The lack of efficient catalysts with a wide working temperature window and vital O2 and SO2 resistance for selective catalytic reduction of NO by CO (CO‐SCR) largely hinders its implementation. Here, a novel Ir‐based catalyst with only 1 wt% Ir loading is reported for efficient CO‐SCR. In this catalyst, contiguous Ir atoms are isolated into single atoms, and Ir–W intermetallic nanoparticles are formed, which are supported on ordered mesoporous SiO2 (KIT‐6). Notably, this catalyst enables complete NO conversion to N2 at 250 °C in the presence of 1% O2 and has a wide temperature window (250–400 °C), outperforming the comparison samples with Ir isolated‐single‐atomic‐sites and Ir nanoparticles, respectively. Also, it possesses a high SO2 tolerance. Both experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that single Ir atoms are negatively charged, dramatically enhancing the NO dissociation, while the Ir–W intermetallic nanoparticles accelerate the reduction of the N2O and NO2 intermediates by CO.
