The denitridation behaviour of binary iron, cobalt and rehnium nitrides under H 2 /Ar has been investigated. The iron nitride was found to lose over 70 % of its as prepared nitrogen content at 400°C. The cobalt nitride was completely denitrided at 250°C. Rhenium nitride lost close to 90 % of its nitrogen at 350°C. In addition, Co-Re 4 prepared by ammonolyis was investigated, whilst only traces of NH 3 were lost from this material under H 2 /Ar at 400°C, with H 2 /N 2 it proved to be an active ambient pressure ammonia synthesis catalyst in accordance with previous literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
