Current emissions systems have higher &#8220;light-off&#8221; temperatures, so they are ineffective until the exhaust catalyst has become hot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This discovery may represent a paradigm shift in understanding catalytic behavior and potentially could significantly increase the rates of many catalytic processes of industrial interests,&#8221; Donohue said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.jhu.edu\/2018\/06\/01\/reduce-emissions-exhaust-catalyst-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Excerpted from The Hub &gt;&gt;<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-16875","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news_categories-research"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
