• Rh/NbOPO 4 exhibits higher activity for NO reduction than Pd- or Pt-loaded catalysts. • Rh/NbOPO 4 shows high NO reduction activity in a slightly lean region. • Rh/NbOPO 4 showed high activity for C 3 H 6 oxidation to reactive aldehyde species. • Rh/NbOPO 4 possesses resistance of Rh0 against oxidation. The selective catalytic reduction of NO with C 3 H 6 and CO was investigated over platinum group metal (PGM; Pd, Rh, or Pt) supported on NbOPO 4. Rh/NbOPO 4 exhibits a lower light-off temperature of NO reduction to N 2 compared to Pd- or Pt-loaded NbOPO 4 catalysts and Rh/Al 2 O 3 under stoichiometric conditions. Rh/NbOPO 4 shows superior catalytic activity for NO reduction to Rh/Al 2 O 3 under a wide range of lean conditions. Propylene (C 3 H 6) was partially oxidized to reactive aldehyde species on Rh/NbOPO 4 , whereas less-reactive carboxylate species was generated and adsorbed on Rh/Al 2 O 3. A highly dispersed Rh0 nanoparticles on NbOPO 4 was slowly oxidized by exposure to excess O 2 , but Rh on Al 2 O 3 was readily oxidized to less-active Rh 2 O 3. The high activity of Rh/NbOPO 4 for C 3 H 6 oxidation to reactive aldehyde species and the resistance of Rh0 against oxidation results in the enhancement of NO reduction activity in a slightly lean region.
