Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas with a long lifetime of about 150 years in the atmosphere [1,2].
Although N2O is not the major contributor to global warming, it is much more potent than either of the other two most common anthropogenic greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4. It is 310 and 21 times of the GlobalWarming Potential (GWP) of CO2 and CH4, respectively [1,3]. Furthermore, N2O is an important source of stratospheric nitrogen oxides, which initiate a chain of cyclic reaction leading to stratospheric ozone destruction
