The strong oxidation capabilities of Mn sites render Mn-based catalysts showing high activities of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) at temperatures < 250℃, but simultaneously lead to the generation of by-product N 2 O with strong greenhouse effect. The activity-N 2 -selectivity trade-off was a prevalent observation in the development of Mn-based SCR catalysts. Here, a polyoxometallic acid enhancement strategy was devised to simultaneously promote the N 2 selectivity and low-temperature SCR (LT-SCR) activity of Mn-based metal oxide catalysts, where the introduction of uniformly dispersed phosphomolybdic acid (HPMo) tuned the oxidation capabilities and enhanced NH 3 adsorption-storage capability of catalysts. The combination of transient reaction, in-situ DRIFTS analysis and DFT calculations revealed that the main origin of N 2 O on the Mn-based catalysts was the deep oxidation of NH 3 , which was inhibited by the interaction between HPMo and Mn sites. Additional NH 3 molecules adsorbed by the abundant acid sites supplied by HPMo further facilitated the SCR reaction. This strategy could guide the design of high-activity and high-selectivity LT-SCR catalysts for industrial denitration. [Display omitted] • The introduction of HPMo tuned the oxidation abilities and enhanced the acidity. • The loading of HPMo can inhibit the oxidation of NO to NO 2 and deep oxidation of NH 3. • Abundant acid sites supplied by HPMo can accelerate the SCR reaction. • The activity-selectivity trade-off can be broken by the modification of HPMo.
