Abstract
) decomposition as an effective method for on-site hydrogen production due to its high hydrogen content, high energy density, and affordability. This review highlights recent developments in green decomposition techniques for ammonia, including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, non-thermal plasma, and other techniques, with a focus on the latest developments in new methods and materials (catalysts, electrodes, and sorbents) employed in these processes. Moreover, technical challenges and recommendations are discussed to assess the future potential of ammonia in the energy sector. The role of machine learning and artificial intelligence in ammonia decomposition is also emphasized, as these tools open up ways of simulating reaction mechanisms for the exploration of a new generation of high-performance catalysts and reducing trial-and-error approaches.
