Alloy catalysts can achieve superior performance to single metal while reducing the cost by fine-tuning the composition and morphology. Bimetallic Ru-Fe nanoparticles were synthesized via liquid-phase reduction method followed by impregnation with multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to prepare Ru-Fe/CNTs catalysts. The Ru3Fe/CNTs catalyst yields a superior catalytic stability for ammonia decomposition compared to the Ru/CNTs catalyst. Hence, the ammonia synthesis rate of the Ru3Fe/CNTs catalyst was significantly higher than that of Ru/CNTs catalyst. The potential of bimetallic catalysts with reasonable composition and proportion will expand the research of efficient catalysts for ammonia decomposition and synthesis.
