description The role of Cu species in Cu ion-exchanged IM-5 zeolite (Cu-IM-5) regarding the performance in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> with NH<sub>3</sub> (NH<sub>3</sub>-SCR) and the reaction mechanism was studied. Based on H<sub>2</sub> temperature-programmed reduction (H<sub>2</sub>-TPR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results, Cu–O–Cu and isolated Cu species are suggested as main Cu species existing in Cu-IM-5 and are active for SCR reaction. Cu–O–Cu species show a good NH<sub>3</sub>-SCR activity at temperatures below 250 °C, whereas their NH<sub>3</sub> oxidation activity at higher temperatures hinders the SCR performance. At low temperatures, NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> and NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>2</sub> are key reaction intermediates. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) suggests a mixed Eley–Rideal (E–R) and Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L–H) mechanism over Cu-IM-5 at low temperatures.
