The new process converts liquid ammonia directly into hydrogen

South Korean scientists recently announced a new technology for directly and efficiently converting liquid ammonia into hydrogen
.
According to a report by the physicist organization network on the 12th, in this research, the scientists proposed a new process that uses liquid ammonia to successfully produce a large amount of green hydrogen with a purity close to 100%, and this method consumes only energy One-third of hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water

Hydrogen is a clean fuel, and the only by-product produced when consumed in fuel cells is water.
This is in stark contrast to fossil fuels, which produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide
.
Hydrogen energy is known as the "ultimate energy" because of its environmental friendliness, and is regarded as one of the ways to solve energy resource problems and environmental crises

Ammonia is easier to liquefy than hydrogen, and it is easier to store and transport
.
Moreover, ammonia has two major advantages: mass hydrogen storage density and volume hydrogen storage density, and it is becoming a promising hydrogen transport carrier

In this new study, researchers from the National Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea proposed a new process that can be applied to the gas chromatography analysis process, allowing them to more reliably perform the new catalyst that can be used in the ammonia oxidation reaction.

The research team said that with this method, they can use real-time monitoring to distinguish in detail the ammoxidation reaction and the oxygen evolution reaction-the competitive oxidation reaction between the process of producing oxygen through a series of reactions
