title: Comprehensive study combining surface science and real catalyst for NO direct decomposition.
abstract: The catalytic activity of Pd/Al2O3 prepared from various palladium precursors for direct NO decomposition is closely related to the fraction of surface step sites capable of dissociating NO, on the basis of a surface science study using single-crystal model catalyst.
