The invention provides a method of producing ammonia, the method comprising: providing a catalyst comprising supported metallic microdroplets, the metallic microdroplets comprising (i) at least one low-melting metal element selected from gallium and indium, and (ii) at least one promotor metal element selected from the group 1-2 and 7-11 metals; and contacting the catalyst with gas comprising dinitrogen and dihydrogen, at a reaction temperature sufficiently high that the metallic microdroplets comprise a liquid metal alloy of the at least one low-melting metal element and the at least one promotor metal element, thereby reacting the dinitrogen and dihydrogen to form ammonia.
A method of producing ammonia, the method comprising:
A catalyst comprising supported metallic microdroplets, the metallic microdroplets comprising (i) at least one low-melting metal element selected from gallium and indium, and (ii) at least one promotor metal element selected from the group 1-2 and 7-11 metals, wherein at least a proportion of the metallic microdroplets comprise (i) a solid metal alloy or intermetallic compound enriched in the at least one promotor metal element and (ii) a second metallic phase enriched in the at least one low-melting metal element.
