Low-temperature ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion achieved by applying an electric field

A team of scientists from Waseda University, led by Professor Yasushi Sekine, developed a novel method for converting ammonia to hydrogen at lower temperatures using a Ru/CeO2 catalyst and a DC electric field. This process significantly reduces the activation energy by leveraging surface protonics, allowing ammonia decomposition at temperatures as low as 398 K with 100% conversion. This breakthrough enables efficient and green hydrogen production, offering a potential solution for on-demand hydrogen generation while promoting the use of alternative, CO2-free fuels.
