Abstract：

The selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3‐SCR) is one of the widely used NOx control strategies for stationary sources (particularly for power plants) and mobile sources (particularly for diesel vehicles). The application is aimed at meeting the increasingly stringent standards for NOx emissions. Recently, ceria has attracted much attention for its applications in NH3‐SCR catalysts owing to its unique redox, oxygen storage, and acid‐base properties. In this article, we comprehen‐ sively review recent studies on ceria for NH3‐SCR catalysts when used as support, promoter, or the main active component. In addition, the general development of ceria for NH3‐SCR catalysts is dis‐ cussed.
