Article Synopsis
- Scientists are looking at special carbon materials with nitrogen added to help break down ammonia.
- They found that a certain setup with a special metal called Ru (Ruthenium) can make this process super efficient at high temperatures.
- The way the metal and nitrogen work together helps make hydrogen quickly and easily, making it a good option for creating clean energy.
Catalytic NH synthesis and decomposition offer a new promising way to store and transport renewable energy in the form of NH from remote or offshore sites to industrial plants. To use NH as a hydrogen carrier, it is important to understand the catalytic functionality of NH decomposition reactions at an atomic level. Here, we report for the first time that Ru species confined in a 13X zeolite cavity display the highest specific catalytic activity of over 4000 h for the NH decomposition with a lower activation barrier, compared to most reported catalytic materials in the literature.
