Abstract
As a good carrier of hydrogen, ammonia-water has been employed to extract hydrogen in many ways. Here, we demonstrate a simple, green, ultrafast, and highly efficient method for hydrogen extraction from ammonia-water by laser bubbling in liquids (LBL) at room temperature and ambient pressure without catalyst. A maximum apparent yield of 33.7 mmol/h and a real yield of 93.6 mol/h were realized in a small operating space, which were far higher than the yields of most hydrogen evolution reactions from ammonia-water under ambient conditions. We also established that laser-induced cavitation bubbles generated a transient high temperature, which enabled a very suitable environment for hydrogen extraction from ammonia-water. The laser used here can serve as a demonstration of potentially solar-pumped catalyst-free hydrogen extraction and other chemical synthesis. We anticipate that the LBL technique will open unprecedented opportunities to produce chemicals.

Abstract
Ammonia, as an essential and economical fuel, is a key intermediate for the production of innumerable nitrogen-based compounds. Such compounds have found vast applications in the agricultural world, biological world (amino acids, proteins, and DNA), and various other chemical transformations. However, unlike other compounds, the decomposition of ammonia is widely recognized as an important step towards a safe and sustainable environment. Ammonia has been popularly recommended as a viable candidate for chemical storage because of its high hydrogen content. Although ruthenium (Ru) is considered an excellent catalyst for ammonia oxidation; however, its high cost and low abundance demand the utilization of cheaper, robust, and earth abundant catalyst. The present review article underlines the various ammonia decomposition methods with emphasis on the use of non-noble metals, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and several other carbides as well as nitride species. In this review, we have highlighted various advances in ammonia decomposition catalysts. The major challenges that persist in designing such catalysts and the future developments in the production of efficient materials for ammonia decomposition are also discussed.

Abstract
Ammonia has the advantages of being easy to liquefy, easy to store, and having a high hydrogen content of 17.3 wt%, which can be produced without COx through an ammonia decomposition using an appropriate catalyst. In this paper, a series of FeCr bimetallic oxide nanocatalysts with a uniform morphology and regulated composition were synthesized by the urea two-step hydrolysis method, which exhibited the high-performance decomposition of ammonia. The effects of different FeCr metal ratios on the catalyst particle size, morphology, and crystal phase were investigated. The Fe0.75Cr0.25 sample exhibited the highest catalytic activity, with an ammonia conversion of nearly 100% at 650 °C. The dual metal catalysts clearly outperformed the single metal samples in terms of their catalytic performance. Besides XRD, XPS, and SEM being used as the means of the conventional characterization, the local structural changes of the FeCr metal oxide catalysts in the catalytic ammonia decomposition were investigated by XAFS. It was determined that the Fe metal and FeNx of the bcc structure were the active species of the ammonia-decomposing catalyst. The addition of Cr successfully prevented the Fe from sintering at high temperatures, which is more favorable for the formation of stable metal nitrides, promoting the continuous decomposition of ammonia and improving the decomposition activity of the ammonia. This work reveals the internal relationship between the phase and structural changes and their catalytic activity, identifies the active catalytic phase, thus guiding the design and synthesis of catalysts for ammonia decomposition, and excavates the application value of transition-metal-based nanocomposites in industrial catalysis.

Abstract
The emerging concept of the hydrogen economy is facing challenges associated with hydrogen storage and transport. The utilization of ammonia as an energy (hydrogen) carrier for the on-site generation of hydrogen via ammonia decomposition has gained attraction among the scientific community. Ruthenium-based catalysts are highly active but their high cost and less abundance are limitations for scale-up application. Therefore, combining ruthenium with cheaper transition metals such as nickel, cobalt, iron, molybdenum, etc., to generate metal-metal (bimetallic) surfaces suitable for ammonia decomposition has been investigated in recent years. Herein, the recent trends in developing bimetallic catalyst systems, the role of metal type, support materials, promoter, synthesis techniques, and the investigations of the reaction kinetics and mechanism for ammonia decomposition have been reviewed.

Characteristics of High Surface Area Molybdenum Nitride and Its Activity for the Catalytic Decomposition of Ammonia. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
High surface area (>170 m2 g−1) molybdenum nitride was prepared by the temperature-programmed nitridation of α-MoO3 with pure ammonia. The process was optimized by adjusting the experimental variables: the reaction temperature, heating rate, and molar flow rate of ammonia. The physicochemical properties of the as-formed molybdenum nitride were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, transmission electron microscopy, temperature-programmed oxidation/reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Of the experimental variables, the nitridation temperature was found to be the most critical parameter determining the surface area of the molybdenum nitride. When the prepared molybdenum nitride was exposed to air, the specific surface area rapidly decreased because of the partial oxidation of molybdenum nitride to molybdenum oxynitride. However, the surface area recovered to 90% the initial value after H2 treatment. The catalyst with the highest degree of nitridation showed the best catalytic activity, superior to that of unmodified α-MoO3, for the decomposition of ammonia because of its high surface area.

Abstract
In the present work, the solvent-free hydrodeoxygenation of palm oil as a representative triglyceride model compound to diesel-like hydrocarbons was evaluated in a batch reactor using Pt-decorated MoO2 catalysts. The catalysts with various Pt loadings (0.5-3%) were synthesized by an incipient wetness impregnation method. The metallic Pt and MoO2 phases were detected in the XRD patterns of as-prepared catalysts after the reaction and acted as active components for the deoxygenation reactions. The XPS experiments confirmed the existence of metallic Pt and PtO x species. The XANES investigation of Mo L3-edge spectra elucidated a change in the valence state by the transformation of MoO3 into MoO2 species after the deoxygenation reaction. The TEM observation revealed the formation of Pt nanoparticles in the range of 1-3 nm decorated on MoO2 species. The number of acid sites increased with stronger metal-support interactions on increasing the Pt loading. The catalytic performance of the MoO2 catalyst significantly improved with a small amount of Pt decoration. However, the further increase in Pt loading did not relatively increase the deoxygenation activity due to the formation of the agglomerated Pt particles. The high performance of the decorated catalysts could be attributed to the moderate acidity from the Pt dispersed on MoO2 toward decarbonylation and decarboxylation reactions.

Abstract
This short review aims at providing an overview of the most recent literature regarding transition metal nitrides (TMN) applied in heterogeneous catalysis. These materials have received renewed attention in the last decade due to its potential to substitute noble metals mainly in biomass and energy transformations, the decomposition of ammonia being one of the most studied reactions. The reactions considered in this review are limited to thermal catalysis. However the potential of these materials spreads to other key applications as photo- and electrocatalysis in hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. Mono, binary and exceptionally ternary metal nitrides have been synthetized and evaluated as catalysts and, in some cases, promoters are added to the structure in an attempt to improve their catalytic performance. The objective of the latest research is finding new synthesis methods that allow to obtain smaller metal nanoparticles and increase the surface area to improve their activity, selectivity and stability under reaction conditions. After a brief introduction and description of the most employed synthetic methods, the review has been divided in the application of transition metal nitrides in the following reactions: hydrotreatment, oxidation and ammonia synthesis and decomposition.

Abstract
Chemical and morphological transformations during Ni2Mo3N synthesis were studied in this work. Nitride samples were synthesized from oxide precursors in H2/N2 flow and were analyzed by thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods. In addition, physical and chemical adsorption properties were studied using low-temperature N2 physisorption and NH3 temperature-programmed desorption. It was shown that nitride formation proceeds through a sequence of phase transformations: NiMoO4 + MoO3 → Ni + NiMo + MoO2 → Ni + NiMo + Mo2N → Ni2Mo3N. The weight changes that were calculated from the proposed reactions were in agreement with the experimental data from thermogravimetry. The morphology of the powder changed from platelets and spheres for the oxide sample, to aggregates of needle-like particles for the intermediate product, to porous particles with an extended surface area for the nitride final product. The obtained results should prove useful for subsequent Ni2Mo3N based catalysts production process optimization.

[PMID: 35547483 PMCID: PMC9085908 DOI: 10.1039/c8ra06100a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Ammonia decomposition has attracted increasing attention as a promising process for the on-site generation of hydrogen. In this study, Ni catalysts supported on perovskite-type oxides (ABO3) were prepared and the activity for ammonia decomposition was examined. The Ni/ANbO3 (A = Na and K) and Ni/AEMnO3 (AE = Ca, Sr, and Ba) catalysts were less effective for this reaction. Meanwhile, the Ni/REAlO3 (RE = La, Sm, and Gd) catalysts exhibited relatively high activity. For Ni/AETiO3 and Ni/AEZrO3, the performance strongly depended on the A-site element of the perovskite-type oxides, and the Sr and Ba elements were more effective than the Ca one in the respective series. The catalytic activity for Ni/AEZrO3 was higher than Ni/AETiO3 in the case of the same alkaline earth element, and Ni/BaZrO3 was the most active among the samples investigated in this work. For these series, the order in the performance corresponded well with that in the basic property. The nitrogen desorption profiles revealed that the evolution of nitrogen atoms, which is one of the kinetically slow steps, effectively proceeded for Ni/SrZrO3 and Ni/BaZrO3 compared with the conventional Ni catalysts. This promotion effect would be ascribed to the strong basic properties of the SrZrO3 and BaZrO3 supports, resulting in the high activity of Ni/SrZrO3 and Ni/BaZrO3 for ammonia decomposition. Ni/SrZrO3 and Ni/BaZrO3 catalysts showed high activity for ammonia decomposition since these supports promoted the nitrogen desorption step.![]()
