Abstract

Abstract:

N₂O is a promising green propellant and exhibits great potential for satellite propulsion systems. It is difficult for catalytic decomposition, which is an important way to initiate the propulsion process, to occur at temperatures below 600℃ due to the high activation energy of N₂O. In this work, we report an Ir supported on rutile TiO₂ (Ir/r-TiO₂) catalyst which exhibits a fairly high activity for high-concentration N₂O decomposition. HAADF-STEM, H₂-TPR, and XPS results indicate that highly dispersed Ir particles and improved oxygen mobility on the Ir/r-TiO₂ could facilitate the decomposition of N₂O and desorption of the adsorbed oxygen. Bridge-bonded peroxide intermediates were observed with in-situ DRIFT and herein, a detailed decomposition route is proposed.

Key words: Heterogeneous catalysis, Nitrous oxide, Catalytic decomposition, Iridium catalyst, Titania
