Caption

Potential energy diagrams for (a) the first N-H bond dissociation and (b) N-N coupling of adsorbed N atoms (N* + N*) to form *N-N* in NH3 decomposition. The optimized structural models for each step of Ni1Ce1Oα are shown in yellow boxes. Those for Ni1Ce0.5Y0.5Oα are shown in blue boxes, and those for Ni1Y1Oα are shown in red boxes.
