Abstract

Hydrogen fuel is one of the most ecological. However, its storage and transport still pose a challenge to the modern industry. This paper presents the use of ammonia as a liquid hydrogen carrier. It has been proven that it is possible to obtain green hydrogen in the splitting process conducted in non-thermal plasma conditions on carbon catalysts. Additionally, it has been shown that the process is almost 100% efficient and has very high selectivity. Another advantage of the method is the lack of need to use environmentally toxic metals.
