Energy and environmental related issues are among the concerns of society at present. The limited supply of conventional fossil fuels promotes the development of alternative energy sources such as fuel cell systems which may utilize hydrogen and other gases. If properly engineered, fuel cells could be efficient and clean power generators which are the desired outcomes. Aside from this, the emissions from combustion of fossil fuels are known to be the major contributors of greenhouse gases. As fossil fuels are widely used in different industries, it is a great responsibility on their part to develop related devices that would purify these damaging pollutants. In short, it is a common objective to develop technologies that are environmental friendly, cheap and effective on their respective applications. The achievement of this goal is not an easy task and requires intensive investigation not only by the concerned industry but with the participation of government, industries, research institutes and academes. The harmful consequence of exhaust gases from vehicles is a crucial problem for automobile industries. Aside from the environmental degradation due to these pollutants, they have also negative impact on human health. One of the emitted gases from automobiles is the nitrogen oxide (NOx). It undergoes chemical change and converts to nitric acid in the atmosphere which leads to the formation of acid rain. Thus, it is necessary to minimize its production in order to regulate its damaging outcome. For these reasons, the interaction of NOx on surfaces and other related materials is widely studied1)~10). NOx reduction process involves the dissociation of the molecule with the aid of catalyst where the component atoms can combine to form other gases. Its realization basically relies on the efficiency of the catalyst in dissociating the molecule. The dissociation of NO is the rate limiting step on its reduction as it requires large amount of energy to break the N_O bond.
