  • Heterogeneous Fe3 single-cluster catalyst for ammonia synthesis via an associative Mechanism
    Nature Communications, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jin-cheng Liu, Xue-lu Ma, Yang-gang Wang, Hai Xiao, Yong Li, Jun Li
    Abstract:

    The current industrial ammonia synthesis relies on Haber–Bosch process that is initiated by the Dissociative Mechanism, in which the adsorbed N2 dissociates directly, and thus is limited by Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi (BEP) relation. Here we propose a new strategy that an anchored Fe3 cluster on the θ-Al2O3(010) surface as a heterogeneous catalyst for ammonia synthesis from first-principles theoretical study and microkinetic analysis. We have studied the whole catalytic Mechanism for conversion of N2 to NH3 on Fe3/θ-Al2O3(010), and find that an associative Mechanism, in which the adsorbed N2 is first hydrogenated to NNH, dominates over the Dissociative Mechanism, which we attribute to the large spin polarization, low oxidation state of iron, and multi-step redox capability of Fe3 cluster. The associative Mechanism liberates the turnover frequency (TOF) for ammonia production from the limitation due to the BEP relation, and the calculated TOF on Fe3/θ-Al2O3(010) is comparable to Ru B5 site.The current industrial ammonia synthesis relies on the Haber-Bosch process that is limited by the Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi relation. Here, the authors propose a new strategy that an anchored Fe3 on θ-Al2O3(010) surface serves as a heterogeneous single cluster catalyst for ammonia synthesis from first-principles calculations and microkinetic analysis.
