The NO–NO₂ cycle determines the formation of O₃ and hence plays a critical role in the oxidizing capacity of troposphere. Traditional view concluded that the heterogeneous oxidation of NO to NO₂ was negligible due to the weak reactivity of NO on aerosols, compared to the homogeneous oxidation process. However, the results here reported for the first time that SO₂ can greatly promote the heterogeneous transformation of NO into NO₂ and HONO on MgO particles under ambient conditions. The uptake coefficients of NO were increased by 2–3 orders of magnitudes on SO₂-aged MgO, compared to the fresh sample. Based on spectroscopic characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the active sites for the adsorption and oxidation of NO were determined to be sulfates, where an intermediate [SO₄–NO] complex was formed during the adsorption. The decomposition of this species led to the formation of NO₂ and the change of sulfate configuration. The formed NO₂ could further react with surface sulfite to form HONO and sulfate. The conversion of NO to NO₂ and HONO on the SO₂-aged MgO surface under ambient conditions contributes a new formation pathway of NO₂ and HONO and could be quite helpful for understanding the source of atmospheric oxidizing capacity as well as the formation of air pollution complexes in polluted regions such as the northern China.
