Using first principles to predict bimetallic catalysts for the ammonia decomposition reaction Nature Chemistry 2, 484 (2010). doi:10.1038/nchem.626 Authors: Danielle A. Hansgen, Dionisios G. Vlachos & Jingguang G. Chen The decomposition of ammonia is an important process if ammonia is to be used as a hydrogen storage medium. The most active catalyst for this is ruthenium, but its expense has provoked the search for alternatives. Now, using theory to guide the investigation, researchers have identified a bimetallic nickel–platinum surface as an active catalyst for this process. |
