چکیده

We demonstrate that the ammonia decomposition reaction catalysed by sodium amide proceeds under a different mechanism to ammonia decomposition over transition metal catalysts. Isotopic variants of ammonia and sodium amide reveal a significant kinetic isotope effect in contrast to the nickel-catalysed reaction where there is no such effect. The bulk composition of the catalyst is also shown to affect the kinetics of the ammonia decomposition reaction.

Anionic and Cationic Surfactants in Ammonia Gas-Mediated Synthesis of β-Ni(OH)2 and NiO Nanostructures

Up to now, researchers have proposed several synthesis methods for the preparation of β-nickel(II) hydroxide nanostructures. Most of these approaches contain harsh synthetic conditions such as multi-step processes, high temperatures and long reaction time. In this work, a novel, facile and low cost method is introduced to produce of β-Ni(OH)2 nanostructures using the gas-solution precipitation ...

Ammonia-mediated Method for One-step and Surfactant-free Synthesis of Magnetite Nanoparticles

Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by a novel one-step and surfactant-free approach utilizing ferrous ion, as a single iron source. In this manner, the reaction occurs between two aqueous solutions via the spontaneous transfer of ammonia gas from one to another in room temperature. No ferric source or oxidizing specie, oxidation controlling and capping agents are ne...

Ammonia decomposition catalysis using non-stoichiometric lithium imide† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Data analysis procedures, data fitting procedures, X-ray diffraction pattern of Li2ND, details of reduction of LiND2 unit cell, POLARIS blank cell results, NPD patterns, exponential fits to QGA data and long-duration reaction data. See DOI: 10.1039/c5sc00205b

We demonstrate that non-stoichiometric lithium imide is a highly active catalyst for the production of highpurity hydrogen from ammonia, with superior ammonia decomposition activity to a number of other catalyst materials. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that the catalyst deviates from pure imide stoichiometry under ammonia flow, with active catalytic behaviour observed across a ...

The particle-size dependence of the activation energy for decomposition of lithium amide.

thus suggesting that the thermodynamics and kinetics of the decomposition depend on the particle size. The high surfaceto-volume ratio of nanoparticles that result from the ballmilling process not only leads to an increase in the number of surface-active sites for reaction, but may also affect the actual reaction mechanisms. Based on results of ab initio calculations for native point defects an...
