“…In addition, interactions between Ru and the TM from the support matrix (Co, Fe or Mn) also play an important role in the Ru dispersion and particle size, and in the global kinetic mechanism as well, given that the presence of a second active center is reported for these catalysts: while N 2 dissociation takes place on Ru sites, hydrogenation of N * dissociated atoms to form NH x species occurs over La surfaces [64]. On the other hand, single-phase LaRuSi intermetallic material was reported as an efficient catalyst for ammonia synthesis [65], since stronger chemical bonds between Ru and La are assumed to improve the electron transfer [63], whose activity is attributed to a dual behavior as an electride material, similarly to aforementioned intermetallic supports [24,[61][62][63], as well as the reversible exchange between lattice hydride ions and anionic electrons that takes place [65], leading to an activation energy as low as 40.4 kJ•mol −1 . Further investigations concluded that (La,Ce,Pr)RuSi intermetallics show an excellent stability to air and moisture [66], with no relevant changes in ammonia synthesis rate after half a year of exposure to ambient air during the storage of the material.…”
