Reactions of the monoxides of carbon and nitrogen over the superconducting lanthanoid mixed oxide YBa2Cu3Oy
Abstract
Large quantities of NO and CO were rapidly absorbed (or intercalated) by YBa2Cu3Oy during the reaction of NO with CO at 573 K; NO was taken up initially, then CO absorption and N2 formation took place, and finally the stationary catalytic reaction, NO + CO → 1/2N2+ CO2, proceeded.
