Description
This project will develop an electro-catalytic technology to dissociate NH3 into hydrogen for use in either aircraft or power station turbines. The use of an electro-catalytic process will lower the temperatures of operation compared to other thermal conversion technologies, thus reducing the cost of ammonia cracking. The specific objectives are to investigate new electro-catalysts for the conversion of ammonia into hydrogen and evaluate the performance in terms of energy efficiency and NH3 dissociation efficiency. The students will be expected to perform experimentation on catalyst synthesis, characterisation using advanced techniques and performance evaluation using a lab scale reactor.
