Effect of CeO₂ support structure on the catalytic performance of ammonia synthesis in an electric field at low temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Ammonia is an extremely important storage and transport medium for renewable energy, and technology is expected to produce it on demand and onsite using renewable energy. Applying a DC (direct current) to a solid catalyst layer with semiconducting properties makes ammonia synthesis highly efficient, even at low temperatures (approximately 400 K). In this process, oxide supports with semiconducting properties play important roles as metal supports and conduction fields for electrons and protons. The influence of the degree of particle aggregation on the support properties and ammonia synthesis using an electric field was evaluated for CeO₂, which is the best material for this purpose because of its semiconducting properties. The results showed that controlling the aggregation str
