Highly efficient and stable Ru-free catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia

Green Car Congress

Although the thermocatalytic ammonia decomposition reaction (ADR) is an effective way to obtain clean hydrogen, it relies on the use of expensive and rare ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts, making it not sustainable or economically feasible. A complete ammonia conversion to hydrogen was achieved at an economically feasible 450 ?C
