High Entropy Alloy Catalysis for Ammonia Decomposition

Abstract

In this set of experiments, the focus is on developing a high entropy alloy catalyst to decompose ammonia into it two basic atomic elements; N2 and H2. 2๐‘๐ป3 โ‡Œ ๐‘2 + 3๐ป2 This must be done for the purpose of industrial release of ammonia into the atmosphere in a safer, healthier way. The goal behind this project was to create a catalyst with equal efficiency to ruthenium-based catalysts, which are the current industry standard. Using ruthenium at scale is cost prohibitive and is a hinderance to higher adoption of a hydrogen fuel economy.
