Because NO 2 constitutes less than 10% of NO x in the diesel engine-out exhaust, an oxidation catalyst is required to increase the NO 2 fraction. Platinum has been found to be especially active for NO oxidation; thus, Pt-based diesel oxidation (DOC) and LNT catalysts have been widely used for diesel exhaust aftertreatment. Science Vol.
