According to advanced 13C MAS NMR experiments and DFT investigations of multi-step pathways as well as DFT-based NMR assignment of experimental spectra, it is shown that carbide formation can occur on ruthenium NPs during CO bond cleavage.

<p>To mitigate global problems related to energy and global warming, it is helpful to develop an ammonia synthesis process using catalysts that are highly active under mild conditions. Here we show that the ammonia synthesis activity of Ru/Ba/LaCeO<i><sub>x</sub></i> pre-reduced at 700 °C is the highest reported among oxide-supported Ru catalysts. Our results indicate that low crystalline oxygen-deficient composite oxides, which include Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Ce<sup>3+</sup> and La<sup>3+</sup>, with strong electron-donating ability, accumulate on Ru particles and thus promote N≡N bond cleavage, which is the rate determining step for ammonia synthesis.</p>
