Ammonia has the potential to provide itself as an effective medium for energy storage in the form of hydrogen. Implementing this idea of transforming existing hydrocarbon-based energy sources to renewable and essentially zero carbon energy in the form of hydrogen, requires overcoming limitations and working on research gaps. The production of hydrogen from ammonia (NH3) through catalytic decomposition has gained significant attention as a potential avenue for clean and efficient hydrogen production. Developing efficient catalysts for this process is crucial to enhance the kinetics and selectivity of ammonia decomposition, thereby enabling the large-scale utilization of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier. This project will explore group 2 and transition metal imide/amide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, with an aim to operate the process at lower temperature and pressure. Bakhtawar will investigate sustainable catalysts, avoiding resource limited rare earth metals.

氨有潜力成为以氢形式储存能量的有效介质。要实现将现有碳氢化合物能源转变为氢气形式的可再生且基本上零碳能源的想法，需要克服局限性并弥补研究空白​​。通过催化分解从氨（NH3）生产氢气作为清洁高效制氢的潜在途径受到了广泛关注。为这一过程开发高效的催化剂对于提高氨分解的动力学和选择性至关重要，从而能够大规模利用氨作为氢载体。该项目将探索用于氨分解的第2族和过渡金属酰亚胺/酰胺催化剂，旨在在较低的温度和压力下操作该过程。巴赫塔瓦尔将研究可持续催化剂，避免使用资源有限的稀土金属。
