A novel ammonia-synthesis catalyst, potassium-promoted ruthenium supported on fullerene (K-Ru/C_60/70), was prepared and evaluated. It was found that K-Ru/C_60/70 was the most active catalyst for ammonia synthesis at atmospheric pressure and 623 K compared with other support materials such as silica, activated carbon, zeolite, γ-Al₂O3 and rare earth metal oxide.
