Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia is influenced by the nature and amount of metal loading on TiO2. The optimum metal con tent varies depending on the nature of the metal. A correlation betwee n the ammonia yield and the intermediary M-H bond strength is establis hed (low bond strength gives rise to low ammonia yield).
