Abstract

The decomposition of N2O on the iron exchanged ferrierite zeolite was studied computationally employing a periodic DFT approach and experimentally using a static and in-situ FTIR method. The calculations yielded the reaction energies and barriers for the entire course of the N2O decomposition. We used three distinctive cationic sites (Alpha, Beta-1 and Beta-2) to study the effects of the local arrangements of the Fe active site on the course of the decomposition. We focused on the dual role of NO in the N2O decomposition and furthermore on the dependence of the N2O decomposition on the NO concentration as well as on the nature of the iron-zeolite.
