Abstract
It is reported that cyclic voltammetry (CV) is a strong tool to investigate catalytic reactions not only in homogeneous catalysis, but also in heterogeneous catalysis. The application of CV measurements in homogeneous catalysis is illustrated through investigation of NO removal (NO reduction and decomposition), which is an urgent task of today in environment catalysis. Results of our study indicate that both the area of redox peak and the symmetry of redox potentials of catalyst are important parameters in determining the catalytic activity, but each has his strong point in different reactions (NO reduction and decomposition). We suggest that CV is a powerful means to select catalysts for NOx removal.
