Ammonium formate decomposition over Au/TiO2: a unique case of preferential selectivity against NH3 oxidation.
The unique selectivity of Au/TiO2 for converting ammonium formate to CO2 in the presence of excess O2 and H2O without oxidising NH3 up to 300 °C is reported. The catalyst is highly stable and selective even after severe hydrothermal aging.
