The results show that the formed N-down and O-down NO dimers are negatively charged. The formation of stable O-down dimers on the surface leads to the great elongation of N-O bond, which contributes to the NO reduction. The transition-state calculations indicate that the decomposition of O-down NO dimer at the b-Cr^3+ site is most favorable and N2O is the major reduction product.展开更多
