“…[4] A great number of active catalytic systems have been reported for deN 2 O, including zeolites, [5,6] hexaaluminates, [7,8] perovskites, [9,10] spinels, [11][12][13][14] hydrotalcite derived mixed metal oxides, [13,14] etc., and they are summarized in recent reviews. [2][3][4]17,18] Among others, high activity in N 2 O decomposition were reported over Cu-and/or Co-containing hydrotalcite derived mixed metal oxides. For example, Kannan [19] investigated CuÀ Al, NiÀ Al and CoÀ Al (M/Al = 3/1, mol.…”
