Plasma-Assisted Dinitrogen Activation via Dual Platinum Cluster Catalysis:A Strategy for Ammonia Synthesis under Mild Conditions

The activation and reduction of N2 to produce ammo-nia under mild conditions is of great interest,but challenges remain.Here,we report a breakthrough in efficient dinitrogen cleavage by employing small Ptn+(n=1-4)clusters and convenient plasma assistance.The reactivity of Pt3+is found to be substantially higher than that of other clusters,and the formed Pt3N7+shows prominent mass abundance among the odd-nitrogen products.We illustrate that a chain re-action path within dual cluster cooperation,especially via a"3+2"mode,is beneficial to N≡N triple bond dissociation,embodying efficient synergistic cataly-sis.A key intermediate containing a bridged N2 of binding with two Pt clusters facilitates N2 activation with significantly enhanced interactions between the d orbitals of Pt and the antibonding π*-orbitals of N2.Furthermore,by reacting the PtnNm+clusters with H2,we observed hydrogenation products of both even-and odd-hydrogen species,indicative of ammonia release.The in situ synthesized platinum nitride clus-ters,typically Pt3N7+,induce a highly active N site for hydrogen anchoring,enabling a cost-effective hydro-treating process for ammonia synthesis.
