High Dispersion and Electron Density Boost Ru Catalyst Activity for Ammonia Decomposition

Ruthenium (Ru) particles with high dispersion and elevated electron density have been found to possess exceptional catalytic activity for ammonia decomposition. The enhanced dispersion of Ru particles maximizes the exposure of active sites, while the increased electron density promotes the adsorption and activation of ammonia molecules on the catalyst surface. This synergistic effect significantly enhances the rate of ammonia decomposition, making these Ru particles highly promising catalysts for hydrogen production and other applications.
