Abstract
An overview is given on the ongoing activities in the area of the deco mposition of nitrous oxide, N2O, over solid catalysts. These catalysts include metals, pure and mixed oxides, supported as well as unsupport ed, and zeolitic systems. The review covers aspects of the reaction me chanism and kinetics, focusing on the role of surface oxygen, the inhi bition by molecular oxygen, water and other species, poisoning phenome na and practical developments.
