect due to acid (SO_x)-base (CeO_x/CuO_x) interactions. Finally, the SCR reaction was shown to efficiently proceed via either surface NH₃* or NH₄^+* species, resolving the long-standing dispute on the involvement of these species in the SCR reaction.
