Abstract

The integrated mechanism of the catalytic oxidation of NO by N2O on the metal-free support of nitrogen doped graphene (NG) is investigated using density function theory calculations. The results indicate that the N2O can be intensively adsorbed on NG support, while the NO, N2, NO2 are all weakly adsorbed. In the oxidation process, a two-step mechanism is identified: the dissociation of N2O followed by the oxidation of NO with the dissociative O-atom. The present work suggests that the NG support, as a high-efficient and metal-free catalyst, is one of the promising candidates for removing the nitrogen oxides gases exhaust.
