Abstract
Abstract Nitrogen oxides represent one of the main threats for the environment. Despite decades of intensive research efforts, a sustainable solution for NO x removal under environmental conditions is still undefined. Using theoretical modelling, material design, state‐of‐the‐art investigation methods and mimicking enzymes, it is found that selected porous hybrid iron(II/III) based MOF material are able to decompose NO x , at room temperature, in the presence of water and oxygen, into N 2 and O 2 and without reducing agents. This paves the way to the development of new highly sustainable heterogeneous catalysts to improve air quality.
