Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a toxic pollutant gas in the atmosphere and a major cause of such greenhouse effect and global warming. Here we investigate, computationally at nanoscale using Dmol3, reaction mechanisms of the decomposition of toxic N2O to a non‐toxic N2 gas over pristine‐ and Titanium decorated‐carbon nanotubes (Ti/CNTs). By comparing activation barriers of such reaction on both catalysts, we found Ti/CNTs a strong candidate as catalyst in the removal of nitrous oxides (N2O).
Results from the Adsorption Locator calculations show such probability to find hydrogen molecules (H2) in nanoporous materials. For the metal‐organic frameworks‐5 (MOF‐5), H2 specifically prefers to locate near the metal oxide
near the phenyl ring or at the center of the pore. Unlike the MOF‐5, the zeolite imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) shows different behavior
which is likely to diffuse and locate in the pore space near the imidazole unit and infrequently settle in the zinc metal area.
