Surface adsorption properties of HEA-CoxMoy. a Nitrogen TPD profiles recorded with a temperature ramping rate of 10 oC min−1. b, c Estimation of the nitrogen adsorption energies (ΔEN) for the HEA-CoxMoy catalysts by using the plots of Ln(β/T2) ~ 1/T for the nitrogen TPD profiles (β = 10, 20, and 30 oC min−1 represents the ramping rates used for the TPD measurements). d, e Correlations between ΔEN and catalytic activities (d) and Eapp (e) showing a volcano-type behavior for the HEA-CoxMoy catalysts, with HEA-Co25Mo45 being close to the peak position. f Plots of the NH3 and H2 reaction orders (at 425 oC) versus the nitrogen adsorption energies.
