A microkinetic model for fast NOx SCR on isolated Cu2+ in the zeolite SSZ-13 was hypothesized and then evaluated using DFT calculations on a six T-site cluster model.  The resulting energy pathway, integrated density of states, and thermodynamic evaluation, all provide evidence of Cu2+ as a viable active site.
