Center Organizations and Research Contents
Group 1: Design of catalyst for low-temperature vehicle exhaust purification
Professors Sung June Cho, Hyun Joo Lee, and Jeong Woo Han
Group 1 is devoted to developing novel metal oxidation catalysts and metal oxide reduction catalysts based on fundamental understanding of relevant surface reactions determined from computational tools.
Group 2: Design of a multi-purpose (catalyst/adsorbent) filter
Professors Kwan-Young Lee, Ki Bong Lee, Hyun Wook Jung, Jung Kyu Choi, and Dae Won Lee
Group 2 aims to develop a filter than can both serve as a catalyst and adsorbent. More specifically, catalysts for low-temperature combustion of PM (particulate matter) and high-capacity adsorbent for NOx and HC designed for low-temperature adsorption and high-temperature desorption are being developed.
Group 3: Design of high-efficiency, high-durability automobile catalytic purification system
Professors Do Heui Kim, and Jong Min Lee
Group 3 aims to develop catalysts with high resistance to poisoning and thermal stress as well as a system to control and diagnose exhaust gas purification system.
Achievements
SULEEV center has been very productive, having published 111 papers and 134 patent applications in the last 5 years (2016-2020). In addition, it has promoted international collaboration, organizing 5 international academic conferences, making 100 presentations, and promoting joint research with many overseas universities and research institutes.
Representative paper
Highly durable metal ensemble catalysts with full dispersion for automotive applications beyond single-atom catalysts
Nature catalysis. 3 (2020) 368-375

CMT-Motores Térmicos
CMT-Motores Térmicos With over 40 years of experience in transportation, CMT is now combining expertise in advanced low temperature combustion, synthetic fuels and hybridization to attain deep transport decarbonization. Contact information Dr. Antonio García (angarma8@mot.upv.es) Phone: +34 963876559 Fax: +34 963876559 The success of CMT and its projects is built upon teamwork and close relationships with leading OEMs. Within the organization, the compression ignition combustion and hybrid investigation teams are combining low temperature combustion with synthetic fuels and hybridization to attain deep transport decarbonization. The following provides details on a collaborative project including CMT-Motores Térmicos, Aramco Overseas and Volvo GTT. The combustion research group has been working on extending the benefits of low-temperature combustion for several years. This effort has led to the development of the “Dual-Mode Dual-Fuel (DMDF)” combustion concept. Figure 1 provides a conceptual description. The combustion mode relies on exploring the benefits of the fully premixed RCCI combustion to the greatest extent. Nevertheless, as the combustion starts to be limited by pressure gradients, the in-cylinder equivalence ratio stratification is increased by means of modifying the injection timing of the high reactivity fuel. Figure 2 shows the benefits of DMDF on lowering engine-out NOx and soot emissions,
