Energy profiles of intermediate steps during ammonia synthesis

Caption

Comparative diagram of the energy required in each step during NH3 synthesis using different catalysts. Ni/CeN has the most favorable energy profile for the formation of new nitrogen vacancies, which results in better catalytic performance.
