Kt. Ranjit et al., PHOTOCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF DINITROGEN TO AMMONIA OVER NOBLE-METAL-LOADED TIO2, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 96(1-3), 1996, pp. 181-185
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).
