Abstract:
Ammonia decomposition is a crucial pathway for hydrogen production, holding significant promise for sustainable and efficient energy generation. Initial investigations in this study reveal that internal diffusion limitations, influenced by the size of industrial catalyst particles, severely impact catalytic performance in an External Wall-Heated Reactor (EWHR), with smaller powders causing excessive pressure drop. The introduction of washcoated SiSiC foam effectively mitigates diffusion limitations, thereby enhancing the ammonia decomposition performance. In non-reactive conditions, the Internal Joule-Heated Reactor (IJHR) demonstrates remarkable thermal response and energy efficiency due to its in-situ Joule heating compared to the EWHR. For ammonia decomposition process, the IJHR also exhibits superior catalytic performance and lower energy consumption, achieving peak energy efficiency at 600 °C. The integration of IJHR with washcoated SiSiC foam represents an innovative breakthrough in hydrogen production via ammonia decomposition, aligning with the revolutionary design concept of IJHR to enhance efficiency and energy savings for industrial-scale applications. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
