Abstract

The study of ruthenium catalysts for ammonia decomposition on carbonized and noncarbonized Al2O3 nanofibers (ANF) showed that activity of the catalysts with carbonized supports (ANFC) was twofold higher as compared to noncarbonized ones. Thus, on Ru/ANFC and Ru-Cs/ANFC the release of hydrogen reached 8.7 and 18.3 mmol H2/(min·gcat), respectively, whereas on Ru/ANF and Ru-Cs/ANF, only 4.4 and 9.6 mmol H2/(min·gcat), respectively. According to TEM, Ru particles on ANFC have a greater size than on ANF but are distributed more uniformly. As shown by TEM, XRD and XPS data, ANFC and ANF fibers are strongly different.
