Abstract

NH ₃ was produced by the reaction of plasma-excited nitrogen with surface OH groups on Al ₂ O ₃ . The surface of the Al ₂ O ₃ formed by the N ₂ plasma treatment was different from the dehydroxylated surface (Al ⁺ + Al-O ^- ), which is obtained by usual thermal treatment, and may be changed to an excess oxygen phase; i.e., the formation of a novel Al ₂ O ₃ surface (designated by Al-O (black star)). The Al-O (black star) surface was restored by the water treatment, which was accompanied with O ₂ generation. The amount of generated O ₂ well correlated with the amount of ammonia produced. We proposed that an uphill reaction (N ₂ + 3H ₂ O → 2NH ₃ + 3/2O ₂ ) takes place on the Al ₂ O ₃ surface by means of N ₂ plasma treatment followed by water treatment at room temperature.
