Abstract

(CaO)1−x (ZnO) x mixed oxides (x=0−1), heated at 1423 K under atmospheric conditions, were checked for their catalytic activity in the N2O decomposition in the temperature range of 450–650°C. Although the catalytic activity was measured in the dark, it was found to be linearly related with the photoluminescence intensity of the catalysts.
