Low-temperature catalytic decomposition of NO over excess-loading gold(I) in NaY zeolite

Abstract

The intrazeolite Au^l in NaY zeolite exhibits remarkable catalytic activities in the decomposition of NO to N₂(N₂O) and O₂ at low temperatures; the NO decomposition reaction proceeds through the sequential formation of N₂O₃ and N₂O intermediates on Au^l/NaY at 300–673 K.
