چکیده
The successful synthesis of high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticles, a long-sought goal in materials science, opens new frontier science with applications across catalysis, structural alloys, and energetic materials. Recently, Co25Mo45Fe10Ni10Cu10 HEA made earth-abundant elements was shown to have high catalytic activity for ammonia decomposition, which rivals that state-of-the-art, but prohibitively expensive, ruthenium catalysts. Using computational approach based on first-principles calculations conjunction data analytics machine learning, we build model rapidly compute the adsorption energy H, N, NHx (x = 1, 2, 3) species CoMoFeNiCu surfaces varied compositions atomic arrangements. We show 25/45 Co/Mo ratio identified experimentally as most active composition decomposition increases likelihood surface adsorbs nitrogen equivalently while at same time interacting moderately strongly intermediates. Our study underscores importance modeling learning identify optimize alloys their near-infinite design space.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ru/Al2O3 Nanocatalyst for Ammonia Synthesis
Ru/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation as well as colloid deposition of RuCl3 precursor via in situ reduction with ethylene glycol (polyol) method on alumina support. The samples were characterized by TEM, XRD and TPR techniques. The catalytic performance tests were carried out in a fixed-bed micro-reactor under diffe...
متن کاملSimple Equations for Predicting Entropy of Ammonia-Water Mixture
This work presents a set of three simple and explicit equations as a function of temperature, pressure, and mass fraction for calculation of the entropy of the ammonia-water mixture in saturated and super heated conditions. They are intended for use in the optimization and second law efficiency of absorption processes. The equations are constructed by the least square method for curve fitting u...

The oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen by selective catalytic oxidation (NH3-SCO) over a bimetallic CuO/CeO2 nanoparticle catalyst at temperatures between 423 and 673K. A bimetallic CuO/CeO2 nanoparticle catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method at molar ratio of 6:4. This study also considers how the concentration of influent NH3 (C0 = 800 ppm), the space velocity (GHSV = 92000/hr), the r...
متن کاملAmmonia synthesis over Co-Mo alloy nanoparticle catalyst prepared via sodium naphthalenide-driven reduction.
We report the synthesis of Co-Mo alloy nanoparticles with a uniform distribution of the alloy elements on CeO2via sodium naphthalenide-driven reduction. The resulting sample functions as a highly efficient and stable catalyst for ammonia synthesis. Based on the metal weight, the catalytic activity is ca. 20 times higher than that of Co3Mo3N.
