Perovskite-type catalysts were widely used in the field of automobile exhaust purification due to their inherent physicochemical properties and excellent doping characteristics. A series of La_1−xM_xCo_1−yN_yO₃ (M = Ce, Ca; N = Fe, Mn) perovskite-type catalyst samples were prepared by sol-gel method for the four-way purification of PM, NO_x, CO, and HC emitted by diesel exhaust. The activity of catalyst samples was tested by simulation experiments and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). Catalyst samples were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, SEM, BET, and XPS analysis. The results demonstrated that the perovskite-type catalyst samples with a particle pore size of 3–5 μm can be prepared by sol-gel method. When A-site of LaCoO₃ perovskite-type oxide was doped by cerium ions, the catalyst samples produced small distortion. The doping of cerium ions to A-site was more conducive to the four-way purification of diesel exhaust than calcium ions. La_0.8Ce_0.2CoO₃ perovskite-type samples showed the best purification efficiency, and the purification efficiencies of PM, NO_x, CO, and HC were 90%, 85%, 94%, and 100%, respectively. When the B-site of La_0.8Ce_0.2CoO₃ perovskite was doped with iron ions, the purification efficiency of catalyst samples for PM and NO_x can be further enhanced. When the B-site of La_0.8Ce_0.2CoO₃ perovskite was doped with manganese ions, the purification efficiency of the catalyst samples for PM can be further enhanced. It can be seen from the simulation experiments that La_0.8Ce_0.2Co_0.7Fe_0.3O₃ perovskite was the best doping amount, and the purification efficiencies of PM, NO_x, CO, and HC were 95%, 92%, 94%, and 100%, respectively.

Passenger fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) require high-gain DC/DC converters to achieve voltage matching between the low-power fuel cell (FC) stack (50–200 V) and the vehicle DC bus (400–800 V). To address the challenges in existing step-up DC/DC converters in relation to balancing the requirements of high voltage gain, wide input voltage range, low input current ripple and voltage stress, the common ground of input–output, and high efficiency in passenger FCV applications, this paper proposes three types of high-gain DC/DC converters based on an interleaved structure, incorporating quadratic Boost, quasi-Z source, and switched-inductor impedance networks. These designs effectively balance the scenario requirements of passenger FCVs. Meanwhile, taking one of the proposed converters (Interleaved-Quadratic Boost; I-QB) as an example, its steady-state performance such as voltage gain is analyzed and compared in detail with existing voltage step-up DC/DC converters. Furthermore, a scaled-down SiC-based experimental platform is constructed. Steady-state experiments validate the converter’s maximum voltage step-up capability of ten times, wide input voltage range of 30–80 V, input current ripple of less than 0.3 A, and low voltage stress on devices (≤U_o/2), thereby confirming the feasibility of these converters and the correctness of the performance analysis. The dynamic experimental results indicated that under input voltage step changes of 50–80 V and 100–50% load step changes, the I-QB converter exhibits a minor voltage overshoot with settling time under 200 ms. The prototype achieves a peak efficiency of 94.2%, confirming these converters’ suitability for passenger FCV powertrains.
