Review of the Decomposition of Ammonia to Generate Hydrogen

Because of the problems associated with the generation and storage of hydrogen in portable applications, the use of ammonia has been proposed for on-site production of hydrogen through ammonia decomposition. First, an analysis of the existing systems for ammonia decomposition and the challenges for...
