Photocatalytic generation of hydrogen from a non-carbon source, ammonia in aqueous solutions
This review investigates hydrogen production via photocatalysis using ammonia, a carbon-free source potentially present in wastewater. Photocatalysis offers low energy requirements and high conversion efficiency compared to electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and plasma catalysis. However, challenges such as complex material synthesis, low stability, spectral inefficiency, high costs, and integration barriers hinder industrial scalability. The review addresses thermodynamic requirements, reaction mechanisms, and the role of pH in optimizing photocatalysis. By leveraging ammonia’s potential and advancing photocatalyst development, this study provides a framework for scalable, sustainable hydrogen production and simultaneous ammonia decomposition, paving the way for innovative energy solutions and wastewater management.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published.
The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are:
1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic.
2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic.
The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts.
Themed sections:
Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering:
1. Nanotechnology
2. Energy and environmental engineering
3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery)
5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.)
6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials).
7. Process systems engineering
8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
