Recently, nickel oxide, NiO, promoted with various dopants showed an interesting activity behavior inN2O direct decomposition. In this paper, the activity of a series of rare earth (Nd, Pr, Tb and Y) doped NiOcatalysts was investigated for this reaction. These catalysts have been prepared by the calcination of theircorresponding oxalate mixtures, which have been synthesized via the microwave-assisted precipitationroute using ... Read more
