A series of Ag-Ru/CeO2 catalysts were prepared by conventional impregnation methods and characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, H-2-TPR, H-2-TPD-MS, and N-2-TPD. The activity test shows that ammonia concentration of the catalyst with 6% Ag is 9.4% at 10 MPa, 10,000 h(-1), 400 degrees C, which is 22% higher than that of Ru/CeO2. Such high catalytic activity was ascribed to three effects: electron donating property of partially reduced CeO2-x to Ru metal, the low workfunction of Ru atoms and the less competitive adsorbed between hydrogen and nitrogen on Ru atoms derived from the synergetic effect between Ag and Ru.
