ISELIN: A team of BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS) and Heesung Catalysts Corporation (HCC) scientists was recently awarded a 2024 Edison Patent Award by the Research and Development Council of New Jersey for an innovative Three-Way Conversion Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Trap technology for fuel-cut NOx control in gasoline vehicles. The technology treats NOx well under modern engine operating conditions and provides lower tailpipe emissions in comparison with conventional three-way conversion catalysts.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the award-winning team consisted of ECMS scientists Xiaolai Zheng and Pat Burk (retired), along with HCC scientists Jinwoo Song and Jun Lee. The innovative technology represents a significant advancement in emission control for gasoline vehicles, addressing environmental concerns by reducing harmful emissions.
