Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) decomposition is increasingly acknowledged as a viable strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ozone depletion, aligning significantly with the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs) and carbon neutrality objectives. To enhance efficiency in treatment and explore potential valorization, recent developments have introduced novel N2O reduction catalysts and pathways. Despite these advancements, a comprehensive and comparative review is absent. In this review, we undertake a thorough evaluation of N2O treatment technologies from a holistic perspective. First, we summarize and update the recent progress in thermal decomposition, direct catalytic decomposition (deN2O), and selective catalytic reduction of N2O. The scope extends to the catalytic activity of emerging catalysts, including nanostructured materials and single-atom catalysts. Furthermore, we present a detailed account of the mechanisms and applications of room-temperature techniques characterized by low energy consumption and sustainable merits, including photocatalytic and electrocatalytic N2O reduction. This article also underscores the extensive and effective utilization of N2O resources in chemical synthesis scenarios, providing potential avenues for future resource reuse. This review provides an accessible theoretical foundation and a panoramic vision for practical N2O emission controls.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential, emphasizing the critical need to develop efficient elimination methods. Electrocatalytic N2O reduction reaction (N2ORR) stands out as a promising approach, offering room temperature conversion of N2O to N2 without the production of NOx byproducts. In this study, we present the synthesis of a copper-based single-atom catalyst featuring atomic Cu on nitrogen-doped carbon black (Cu1-NCB). Attributed to the highly dispersed single-atom Cu sites and the effective suppression of the hydrogen evolution reaction, Cu1-NCB demonstrated an optimal N2 faradaic efficiency (82.1%) and yield rate (3.53 mmol h-1 mgmetal-1) at -0.2 and -0.5 V vs RHE, respectively, outperforming previously reported N2ORR electrocatalysts. Further, a gas diffusion electrode cell was employed to improve mass transfer and achieved a 28.6% conversion rate of 30% N2O with only a 14 s residence time, demonstrating the potential for practical application. Density functional theory calculations identified Cu-N4 as the crucial active site for N2ORR, highlighting the significance of the unsaturated coordination and metal-support electronic structure. O-terminal adsorption of N2O was favored, and the dissociative adsorption (*ON2 → *O + N2) was the rate-determining step. These findings reveal the broad prospects of N2O decomposition via electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) metal organic framework (MOF) or metalloporphyrin nanosheets with a stable metal-N4 complex unit present the metal as a single-atom catalyst dispersed in the 2D porphyrin framework. First-principles calculations on the 3d-transition metals in M-TCPP are investigated in this study for their surface-dependent electronic properties including work function and d-band center. Crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (-pCOHP) analysis highlights a higher contribution of the bonding state in the M-N bond and antibonding state in the N-N bond to be essential for N-N bond activation. A linear relationship between ΔGmax and surface electronic properties, N-N bond strength, and Bader charge has been found to influence the rate-determining potential for nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) in M-TCPP MOFs. 2D Ti-TCPP MOF, with a kinetic energy barrier of 1.43 eV in the final protonation step of enzymatic NRR, shows exclusive NRR selectivity over competing hydrogen reduction (HER) and nitrogenous compounds (NO and NO2). Thus, Ti-TCPP MOF with an NRR limiting potential of -0.35 V in water solvent is proposed as an attractive candidate for electrocatalytic NRR.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of methane to methanol is one of the most promising processes for effective natural gas resource utilization. In this work, Bi4O6-catalyzed oxidation of methane to methanol with N2O as an oxidizing reactant has been investigated by DFT calculation. For the overall reaction mechanism of three N2O molecules on Bi4O6 catalyst, two catalytic cycles were proposed. Cycle 1 involved the consecutive decomposition of the first two N2O molecules. Cycle 2 corresponded to the decomposition of the third N2O molecule. The activation barriers of the first and second N2O decomposition were computed to be 27.6 and 35.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The third N2O decomposition in cycle 2 required 36.1 kcal/mol activation barriers. Thus, cycle 1 was the main catalytic cycle for N2O as the cycle required lower in barriers than those of the other. Oxidation of methane to methanol on Bi4O7 and Bi4O8 catalysts was supposed to be a two-step mechanism consisting of H3C-H bond breaking and CH3-OH formation. The activation energies of the two steps were 32.7, 41.1, and 21.6, 17.2 kcal/mol for Bi4O7 and Bi4O8, respectively. Thus, methane oxidation over Bi4O8 was found to be more energetically favorable than those of Bi4O7, in which C-H bond breaking is the RDS. The present catalyst could be a promising material for the oxidation of methane to methanol. In summary, the single-site catalytic model study would be beneficial for guiding and searching for potential catalysts in heterogeneously catalyzed N2O decomposition and methanol synthesis as green as possible. However, theoretical investigation of this kind of catalyst's extended model system must be taken into account.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with limited use as a mild anesthetic and underdeveloped reactivity. Nitrous oxide splitting (decomposition) is critical to its mitigation as a GHG. Although heterogeneous catalysts for N2O decomposition have been developed, highly efficient, long-lived solid catalysts are still needed, and the details of the catalytic pathways are not well understood. Reported herein is a computational evaluation of three potential molecular (homogeneous) catalysts for N2O splitting, which could aid in the development of more active and robust catalysts and provide deeper mechanistic insights: one Cu(I)-based, [(CF3O)4Al]Cu (A-1), and two Ru(III)-based, Cl(POR)Ru (B-1) and (NTA)Ru (C-1) (POR = porphyrin, NTA = nitrilotriacetate). The structures and energetic viability of potential intermediates and key transition states are evaluated according to a two-stage reaction pathway: (A) deoxygenation (DO), during which a metal-N2O complex undergoes N-O bond cleavage to produce N2 and a metal-oxo species and (B) (di)oxygen evolution (OER), in which the metal-oxo species dimerizes to a dimetal-peroxo complex, followed by conversion to a metal-dioxygen species from which dioxygen dissociates. For the (F-L)Cu(I) activator (A-1), deoxygenation of N2O is facilitated by an O-bound (F-L)Cu-O-N2 or better by a bimetallic N,O-bonded, (F-L)Cu-NNO-Cu(F-L) complex; the resulting copper-oxyl (F-L)Cu-O is converted exergonically to (F-L)Cu-(η2,η2-O2)-Cu(F-L), which leads to dioxygen species (F-L)Cu(η2-O2), that favorably dissociates O2. Key features of the DO/OER process for (POR)ClRu (B-1) include endergonic N2O coordination, facile N2 evolution from LR'u-N2O-RuL to Cl(POR)RuO, moderate barrier coupling of Cl(POR)RuO to peroxo Cl(POR)Ru(O2)Ru(POR)Cl, and eventual O2 dissociation from Cl(POR)Ru(η1-O2), which is nearly thermoneutral. N2O decomposition promoted by (NTA)Ru(III) (C-1) can proceed with exergonic N2O coordination, facile N2 dissociation from (NTA)Ru-ON2 or (NTA)Ru-N2O-Ru(NTA) to form (NTA)Ru-O; dimerization of the (NTA)Ru-oxo species is facile to produce (NTA)Ru-O-O-Ru(NTA), and subsequent OE from the peroxo species is moderately endergonic. Considering the overall energetics, (F-L)Cu and Cl(POR)Ru derivatives are deemed the best candidates for promoting facile N2O decomposition.

Abstract
Decomposition of nitric oxide (NO) gas on a reactive transition-metal cluster of W2TcO6 has been examined and investigated via selective catalytic reduction by ammonia (NH3-SCR) using the M06-L density functional method. The transition-metal cluster of W2TcO6 can be employed to transform NO to N2 gas efficiently over an active site of tungsten (W). A reaction mechanism of NO conversion based on the NH3-SCR process has been elucidated by a potential energy surface along the reaction pathways. The reaction pathways of this NH3-SCR process begin with adsorption of NH3, adsorption of NO to the cluster, formation of nitrosamine (NH2NO) and NHNO/NHNOH intermediates, and rearrangement of NHNO/NHNOH to obtain N2 and H2O, respectively. Notably, a significant NH2NO as a key intermediate, namely, "nitrosamine", must be formed before further steps can take place in the generation of N2 from NO, followed by the involvement of the NHNO or NHNOH intermediate. From our calculated results, the NHNO intermediate via TS3a is found in pathway a, while NHNOH is found in pathway b via TS3b. Pathway b has a lower energy barrier of 35.1 kcal/mol than pathway a with an energy barrier of 41.8 kcal/mol, indicating that pathway b should be more energetically favorable. The step for NHNO intermediate rearrangement is a rate-determining step for the reaction occurring through pathway a, which is found to be more difficult in accordance with a difficult N-H bond cleavage to form the NNOH intermediate before N2 formation. The overall reaction is an exothermic process with thermodynamic and kinetic favors. Thus, this bimetallic W2TcO6 cluster could be used as a promising and active catalyst for NO decomposition via the NH3-SCR process to an eco-friendly gas, that is, N2.

Abstract
Cooperative effects of adjacent active centers are critical for single-atom catalysts (SACs) as active site density matters. Yet, how it affects scaling relationships in many important reactions such as the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is underexplored. Herein we elucidate how the cooperation of two active centers can attenuate the linear scaling effect in the NRR through a first-principle study on 39 SACs comprised of two adjacent (∼4 Å apart) four N-coordinated metal centers (MN4 duo) embedded in graphene. Bridge-on adsorption of dinitrogen-containing species appreciably tilts the balance of adsorption of N2H and NH2 toward N2H and thus substantially loosens the restraint of scaling relationships in the NRR, achieving low onset potential (V) and direct N≡N cleavage (Mo, Re) at room temperature, respectively. The potential of the MN4 duo in the NRR provides new insight into circumventing the limitations of scaling relationships in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Water vapor has generally been recognized as an inhibitor of catalysts in nitrous oxide (N2O) decomposition because it limits the lifetime of catalytic reactors. Oxygen produced in reactions also deactivates the catalytic performance of bulk surface catalysts. Herein, we propose a potential catalyst that is tolerant of water and oxygen in the process of N2O decomposition. By applying density functional theory calculations, we investigated the reaction mechanism of N2O decomposition into N2 and O2 catalyzed by oxotitanium(IV) porphyrin (TiO-por) with interfacially bonded water. The activation energies of reaction Path A and B are compared under thermal and photo-assisted conditions. The obtained calculation results show that the photo-assisted reaction in Path B is highly exothermic and proceeds smoothly with the low activation barrier of 27.57 kcal/mol at the rate determining step. The produced O2 is easily desorbed from the surface of the catalyst, requiring only 4.96 kcal/mol, indicating the suppression of catalyst deactivation. Therefore, TiO-por is theoretically proved to have the potential to be a desirable catalyst for N2O decomposition with photo-irradiation because of its low activation barrier, water resistance, and ease of regeneration.

Abstract
In the present paper, the mechanisms of N2O reduction by H2 were systemically examined over various polyoxometalate-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) M1/PTA (M = Fe, Co, Mn, Ru, Rh, Os, Ir, and Pt; PTA = [PW12O40]3-) by means of density functional theory calculations. Among these M1/PTA SACs, Os1/PTA SAC possesses high activity for N2O reduction by H2 with a relatively low rate-determining barrier. The favorable catalytic pathway involves the first and second N2O decomposition over the Os1/PTA SAC and hydrogenation of the key species after the second N2O decomposition. Molecular geometry and electronic structure analyses along the favorable reaction pathway indicate that a strong charge-transfer cooperative effect of metal and support effectively improves the catalytic activity of Os1/PTA SAC. The isolated Os atom not only plays the role of adsorption and activation of the N2O molecule but also works as an electron transfer medium in the whole reaction process. Meanwhile, the PTA support with very high redox stability has also been proven to be capable of transporting the electron to promote the whole reaction. We expect that our computation results can provide ideas for designing new SACs for N2O reduction by using H2 selective catalytic reduction technology.

Abstract
Heterogeneous single-site catalysts consist of isolated, well-defined, active sites that are spatially separated in a given solid and, ideally, structurally identical. In this review, the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as platforms for the development of heterogeneous single-site catalysts is reviewed thoroughly. In the first part of this article, synthetic strategies and progress in the implementation of such sites in these two classes of materials are discussed. Because these solids are excellent playgrounds to allow a better understanding of catalytic functions, we highlight the most important recent advances in the modelling and spectroscopic characterization of single-site catalysts based on these materials. Finally, we discuss the potential of MOFs as materials in which several single-site catalytic functions can be combined within one framework along with their potential as powerful enzyme-mimicking materials. The review is wrapped up with our personal vision on future research directions.

Abstract
Although epoxidation of alkenes by N2O catalyzed by Mn-substituted polyoxometalates (POMs) has been studied both experimental and theoretical methods, a complete catalytic cycle has not been established currently. In the present paper, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to explore possible reaction mechanism about this catalytic cycle. Our DFT studies reveal that the reaction pathway starts from a low-valent Keggin-type POM aquametal derivative [PW11O39MnIIIH2O]4-. In the presence of N2O pressure, the formation of the active catalytic species [PW11O39MnVO]4- involves a ligand-substituted reaction about replacement of the aqua ligand with N2O to generation of POM/N2O adduct [PW11O39MnIIION2]4- and dissociation of N2 from this adduct. The calculated free energy indicates that the ligand-substituted reaction is endergonic both in gas phase or various solvents. The partial optimization method reveals that the dissociation of N2 from [PW11O39MnIIION2]4- involves crossing of the quintet state with a low-lying triplet state. Due to the high reactivity, the high-valent MnV-oxo species, [PW11O39MnVO]4-, may react with the excess N2O and alkenes. Thus, two alternative reaction pathways corresponding to activation of N2O and epoxidation of alkenes have been considered in this work. The calculated free energy profile indicates that epoxidation of alkenes pathway is the favorable routes. Finally, a complete catalytic cycle for this reaction has been proposed. The rate-determining step in this catalytic cycle is the dissociation of N2 from the low-valent POM/N2O adduct according to our DFT-M06L calculations.
