摘要

Facing with the problem of low activity at low temperatures of Ru-based ammonia decomposition catalyst, herein, the influence of Ru precursor and alkali metal modification on the hydrogen production activity of Ru/Pr6O11 catalyst were studied. The Cs/Ru3(CO)12/Pr6O11 catalyst exhibited the optimal activity (NH3 conversion of 46.1% and H2 production rate of 1.024 mmol·min−1·gcat−1 at 350 °C). Characterizations showed that Ru3(CO)12/Pr6O11 has the smallest Ru particle size and the most uniform size distribution, and the existence of PrO2 phase in Ru(NO)(NO3)3/Pr6O11 and Cl groups in RuCl3/Pr6O11 reduce the activity. Additionally, due to hydrogen spillover, SMSI and Ru re-distribution, the more alkaline alkali metal has a stronger promoting effect, which follows the law of volcanic curve. In-situ DRIFTS and DFT calculations showed that the rate determining step on Ru(0001) surface is the first dehydrogenation step of NH3 with the activation barrier of 2.19 eV.
