Disclosed is a catalytic material of a calcined noble metal-doped hydrous titanium oxide with a copper promoter compound. The catalytic material is effective for NO.sub.x reduction in an oxidizing exhaust stream form a combustion process is disclosed. Also described is a device for reduction of nitrogen oxides in an exhaust stream, particularly an automotive exhaust stream, that includes a substrate coated with the activated noble-metal doped hydrous metal oxide of the invention and methods for preparing the device.

Material and system for catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide in an

A catalytic material of activated hydrous metal oxide doped with platinum, palladium, or a combination of these, and optionally containing an alkali or alkaline earth metal, that is effective for NO.sub.X reduction in an oxidizing exhaust stream from a combustion process is disclosed. A device for reduction of nitrogen oxides in an exhaust stream, particularly an automotive exhaust stream, the device having a substrate coated with the activated noble-metal doped hydrous metal oxide of the invention is also provided.

A material effective for adsorbing NO.sub.x from an exhaust stream of a combustion process, such as from an internal combustion engine operating under lean burn conditions, is disclosed. The material comprises an alkali metal-doped and copper-doped hydrous metal oxide material that has been calcined. The alkali metal is selected from potassium and sodium. The material is coated onto a substrate, such as ceramic beads or pellets, or a honeycomb cordierite monolith, and placed in contact with the exhaust stream.
