In setting tighter emissions standards for nitrogen oxides, legislative bodies limit the amount of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) permitted in exhaust. The disclosed catalysts can be coated on a support device in a diesel engine exhaust system to increase the reduction of NO2 to nitric oxide (NO). The disclosed coating comprises titanium dioxide, preferably in the form of rutile, comprising approximately 94% titanium dioxide and also comprising zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide, iron(III) oxide, chromium oxide, vanadium oxide and aluminum oxide. In certain embodiments, a second coating comprised of palladium may be placed over the first coating of titanium dioxide or rutile. |
