Graphical Abstract

N2 has long been considered as a stable reservoir in the atmosphere. However, in their Communication (e202421002), Deming Xia, Jingwen Chen, Joseph S. Francisco et al. proposed a novel reduction-then-oxidation pathway, through which N2 can be rapidly converted to N2O by O2 and O3 on water droplet surfaces.
