The ammonia production properties upon reduction in hydrogen of the anti-perovskite nitrides Co₃ZnN, Ni₃ZnN, Co₃InN, and Ni₃InN have been investigated. Single phases with ideal anti-perovskite structures (Space group: Pm-3m) were prepared for all the nitrides by the ammonolysis of the corresponding precursor oxides and all the nitrides were observed to produce ammonia in high yields when reacted with H₂/Ar. The cumulative ammonia production values at 400 °C were 3069, 2925, 289, and 1029 μmol-NH₃ g⁻¹ for Co₃ZnN, Ni₃ZnN, Co₃InN, and Ni₃InN, respectively and the order of the release rates was Ni₃ZnN > Co₃ZnN > Ni₃InN > Co₃InN. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that Co₃ZnN and Co₃InN were decomposed upon the loss of lattice N, whereas Ni₃ZnN and Ni₃InN were transformed into Ni₃Zn and Ni₃In via the intermediate phases Ni₃ZnN_x and Ni₃InN_y. The crystal structures of these intermediate phases are related to their initial structures, indicating that the loss of lattice N in Ni₃ZnN and Ni₃InN was topotactic.

已经研究了抗钙钛矿氮化物Co ₃ ZnN，Ni ₃ ZnN，Co ₃ InN和Ni ₃ InN在氢还原时的氨生产特性。通过氨化相应的前体氧化物，为所有氮化物制备了具有理想的抗钙钛矿结构的单相（空间群：Pm -3 m），并且观察到所有氮化物与H ₂ / Ar反应时均以高收率产生氨。在400℃下的累积氨产量值分别为3069，2925，289，和1029微摩尔-NH ₃克^-1为钴₃ ZNN，镍₃ ZNN，钴₃分别为InN和Ni ₃ InN，释放速率的顺序为Ni ₃ ZnN> Co ₃ ZnN> Ni ₃ InN> Co ₃ InN。X射线衍射研究表明，Co ₃ ZnN和Co ₃ InN在晶格N消失时分解，而Ni ₃ ZnN和Ni ₃ InN通过中间相Ni ₃ ZnN _x和Ni ₃ Zn转变为Ni ₃ Zn和Ni ₃ In。Ni ₃ InN _y。这些中间相的晶体结构与其初始结构有关，表明Ni中晶格N的损失₃ ZnN和Ni ₃ InN是全能的。
