Manganese nitride (Mn4N) is a transition metal, which is one of the elements in minerals. It is a catalyst for a variety of alloys. For instance, it is used in high-strength steels. In addition, it also supports Ni3 and Fe3 clusters.

Manganese nitride is an important doping agent for many metals, such as nickel, tungsten and lithium. It is characterized by an active amorphous surface layer, which enhances the stability and durability of its catalytic activity.

It has been reported to be a highly active catalyst for ammonia synthesis at 350 degC, when LiH is added. However, there is little information about the reactivity of manganese nitride in lattice nitrogen environments. Here, we report the characterization of manganese nitride structures and their impact on nitrogen mobility. We also investigated the nitrogen transfer properties of manganese-based materials by using ammonia synthesis.

The reactivity of Li-Mn-N systems was evaluated after alternating nitridation cycles. It was found that the manganese nitride reactivity increased significantly after adding lithium. This resulted in a higher reactivity compared to A-Mn-N systems.

We also measured the binding energies of Mn 2p3/2 for 2. These results indicate that the anisotropic ground doublet was stabilized by spin-orbit coupling. Our measurements were within the expected range.

Manganese nitride was prepared from molten salts by NaNH2 synthesis. This method has a number of advantages, such as high production efficiency and stability.

We have also explored the reactivity of manganese based materials with iron and potassium. These nitrides exhibit lattice nitrogen reactivity towards hydrogen.
