Hydrogen is often regarded as an ideal energy carrier. Its use in energy conversion devices does in fact not produce any pollutants. However, due to challenges related to its transportation and storage, liquid hydrogen carriers are being investigated. Among the liquid hydrogen carriers, ammonia is considered very promising because it is easy to store and transport, and its conversion to hydrogen has only nitrogen as a byproduct. This work focuses on a review of the latest results of studies dealing with ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production. After a general introduction to the topic, this review specifically focuses on works presenting results of membrane reactors for ammonia decomposition, particularly describing the different reactor configurations and operating conditions, membrane properties, catalysts, and purification steps that are required to achieve pure hydrogen for fuel cell applications.
氢通常被视为一种理想的能量载体。它在能量转换装置中的使用实际上不会产生任何污染物。然而，由于其运输和储存方面的挑战，液态氢载体正在被研究。在液态氢载体中，氨被认为非常有前景，因为它易于储存和运输，并且其向氢的转化仅以氮作为副产物。这项工作重点回顾了关于氨分解制氢研究的最新成果。在对该主题进行一般性介绍之后，本综述特别关注展示氨分解膜反应器结果的研究工作，尤其描述了不同的反应器配置和操作条件、膜性能、催化剂以及为实现用于燃料电池应用的纯氢所需的净化步骤。
