Ammonia (NH3) is an indispensable chemical that serves as a key precursor in the production of a wide array of commercially essential nitrogenous compounds. The catalytic conversion of nitrogen (N2) to NH3 is a kinetically complicated and energetically demanding reaction. In this regard, the incepti...
