In one embodiment, a catalyst configuration, comprises: a substrate, a NiO layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the NiO layer comprises greater than or equal to about 75 wt % of the NiO in the catalyst configuration; and a catalyst layer comprising a NOx adsorbing catalyst. In another embodiment, a catalyst configuration, comprises: a substrate, a catalyst layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the catalyst layer comprises a NOx adsorbing catalyst and thermally treated NiO. In one embodiment, the method for making a NOx adsorber comprises: thermally treating NiO to a temperature of about a maximum catalyst application temperature minus 100° C. and the maximum catalyst application temperature, disposing a catalyst configuration on the substrate, wherein the catalyst configuration comprises the thermally treated NiO and a NOx adsorption catalyst, and disposing the substrate in a housing.
