Photocatalytic Conversion of Nitrogen Oxides: Current State and Perspectives: a Review

The data available in the literature on the solution of the problem of nitrogen oxide neutralization (N2O, NOx) using photocatalytic approaches (by their decomposition, reduction and oxidation) with the participation of various semiconductor materials are analyzed and generalized. The mechanisms of photocatalytic conversion of nitrogen oxides proposed in the literature are discussed, ans the achievements and modern approaches of researches in the field of photocatalytic neutralization of N2O and NOx are characterized.
