This research focuses on developing cost-effective and stable catalysts for industrial use in reducing harmful nitrogen oxides (NO) emissions from exhaust gases. A novel catalyst with improved structure and surface properties was created, showing high efficiency in converting NO to less harmful substances at lower temperatures. Additionally, a cheaper catalyst with enhanced resistance to oxygen was developed, maintaining high performance even in challenging conditions. The study provides insights into the catalysts' mechanisms, contributing to cleaner air and environmental protection. These advancements offer practical solutions for industries to meet emission regulations and reduce air pollution
