BaSi₂-supported catalyst development for ammonia decomposition

Scientific research and development, particularly in materials science and catalysis

The process of breaking down ammonia (NH₃) into nitrogen gas (N₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂)

Technologies that utilize ammonia as a sustainable fuel source and as a medium for hydrogen production.

A catalyst composed of barium silicide (BaSi₂) as an active support material combined with nickel or cobalt metal

A catalyst system using barium silicide as an active support material combined with cobalt metal for efficient ammonia decomposition. Demonstrates similar performance improvements as the nickel variant
