Electrocatalytic upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic wastes into value-added chemicals is promising to alleviate the environmental and energy crisis. However, the cost effectiveness and long-term stability are still facing great challenges for up-scaling applications. Herein, we developed an efficient and stable metallic Ni bifunctional electrocatalyst for the electrocatalytic upcycling of PET plastic wastes coupled with hydrogen production. The metallic Ni deposited on nickel foam exhibited a current density of 100 mA cm−2 at 1.4 VRHE, and an optimal Faradaic efficiency to formic acid (FEFA) of 90 % at 1.5 VRHE for the anodic ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR), while presenting an overpotential of 250 mV at 100 mA cm−2 and Faradaic efficiency to hydrogen (FEH2) close to 100 % for the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Mechanistic studies demonstrated the structural reconstruction of metallic Ni into amorphous nickel (oxy)hydroxides as the reactive sites for the EGOR process. A flow cell reactor was assembled by utilizing the bifunctional electrocatalyst as both anode and cathode. A long-term stability was achieved at a constant current density of 100 mA cm−2 for 720 h. The superior catalytic performance, long-term stability and economic efficiency of the bifunctional metallic Ni electrocatalyst provide great potential for future scaling up.

Understanding the behavior of noble-metal catalysts is a key point of catalysis research aimed at reducing the environmental and economic costs associated with the increased use of automobiles. In this study, the atomic-behaviors of Ru and Pd atoms in PdRu solid-solution nanoparticles (NPs) supported on CeO2-ZrO2 (CZ) as a Rh-free three-way catalyst in a modeled three-way catalytic reaction (TWCR) were elucidated using a gas conversion analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and in-situ X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. We found that the PdRu NPs enlarged by the annealing effect separated a smaller grain size with the Pd-rich and Ru-rich phase under TWCR. Most of the oxidation and reduction reactions under the modeled TWCR occurred on the Ru. However, the Pd metals acted as a major role of the reduction of NO gas and oxidation of CO and C3H6 gas. Ru atoms just is a minor role during the modeled TWCR. This study demonstrates the potential of PdRu NPs as a three-way catalyst and reveals the atomic-behavior and catalytic role under the modeled TWCR.

Conversion of CO2 with H2 to CH4 is a potential route for the utilization of CO2. Because CO2 methanation is an exothermic reaction, the equilibrium yield decreases with increasing temperature. A catalyst that exhibits high activity at low temperatures is thus highly desirable. We report here that a tetragonal-type ZrO2-supported Ru catalyst prepared by low-temperature calcination showed significant low-temperature activity for CO2 methanation. We surmise that an intermediate formate species formed over the tetragonal-type ZrO2 and enhanced the catalytic activity.

Hydrogen is a promising combustion improver for use with ammonia fuels, but a cost-effective method for easily producing hydrogen from ammonia at a high rate has yet to be developed. Here, we show that microwave irradiation instantly triggers oxidative decomposition of ammonia over a Co/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 catalyst to produce hydrogen at a high rate. The microwave irradiation rapidly heats the inside of the catalyst from room temperature to the catalytic auto-ignition temperature of ammonia, thus initiating exothermic oxidative decomposition of ammonia to produce hydrogen. This method provides a highly efficient means of producing hydrogen for potential use in a carbon-free, ammonia-fueled power generation process.

To realize a carbon-neutral society, developing highly active and inexpensive catalysts for ammonia (NH3) production working under moderate conditions (<400 °C, <10 MPa) using hydrogen fabricated from the electrolysis of water is demanded. Current industrial fused iron (Fe) catalysts show deficient activity under such conditions. Although Ru-based catalysts have been introduced as highly efficient catalysts working under desired conditions, they are scarce and consequently expensive. This work introduces Fe/Ba/MgO (reduced at 700 °C) as an active catalyst with a high ammonia production rate working at mild temperature and pressure (350 °C, 1.0 MPa). Ba doping to Fe nanoparticles supported on MgO and pre-reduction at high temperatures dramatically ameliorated the NH3 production rate. Due to the absence of hydrogen poisoning, the catalytic activity of the Fe/Ba/MgO increased gradually by raising the pressure from 0.1 to 3.0 MPa. The activity of this catalyst at 3.0 MPa was higher than that of two benchmark Ru catalysts. After pre-reduction at high temperature, electrons are donated from the BaO encapsulating the Fe0 nanoparticles to the N2 molecule, which promotes the rate-determining step of ammonia synthesis. We anticipate that these findings will contribute to developing inexpensive Fe catalysts for decarbonizing the ammonia synthesis process to achieve a carbon-neutral society.

An important part of realizing a carbon-neutral society using ammonia will be the development of an inexpensive yet efficient catalyst for ammonia synthesis under mild reaction conditions (<400 °C, <10 MPa). Here, we report Fe/K(3)/MgO, fabricated via an impregnation method, as a highly active catalyst for ammonia synthesis under mild reaction conditions (350 °C, 1.0 MPa). At the mentioned conditions, the activity of Fe/K(3)/MgO (17.5 mmol h−1 gcat−1) was greater than that of a commercial fused iron catalyst (8.6 mmol h−1 gcat−1) currently used in the Haber-Bosch process. K doping was found to increase the ratio of Fe0 on the surface and turnover frequency of Fe in our Fe/K(3)/MgO catalyst. In addition, increasing the pressure to 3.0 MPa at the same temperature led to a significant improvement of the ammonia synthesis rate to 29.6 mmol h−1 gcat−1, which was higher than that of two more expensive, benchmark Ru-based catalysts, which are also potential alternative catalysts. A kinetics analysis revealed that the addition of K enhanced the ammonia synthesis activity at ≥300 °C by changing the main adsorbed species from NH to N which can accelerate dissociative adsorption of nitrogen as the rate limiting step in ammonia synthesis.

Supported Ru catalysts were prepared by using different Ru precursors and examined for the hydrogenation of benzaldehyde to CHM. The catalyst prepared from Ru3(CO)12 precursor and HT support exhibited high yield of CHM. Moderate acidic and basic nature of HT was favourable to control the selectivity for CHM. The physicochemical properties analysis revealed that highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles were effective for the hydrogenation of benzaldehyde. RuCO/HT catalyst was tolerant to different functional groups and was stable until 7th cycle of recycle study.

Ruthenium catalysts may allow for realization of renewable energy-based ammonia synthesis processes using mild reaction conditions (<400 °C, <10 MPa). However, ruthenium is relatively rare and therefore expensive. Here, we report a Co nanoparticle catalyst loaded on a basic Ba/La2O3support and prereduced at 700 °C (Co/Ba/La2O3_700red) that showed higher ammonia synthesis activity at 350 °C and 1.0-3.0 MPa than two benchmark Ru catalysts, Cs+/Ru/MgO and Ru/CeO2. The synthesis rate of the catalyst at 350 °C and 1.0 MPa (19.3 mmol h-1g-1) was 8.0 times that of Co/Ba/La2O3_500red and 6.9 times that of Co/La2O3_700red. The catalyst showed ammonia synthesis activity at temperatures down to 200 °C. Reduction at the high temperature induced the formation of BaO-La2O3nanofractions around the Co nanoparticles by decomposition of BaCO3, which increased turnover frequency, inhibited the sintering of Co nanoparticles, and suppressed ammonia poisoning. These strategies may also be applicable to other non-noble metal catalysts, such as nickel.

Hydrogen is a promising clean energy source. In domestic polymer electrolyte fuel cell systems, hydrogen is produced by reforming of natural gas; however, the reformate contains carbon monoxide (CO) as a major impurity. This CO is removed from the reformate by a combination of the water-gas shift reaction and preferential oxidation of CO (PROX). Currently, Ru-based catalysts are the most common type of PROX catalyst; however, their durability against ammonia (NH3) as an impurity produced in situ from trace amounts of nitrogen also contained in the reformate is an important issue. Previously, we found that addition of Pt to an Ru catalyst inhibited deactivation by NH3. Here, we conducted operando XAFS and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses with simultaneous gas analysis to investigate the cause of the deactivation of an Ru-based PROX catalyst (Ru/α-Al2O3) by NH3and the mechanism of suppression of the deactivation by adding Pt (Pt/Ru/α-Al2O3). We found that nitric oxide (NO) produced by oxidation of NH3induces oxidation of the Ru nanoparticle surface, which deactivates the catalyst via a three-step process: First, NO directly adsorbs on Ru0to form NO-Ruδ+, which then induces the formation of O-Run+by oxidation of the surrounding Ru0. Then, O-Rum+is formed by oxidation of Ru0starting from the O-Run+nuclei and spreading across the surface of the nanoparticle. Pt inhibits this process by alloying with Ru and inducing the decomposition of adsorbed NO, which keeps the Ru in a metallic state.

The hydrogen production capabilities of the membrane reactor combining V-10 mol%Fe hydrogen permeable alloy membrane with Ru/Cs2O/Pr6O11 ammonia decomposition catalyst are studied. The ammonia conversion is improved by 1.7 times compared to the Ru/Cs2O/Pr6O11 catalyst alone by removing the produced hydrogen through the V-10mol%Fe alloy membrane during the ammonia decomposition. 79% of the hydrogen atoms contained in the ammonia gas are extracted directly as high-purity hydrogen gas. Both the Ru/Cs2O/Pr6O11 catalyst and the V-10 mol% Fe alloy membrane are highly durable, and the initial performance of the hydrogen separation rate lasts for more than 3000 h. The produced hydrogen gas conforms to ISO 14687–2:2019 Grade D for fuel cell vehicles because the ammonia and nitrogen concentrations are less than 0.1 ppm and 100 ppm, respectively.

Colloidal metal nanoparticles were examined for reductive amination of phenol by ammonia under mild reaction conditions. The results showed that Rh-PVP was the most active catalyst for reductive amination reaction. Linear, cyclic, and amino alcohols were used as nucleophiles and converted to primary/secondary/tertiary amines. Using this strategy, the synthesis of an industrially important chemical, N-cyclohexyl- 2-pyrrolidone was explored.

Catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles is a cost-effective and green method for synthesizing amines and imines, which have many industrial applications. However, this reaction generally requires harsh reaction conditions and produces a mixture of amine and imine products due to its chemodiversity. Therefore, it is a challenge to selectively hydrogenate nitriles to a single product under ambient conditions (1 bar of H2 at 25 °C). Here, we report an effective method for selective hydrogenation of nitriles that does not require heat, pressurization, or long reaction times. We achieved this by means of bimetalization between palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles, which resulted in a catalyst that showed high yield of secondary amines. Although Pd and Pt are thermodynamically immiscible, we have successfully alloyed the two metals by means of rapid chemical reduction assisted by microwave heating. X-ray absorption spectroscopy suggested the formation of heteroatomic Pdδ+Ptδ− sites via charge transfer between neighboring Pd and Pt atoms in the alloy structure. Moreover, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated that decreasing the size of the PdPt (50 : 50) nanoparticles improved the degree of alloying and facilitated the formation of electron-enriched Ptδ− species. On the basis of kinetics studies and density functional theory calculations, we concluded that cyano group activation, which was the rate-determining step over monometallic Pd and Pt catalysts, was accelerated over the heteroatomic Pdδ+Ptδ− sites because of strong back-donation from electron-enriched Ptδ− species to the carbon atom of the cyano groups. The PdPt random alloy nanoparticles catalyzed the reactions of various aromatic and heterocyclic nitriles, and the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained in just a few hours.

To realize a carbon-free society, catalysts are needed for the synthesis of ammonia under mild reaction conditions (<400 °C, <10 MPa) that use hydrogen produced from renewable energy. Ru-based catalysts are currently the most promising candidates; however, Ru is expensive and of low abundance. Here, we discovered that the encapsulation of Co nanoparticles with BaO enhanced the ammonia synthesis activity of Co and that a simple Ba-doped Co/MgO catalyst prereduced at an unusually high temperature of 700 °C (Co@BaO/MgO-700red) showed outstanding ammonia synthesis activity. The ammonia synthesis rate (24.6 mmol gcat−1 h−1) and turnover frequency (0.246 s−1) of the catalyst at 350 °C and 1.0 MPa were about 80 and 250 times higher, respectively, than those of the nondoped parent catalyst. At the same temperature but higher pressure (3.0 MPa), the ammonia synthesis rate was increased to 48.4 mmol gcat−1 h−1, which is higher than that of active Ru-based catalysts. In addition, at 1.0 MPa, our catalyst produced ammonia even at temperatures as low as 150 °C. Scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy investigations revealed that after reduction at 700 °C, the Co nanoparticles had become encapsulated by a nanofraction of BaO. The mechanism underlying the formation of this unique structure was considered to comprise reduction of oxidic Co to metallic Co, decomposition of BaCO3 to BaO, and migration of BaO and Co nanoparticles. Spectroscopic and density functional theory investigations revealed that adsorption of N2 on the Co atoms at the catalyst surface weakened the N2 triple bond to the strength of a double bond due to electron donation from Ba2+ of BaO via adjacent Co atoms; this weakening accelerated the cleavage of the triple bond, which is the rate-determining step for ammonia synthesis.

Ammonia synthesis catalysts with high activity under mild reaction conditions for use in synthetic chemical processes powered by renewable energy are needed. Here, we investigated the physicochemical properties and ammonia synthesis activity of lanthanoid oxide–supported Ru catalysts. The basicity of the Ru/lanthanoid oxide catalysts, as estimated by CO2 temperature-programmed desorption, was higher than that of Ru/MgO, a representative catalyst with high ammonia synthesis activity, and a positive relationship was observed between basicity and turnover frequency. The turnover frequency of Ru/Pr2O3 and Ru/La2O3 (both 0.24 s−1) was eight times that of Ru/MgO (0.03 s−1). A kinetic analysis revealed that hydrogen poisoning, which is a typical drawback of oxide-supported Ru catalysts, was markedly retarded in the Ru/lanthanoid oxide catalysts. As a result, the ammonia synthesis rate of the Ru/Pr2O3 catalyst increased with increasing reaction pressure, reaching 49 mmol g−1 h−1 at 400 °C and 1.0 MPa, which was 12 times that of Ru/MgO under the same conditions.

Since 1970, people have been making every endeavor to reduce toxic emissions from automobiles. After the development of a three-way catalyst (TWC) that concurrently converts three harmful gases, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), Rh became an essential element in automobile technology because only Rh works efficiently for catalytic NOx reduction. However, due to the sharp price spike in 2007, numerous efforts have been made to replace Rh in TWCs. Nevertheless, Rh remains irreplaceable, and now, the price of Rh is increasing significantly again. Here, it is demonstrated that PdRuM ternary solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit highly durable and active TWC performance, which will result in a significant reduction in catalyst cost compared to Rh. This work provides insights into the design of highly durable and efficient functional alloy NPs, guiding how to best take advantage of the configurational entropy in addition to the mixing enthalpy.

Strong basic oxide–supported Ru catalysts are easily prepared and handled, and they have been used as effective catalysts for ammonia synthesis under mild reaction conditions since the 1970s. Recent research has revealed that precise control of the boundary states between the basic oxide (i.e., rare-earth oxide, alkali earth oxide), oxygen defect sites, and Ru nanoparticles can be used to enhance ammonia synthesis under mild reaction conditions and inhibit hydrogen poisoning, which is a typical drawback of strong basic oxide–supported Ru catalysts.

Solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs), where the constituents mix at the atomic level, show a variety of attractive properties due to their tunable electronic structures. However, it is still difficult to stably synthesize them, particularly nonequilibrium alloys that consist of combinations immiscible in the bulk. Here, we first report the successful syntheses of solid-solution alloy NPs including PdRu and PdRuIr, which are immiscible in the bulk, and of IrPdPtRhRu high-entropy alloy NPs through a continuous-flow reactor providing a high productivity with high reproducibility. The designed solvothermal flow reactor enabled us to use a lower alcohol as a reductant that cannot be applied in a batch synthesis for these NPs.

This study provides a coreduction methodology for solid solution formation in immiscible systems, with an example of a whole-region immiscible Cu-Ru system. Although the binary Cu-Ru alloy system is very unstable in the bulk state, the atomic-level well-mixed CuRu solid solution nanoparticles were found to have high thermal stability up to at least 773 K in a vacuum. The exhaust purification activity of the CuRu solid solution was comparable to that of face-centred cubic Ru nanoparticles. According to in situ infrared measurements, stronger NO adsorption and higher intrinsic reactivity of the Ru site on the CuRu surface than that of a pure Ru surface were found, affected by atomic-level Cu substitution. Furthermore, CuRu solid solution was a versatile catalyst for purification of all exhaust gases at a stoichiometric oxygen concentration. This journal is

Ammonia has received attention as a hydrogen carrier for energy use, and although ammonia decomposition can produce hydrogen at a high rate, there is currently no simple process for decomposing ammonia that is easily and rapidly initiated at any time without an input of external energy. Here, we report the discovery of a process for initiating and sustaining the production of hydrogen from ammonia without heating the catalyst externally. The oxidative decomposition of ammonia to produce hydrogen at a high rate was repeatedly triggered at ambient temperature (∼25 °C) immediately after NH3 and O2 were supplied to a Ru/Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 catalyst that had been previously reduced at ambient temperature. For this catalyst, active hydrogen atoms formed on Ru0 nanoparticles reduced Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 even at ambient temperature, and the very exothermic oxidation of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2-x as well as Ru0 heated the catalyst bed to the catalytic auto-ignition temperature for ammonia combustion, which was lowered by the contribution of mobile (active) oxygen over the Ce0.5Zr0.5O2. Oxidative ammonia decomposition was thereby triggered.

Ammonia is a potential carrier of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel. Herein, the effects of calcination and reduction temperatures on the ammonia-synthesis activity of Ru/La0.5Ce0.5O1.75 are investigated under mild synthesis conditions (≤400 °C, ≤3 MPa), which are the preferred conditions for the storage of hydrogen as an energy source. The highest catalytic activity is obtained after calcination of the support at 700 °C and reduction of the catalyst at 650 °C. Calcination using a higher temperature than that used for reduction results in the induction of a strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) effect. This high-temperature calcination also provides heat resistance to the support, which prevents sintering of the primary support particles during reduction. Thus, calcination and reduction at temperatures higher than those normally used for the preparation of Ru catalysts provide a novel approach for obtaining supported highly dispersed Ru catalysts exhibiting the SMSI effect and high catalytic activities.

Pr2O3 supported Ru nanolayers and Ru nanoparticles catalysts were examined for the synthesis of quinolines. The Ru nanolayer was most active catalyst and showed a broad substrate scope. Structure-activity relationship demonstrated that the metallic state and morphology of Ru as well as the basic site of Pr2O3 were indispensable factors of this catalytic system.

To mitigate global problems related to energy and global warming, it is helpful to develop an ammonia synthesis process using catalysts that are highly active under mild conditions. Here we show that the ammonia synthesis activity per weight of catalyst of Ru/Ba/LaCeOx, prereduced at 700 °C, is the highest among reported oxide-supported Ru catalysts, 52.3 mmol h-1 gcat-1 at 350 °C, 1.0 MPa. The turnover frequency of Ru/Ba/LaCeOx at 350 °C was more than 8 times that of Cs+/Ru/MgO, which is a well-known active catalyst used as a benchmark; furthermore, hydrogen poisoning, a typical drawback for oxide-supported Ru catalysts, was effectively suppressed. Scanning transmission electron microscopy observations with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and electron energy loss spectroscopy analysis revealed that a low-crystalline, oxygen-deficient nanofraction including Ba2+, Ce3+, and La3+ had accumulated on the Ru particles. This unique structure was obtained by exploiting the surface dynamics of alkaline earth compounds and thermostable rare earth oxides that contain redox-active atoms during the reduction at an unusually high temperature. The nanofraction showed strong electron-donating ability because of the strong basicity of the included cations, removal of carbonate, and formation of oxygen defect sites that eliminated electron-withdrawing O2- anions from the interface between the nanofraction and Ru atom. Electrons were therefore effectively donated to antibonding π -orbitals of the N2 molecules via Ru in contact with the nanofraction, and NN triple bond cleavage, which is the rate-determining step for ammonia synthesis, was promoted.

We investigated the kinetics of NH3 synthesis over a catalyst consisting of low-crystalline Ru nano-layers supported on Pr2O3. We determined the reaction orders with respect to N2, H2, and NH3 at various temperatures and pressures over Ru/Pr2O3, as well as Ru/CeO2 and Ru/MgO. The reaction orders with respect to N2 were always almost unity for all the catalysts under all the reaction conditions, indicating that the rate-determining step was NN bond cleavage. In contrast, the reaction orders with respect to H2 differed among the catalysts and decreased with increasing pressure and increased with increasing temperature. Under all conditions, the reaction order with respect to H2 was largest over Ru/Pr2O3 and smallest over Ru/MgO, indicating that hydrogen poisoning of the Ru surface was retarded to a greater extent over Ru/Pr2O3 than over Ru/MgO. In agreement with the trends of the H2 reaction orders, the NH3 synthesis rates over Ru/Pr2O3 at 400 °C rose drastically (64 mmol h−1 g−1) as the pressure was increased from 0.1 to 3.0 MPa. Furthermore, decreasing the feed gas H2/N2 ratio at 3.0 MPa effectively increased the NH3 synthesis rate over Ru/Pr2O3, which reached 45 mmol h−1 g−1 at 350 °C at a H2/N2 ratio of 1/0.5.

Ru is an important catalyst in many types of reactions. Specifically, Ru is well known as the best monometallic catalyst for oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and has been practically used in residential fuel cell systems. However, Ru is a minor metal, and the supply risk often causes violent fluctuations in the price of Ru. Performance-improved and cost-reduced solid-solution alloy nanoparticles of the Cu-Ru system for CO oxidation are now presented. Over the whole composition range, all of the Cu x Ru 1−x nanoparticles exhibit significantly enhanced CO oxidation activities, even at 70 at % of inexpensive Cu, compared to Ru nanoparticles. Only 5 at % replacement of Ru with Cu provided much better CO oxidation activity, and the maximum activity was achieved by 20 at % replacement of Ru by Cu. The origin of the high catalytic performance was found as CO site change by Cu substitution, which was investigated using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra and theoretical calculations.

Herein, we report a protocol for rapid preparation of uniformly sized Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, and Pt nanoparticles stabilized by poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) via microwave-assisted chemical reduction with ethanol. Although the boiling point of ethanol, which has high reduction ability, is much lower than the temperature required for metal cation reduction, this solvent could be used as a reductant because the preparation was carried out in a sealed vessel. All metal nanoparticles showed similar sizes and amounts of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone). The crystallite size of the Pd and Pt nanoparticles could be controlled by changing the ethanol concentration. The catalytic performance of the prepared metal nanoparticles was evaluated for the hydrogenation of benzonitrile under ambient conditions (25 °C, 1 bar H2). Rh nanoparticles showed the highest benzonitrile conversion and highest selectivity for secondary imine product. Interestingly, the particle-size dependence of the catalytic activity of the Rh nanoparticles showed volcano-type behavior; that is, the second smallest Rh nanoparticles (3.3 nm) showed the highest activity, which was attributed to high metal surface area and high turnover frequency. Notably, this is the first report of nitrile hydrogenation to afford a secondary imine under ambient conditions.

© 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Ammonia is an important feedstock for producing fertiliser and is also a potential energy carrier. However, the process currently used for ammonia synthesis, the Haber-Bosch process, consumes a huge amount of energy; therefore the development of new catalysts for synthesising ammonia at a high rate under mild conditions (low temperature and low pressure) is necessary. Here, we show that Ru/La0.5Ce0.5O1.75pre-reduced at an unusually high temperature (650 °C) catalysed ammonia synthesis at extremely high rates under mild conditions; specifically, at a reaction temperature of 350 °C, the rates were 13.4, 31.3, and 44.4 mmol g-1h-1at 0.1, 1.0, and 3.0 MPa, respectively. Kinetic analysis revealed that this catalyst is free of hydrogen poisoning under the conditions tested. Electron energy loss spectroscopy combined with O2absorption capacity measurements revealed that the reduced catalyst consisted of fine Ru particles (mean diameter < 2.0 nm) that were partially covered with partially reduced La0.5Ce0.5O1.75and were dispersed on a thermostable support. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectra measured after N2addition to the catalyst revealed that N2adsorption on Ru atoms that interacted directly with the reduced La0.5Ce0.5O1.75weakened the NN bond and thus promoted its cleavage, which is the rate-determining step for ammonia synthesis. Our results indicate that high-temperature pre-reduction of this catalyst, which consists of Ru supported on a thermostable composite oxide with a cubic fluorite structure and containing reducible cerium, resulted in the formation of many sites that were highly active for N2reduction by hydrogen.

Size-controlled Rh nanoparticles stabilized by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) were quickly synthesized via alcohol reduction. Microwave-assisted synthesis in closed vessels allowed alcohols with low-to-high boiling points to be used as reductants under the same preparation conditions. Pure ethanol has not been used previously because its boiling point is lower than the temperature required for Rh3+ reduction. Alcohols with relatively strong reduction ability were found to lead to smaller Rh nanoparticles. The ability to oxidize CO was enhanced as the Rh particle size decreased.

Ammonia is a crucial chemical feedstock for fertilizer production and is a potential energy carrier. However, the current method of synthesizing ammonia, the Haber–Bosch process, consumes a great deal of energy. To reduce energy consumption, a process and a substance that can catalyze ammonia synthesis under mild conditions (low temperature and low pressure) are strongly needed. Here we show that Ru/Pr2O3 without any dopant catalyzes ammonia synthesis under mild conditions at 1.8 times the rates reported with other highly active catalysts. Scanning transmission electron micrograph observations and energy dispersive X-ray analyses revealed the formation of low-crystalline nano-layers of ruthenium on the surface of Pr2O3. Furthermore, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption revealed that the catalyst was strongly basic. These unique structural and electronic characteristics are considered to synergistically accelerate the rate-determining step of NH3 synthesis, cleavage of the N[triple bond, length as m-dash]N bond. We expect that the use of this catalyst will be a starting point for achieving efficient ammonia synthesis.

Catalytic behaviour of 0.5wt%Co/TiO2, prepared from TiO2containing only anatase phase, in CH4/CO2reforming at 2 MPa was strongly affected by reduction temperature. Co/TiO2reduced at relatively lower temperatures (<1123 K) lost all of its activity at the beginning of the reaction, whereas the catalyst reduced at higher temperatures (1123 K) showed relatively stable activity with only a slight amount of deposited coke. However, the latter catalyst lost all of activities at a higher space velocity after the reaction for 20 h, mainly due to oxidation of metallic Co. The addition of trace amounts of noble metals (Pt or Ru) improved the catalytic stability drastically by retarding the oxidation. It was confirmed that the strong resistant nature of Co/TiO2to coke deposition was retained after the addition of the noble metals.
