Cover Story: The work carried out in this study was in collaboration with Croda Europe. The key aims were to determine whether Mn-doped titania could remove NO or SO2 gases. The work used two systems to investigate the reaction with NO and SO2 with Mn-doped titania surfaces using in situ near-ambient-pressure photoelectron spectroscopy. An atomically clean TiO2(110) rutile single crystal dosed with Mn was used to examine the reaction between the gases and the titania surface under idealized conditions. This allowed the identification of sulfates and nitrate species at the surface upon exposure to the gases. Croda Mn-doped nanoparticles were then studied, drawing on the information from the single crystal work to confirm that sulfates and nitrates formed again. This suggests that these materials can reduce exposure to oxidizing gases such as SO2 and NO. View this paper
