What is Catalytic combustion for cleaner burning: Innovative catalysts for low temperature diesel soot abatement about?

In various combustion reaction systems, undesired by-products may form, including soot [1]. Among the internal combustion engines, Diesel and gasoline direct injection (GDI) ones are widely diffused due to their high efficiency, durability, and low concentration of CO and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. But their main drawback is the higher emission of soot or particulate matter (PM), responsible of severe environmental and health issues. In fact, PM presents a significant health hazard as it causes respiratory, cardiovascular and mutagenic diseases (such as lung and bladder cancer) and skin cell modifications [2]. Moreover, HC can react with nitrogen monoxide in the presence of sunlight to form ozone which irritates the lung [3,4]. According to Johnson et al. [5] and Kittelson [6], PM (often called soot) consists of a carbonaceous core with an agglomerated structure that forms in the combustion chamber by incomplete combustion, with size in the range 5-500 nm [7]. According to Klingenberg the core has a graphite-like structure [8]. There is an agreement that the most common reaction pathway to soot, considering that PAHs are thought to be the precursors of soot particles, involves the
