Notes:
Na—Y zeolite was cation exchanged with Ru and tested in ammonia synthesis at atmospheric pressure. Activities up to ∼10% of the commercial iron catalyst scaled by the active surface area were observed. Characterization of the zeolites with XPS was complemented with reference thermal desorption spectroscopy data on a polycrystalline Ru metal surface. The catalysts showed high thermal stability in in situ reduction-oxidation cycles. The chemical state of the Ru will be discussed. From shift measurements the Ru is metallic in the active state, but line shape arguments point to a cluster-like particle morphology. The location of the Ru inside or outside the zeolite framework will be discussed.
