Journal Article
Sommariva, R., Alam, M. S., Crilley, L. R., Rooney, D. J., Bloss, W. J., Fomba, K. W., …Carpenter, L. J. (2023). Factors Influencing the Formation of Nitrous Acid from Photolysis of Particulate Nitrate. Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 127(44), 9302–9310. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpca.3c03853

Enhanced photolysis of particulate nitrate (pNO3) to form photolabile species, such as gas-phase nitrous acid (HONO), has been proposed as a potential mechanism to recycle nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the remote boundary layer (“renoxification”). This ar... Read More about Factors Influencing the Formation of Nitrous Acid from Photolysis of Particulate Nitrate.
