Effects of support, promoter and preparation conditions on catalytic activity are discussed. The catalytic activity is evaluated with a fixed bed micro reactor at lower pressure. The results show that the impregnation sequence affects the catalytic activity obviously. Ba Ru K/C is the preferred impregnation sequence. And effects of nature, producing area and pre treatment of the support on catalytic activity are also examined. Catalytic activity increases with the amount of Ru deposited on the support, it attains maximum when Ru loading is 8%. Optimal molar ratio of promoter to Ru is 10.展开更多

In this study, atomically dispersed Au_1 catalyst is synthesized and applied in electrochemical synthesis of ammonia under ambient conditions. A high NH＋4 Faradaic efficiency of 11.1 % achieved by our Au_1 catalyst surpasses most of reported catalysts under comparable conditions. Benefiting from efficient atom utilization, an NH＋4 yield rate of 1,305 μg h-1 mg-1Au has been reached, which is roughly 22.5 times as high as that by sup- ported Au nanoparticles. We also demonstrate that by employing our Au_1 catalyst, NH＋4 can be electro- chemically produced directly from N_2 and H_2 with an energy utilization rate of 4.02 mmol kJ-1. Our study provides a possibility of replacing the Haber-Bosch process with environmentally benign and energy-efficient electrochemical strategies.展开更多
