Merged summary

TL;DR - A JACS study introduces a Ni/La-doped Y₂C electride catalyst that separates N₂ activation from H₂ dissociation, enabling efficient and stable ammonia synthesis under relatively mild pressure.

  • Y₂C’s electron-rich interlayers activate N₂, while Ni nanoparticles dissociate H₂ and supply reactive hydrogen.
  • Spectroscopy and DFT identify moderately activated (N₂)δ⁻ as the key hydrogenatable intermediate; excessive activation produces strongly bound N³⁻.
  • La doping balances N₂ binding and activation, raising activity to 34.6 mmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ at 400 °C and 1.0 MPa.
  • Ni/Y₂C operated stably for over 200 hours and exhibited an activation energy of 46.1 kJ·mol⁻¹.
