Emerging trends in research and development on earth abundant materials for ammonia degradation coupled with H2 generation

Ammonia, as an essential and economical fuel, is a key intermediate for the production of innumerable nitrogen-based compounds. Such compounds have found vast applications in the agricultural world, biological world (amino acids, proteins, and DNA), and various other chemical transformations. Howeve...

description Ammonia, as an essential and economical fuel, is a key intermediate for the production of innumerable nitrogen-based compounds. Such compounds have found vast applications in the agricultural world, biological world (amino acids, proteins, and DNA), and various other chemical transformations. However, unlike other compounds, the decomposition of ammonia is widely recognized as an important step towards a safe and sustainable environment. Ammonia has been popularly recommended as a viable candidate for chemical storage because of its high hydrogen content. Although ruthenium (Ru) is considered an excellent catalyst for ammonia oxidation; however, its high cost and low abundance demand the utilization of cheaper, robust, and earth abundant catalyst. The present review article underlines the various ammonia decomposition methods with emphasis on the use of non-noble metals, such as iron, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and several other carbides as well as nitride species. In this review, we have highlighted various advances in ammonia decomposition catalysts. The major challenges that persist in designing such catalysts and the future developments in the production of efficient materials for ammonia decomposition are also discussed.
