文摘The catalytic performance is highly related to the catalyst structure.Herein,a series of Ni nanoparticles supported on Y_(2)O_(3) with different morphologies were successfully synthesized via hydrothermal process screening different pH environments.These Ni/Y_(2)O_(3)catalysts were applied to efficiently produce CO_(x)-free H2through ammonia decomposition.We identify a significant impact of Y_(2)O_(3)supports on nickel nanoclusters sizes and dispersion.The experimental results show that Ni/Y11 catalyst achieves 100% ammonia decomposition conversion under a gas hour space velocity(GHSV) of 12,000 ml·h^(-1)·gcat^(-1) and temperature of 650℃.Such a high level of activity over Ni/Y11 catalyst was attributed to a large specific surface area,appropriate alkalinity,and small Ni nanoparticles diameter with high dispersion.
