Correlating Particle Size and Shape of Supported Ru/γ-AlO Catalysts with NH Decomposition Activity.

While ammonia synthesis and decomposition on Ru are known to be structure-sensitive reactions, the effect of particle shape on controlling the particle size giving maximum turnover frequency (TOF) is not understood. By controlling the catalyst pretreatment conditions, we have varied the particle siz...
