New iron catalyst helps preferentially reduce NO to hydroxylamine; pollution control and clean energy

Green Car Congress

Among the major pollutants, nitrogen oxide (NO x ) accumulation can cause severe respiratory diseases and imbalance in the Earth’s nitrogen cycle. Recently, the conversion of NO x into harmless or even useful nitrogen products has emerged as a promising strategy. An open-access paper on the work is published in Nature Communications.
