Titanium-Based Hydrides as Heterogeneous Catalysts for Ammonia Synthesis
Abstract
The problem of activating N 2 and its subsequent hydrogenation to form NH 3 has been approached from many directions. One of these approaches involves the use of transition metal hydride complexes. Recently, transition metal hydride complexes of Ti and Ta have been shown to activate N 2, but without catalytic formation of NH 3 . Here, we show that at elevated temperatures (400 °C, 5 MPa), solid-state hydride-containing Ti compounds (TiH 2 and BaTiO 2.5 H 0.5 ) form a nitride-hydride surface similar to those observed with titanium clusters, but continuously (∼7 days) form NH 3 under H 2 /N 2 flow conditions to achieve a catalytic cycle, with activity (up to 2.8 mmol·g· –1 ·h –1 ) almost comparable to conventional supported Ru catalysts such as Cs–Ru/MgO or Ru/BaTiO 3 that we have tested. As with the homogeneous analogues, the initial presence of hydride within the catalyst is critical. A rare hydrogen-based Mars van Krevelen mechanism may be at play here. Conventional scaling rules of pure metals predict essentially no activity for Ti, making this a previously overlooked element, but our results show that by introducing hydride, the repertoire of heterogeneous catalysts can be expanded to include formerly unexamined compositions without resorting to precious metals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
