Researchers develop earth-abundant photocatalyst for conversion of ammonia into hydrogen

Green Car Congress

and Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment have created a scalable photocatalyst that can convert ammonia into hydrogen fuel. This result demonstrates the potential for highly efficient, electrically driven production of hydrogen from an ammonia carrier with earth-abundant transition metals.

Rice team demonstrates more efficient photocatalyst for converting ammonia to hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Rice University nanoscientists have demonstrated a new catalyst that can convert ammonia into hydrogen fuel at ambient pressure using only light energy, mainly due to a plasmonic effect that makes the catalyst more efficient. Each molecule of ammonia contains one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. That was the first generation.
