Heterogeneous Fe3 single-cluster catalyst for ammonia synthesis via an associative mechanism

The current industrial ammonia synthesis relies on the Haber-Bosch process that is limited by the Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi relation. Here, the authors propose a new strategy that an anchored Fe3 on θ-Al2O3(010) surface serves as a heterogeneous single cluster catalyst for ammonia synthesis from first-...
