The UD research team will use ammonia as the fuel in their proof-of-concept research. In practice, a car or stationary power generator would be fueled with ammonia, which would be chemically converted to hydrogen by the nanocatalysts. The hydrogen would then be supplied to a fuel cell. Ammonia has a large storage capacity of hydrogen, is easy to make into a liquid form, and is one of the most abundant chemicals produced worldwide through its extensive use in fertilizers.
The researchers will explore a variety of nanocatalysts formed from combinations of inexpensive metals, as well try new techniques for fuel processing to avoid the poisoning of the catalysts by minute amounts of carbon monoxide, which are produced in current processing methods.
