Abstract

Ammonia is an important chemical for synthesized fertilizers traditionally and for a potential energy vector increasingly. Industrial ammonia synthesis through the Haber–Bosch process is energy-intensive and requires advanced materials to catalyze ammonia synthesis under mild conditions, whereas the utilization of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier via ammonia decomposition is facing a similar situation as well. The developed second-generation Ru-based catalysts performs superior activities over commercial Fe- or Ni-based catalysts; however, it remains challenging to construct effective Ru catalysts to achieve the usage of Ru metal affordably as well as further understanding the nature of Ru catalysis. This…
