Abstract
The selectivity of the NO+H2 reaction towards N2 and N2O was found to vary by more than four orders of magnitude as compared with that on polycrystalline wires and foils of Pt, Rh and Ir. NH3 is also produced during this reaction. Ir is the most selective catalyst towards N2 formation, by more than 3 orders of magnitude below 1000 K, as compared to Pt and Rh.
