In general, reduction of N2O by CO is first performed by N2O decomposition over a catalyst surface to release N2 and form an active oxygen species, and subsequently CO is oxidized by the active oxygen species to produce CO2. However, the strong adsorption behavior of CO on the catalyst surface usual...
