2NH3 -> N2 + 3H2
- gonvaled 8y agoHow would this work in an ammonia-powered battery?
- gvb 8y agoIt doesn't. The membrane "cracks" the ammonia into N2 and H2. The N2 is released to the atmosphere. The H2 is used in a hydrogen fuel cell to power an electrical drivetrain or in an internal combustion engine with a mechanical drivetrain.
- gonvaled 8y agohow do you regulate the membrane? does it degrade?
- CompelTechnic 8y agoI wonder, does converting ammonia to hydrogen absorb energy or release it? (Ie is it endothermic or exothermic?)
- refurb 8y agoExothermic as the reverse is endothermic.
- marcosdumay 8y agoIt's highly endothermic. Replacing the hydrogen with oxygen is exothermic. So one can create some ammonia-air fuel cell. But reducing it first to push the hydrogen into a fuel cell will almost surely net a negative amount of energy because of the losses.
