Recently, our research group collaborated with a team of Associate Professor Wu Anan from Xiamen University and found that alkaline (earth) metal hydrides, such as lithium hydride (LiH), can mediate the hydrogenolysis of aniline C-N bonds to generate benzene and ammonia (abbreviated as CL-HDN) through a chemical looping, in which the nucleophilic attack of hydride ions (Hˉ) on the benzene ring...
Recently, our research group was invited to publish a review article on ion migration in hydrides.Hydrides are hydrogen/energy carriers with potential applications in chemical conversion, hydrogen storage, heat storage, ion conductivity, etc.The radius of the H- ion of hydrides is close to that of O2-, but they have less charge, special coordination, and are easy to polarize. These structural...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Guo Jianping in our group, in collaboration with a team of Professor Tejs Vegge from the Technical University of Denmark, revealed the reaction mechanism of nitrogen fixation and hydrogenation to produce ammonia by non-transition metal-based barium hydride (BaH2) through a combination of experimental design and theoretical calcu...
Recently, our group, in collaboration with Associate Professor Wu Anan from Xiamen University, has made new progress in the research of catalytic ammonia synthesis. We discovered in situ generated samarium hydrogen (Sm‒H) species on the surface of samarium oxide-supported ruthenium clusters (Ru clusters/ Sm2O3) ammonia synthesis catalysts and revealed their catalytic mechanism of participation...
Recently, our group was invited to publish a review article on hydride-mediated activation and transformation of nitrogen molecules.Ammonia is an important bulk chemical and an energy carrier with great application prospects. "Activation and conversion of nitrogen to ammonia under mild conditions" is a challenging research topic pursued by generations of chemists.The activation and transformati...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Guo Jianping from our group, in collaboration with a team of Associate Professor Wu Anan from Xiamen University, has made new progress in the research of catalytic selective hydrogenation of alkynes. The collaborative team applied coordination hydride materials to the catalytic selective hydrogenation of alkynes and developed a ...
Recently, a research team lead by Professor Chen Ping and Professor Guo Jianping from our group, in collaboration with a team of Professor Tejs Vegge from the Technical University of Denmark, a team of Li Haiyang and a team of Jiang Ling from our institute, have made important progress in the research of catalytic synthesis of ammonia. For the first time, the team applied coordinated hydride ma...
Recently, our research group, in collaboration with Professor Weidenthaler from the Max Planck Institute for Coal Chemistry in Germany and Associate Professor Wu Anan from Xiamen University, discovered a Ba-Cr quaternary nitride-hydride catalyst that achieves the catalytic synthesis of ammonia under relatively mild conditions.Ammonia is not only the main raw material for nitrogen-based fertiliz...
