RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. To date, very few candidates show potential beyond that of the seminal work on titanium-doped sodium alanate. Credit: ACS, David et al.
