A series of Cu–SAPO-18 catalysts with various Cu loadings were prepared and their catalytic activities were tested for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH₃. The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption, TEM, XPS, UV–vis DRS, H₂-TPR, NH₃-TPD and EPR. Isolated Cu²⁺ ions are confirmed to be the catalytic active sites. Cu-4.42 catalyst exhibits high NO conversion (>80%) at the lowest temperature of 200 °C among all catalysts. It can be attributed to the maximum amount of isolated Cu²⁺ ions in Cu-4.42 catalyst. DFT calculations show that the isolated Cu ions are located in the pear shaped cavity and exhibit a preference for the neighboring of 6R planes of Cu–SAPO-18. NH₃–SCR mechanism over Cu–SAPO-18 catalyst is elucidated by a combination of in situ DRIFTS technique and DFT calculations, in which the dissociation of NH₃ and the oxidation of NO are shown to be key steps in the reaction.
