The development of effective Ru catalyst for ammonia synthesis is of important practical value and scientific significance because of the wide application of ammonia as a fertilizer and its promising applications in the renewable energy. Generally, ZrO₂ was regarded as an inferior support for Ru catalyst used in ammonia synthesis. Here we prepare ZrO₂ with monoclinic phase and carbon species from ZrCl₄ following the preparation route of UiO-66 as well as ammonia treatment. Owing to the presence of a larger amount of hydrogen adsorption as well as the easier desorption of hydrogen species, the ill effect of hydrogen species on the nitrogen adsorption-desorption and ammonia synthesis can be effectively alleviated. The resulting ZrO₂-supported Ru catalyst showed 4 times higher ammonia synthesis activity than the conventional Ru/ZrO₂ obtained from zirconium nitrate.
