N2O is a promising green propellant and exhibits great potential for satellite propulsion systems. It is difficult for catalytic decomposition, which is an important way to initiate the propulsion process, to occur at temperatures below 600 °C due to the high activation energy of N2O. In this work, we report an Ir supported on rutile TiO2(Ir/r-TiO2) catalyst which exhibits a fairly high activity for high-concentration N2O decomposition. HAADF-STEM, H2-TPR, and XPS results indicate that highly dispersed Ir particles and improved oxygen mobility on the Ir/r-TiO2could facilitate the decomposition of N2O and desorption of the adsorbed oxygen. Bridge-bonded peroxide intermediates were observed within-situDRIFT and herein, a detailed decomposition route is proposed.
