New Insights into Ammonia Splitting

Ammonia is considered as a promising transport medium for hydrogen. However, an efficient process is necessary to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen.

An international research team has made progress in understanding how an iron catalyst can split ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen, a key step in hydrogen transport and storage. The findings, involving teams from Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Chair of Technical Chemistry (Dr. Maximilian Purcel and Prof. Dr. Martin Muhler), the Max Planck Institute (MPI CEC) for Chemical Energy Conversion, TU Berlin and the Italian Institute of Technology, were published in ACS Catalysis.
