Mn-based catalysts are the most promising catalysts for low-temperature NH3-SCR, but improving N2 selectivity still faces great challenges. Herein, the tubular structure TiO2–SO42−/MnSm assembled from nanosheets was developed, which exhibited superior NO removal efficiency and outstanding N2 selectivity over a wide operation temperature window in NH3-SCR. It was experimentally proven that sulfation treatment disturbs the lattice of TiO2 to effectively promote the generation of oxygen vacancies and raise the proportion of weak acid sites. In addition, Sm modification greatly improved the dispersion of active species and enhanced the metal–support interaction, which promoted the interfacial electron transfer to modulate the activation capacity of NH3 to reduce the generation of N2O. Importantly, DFT calculations and in situ DRIFTS revealed that the generation of N2O originated from the over-oxidation of NH3 and non-selective catalytic reduction via E–R or L–H mechanism, which required higher Gibbs free energy on catalyst TiO2–SO42−/MnSm. This work highlights a new insight into improving the N2 selectivity of Mn-based catalysts in NH3-SCR.
