Scientists Crack Major Ammonia Problem With a Platinum Catalyst Breakthrough

Platinum Catalyst Lights AmmoniaA newly engineered catalyst overcomes key obstacles that have long limited ammonia as a clean fuel for heavy industry. A newly developed single-atom platinum catalyst can ignite ammonia at about 200Β°C (392Β°F) and sustain stable combustion at 1,100Β°C (2,012Β°F) while producing very little NOx. The breakthrough could provide carbon-free, high-grade heat for industries such as [...]
