Recent advancements in catalyst technology have introduced a single-atom platinum catalyst that ignites ammonia at a relatively low temperature of 200 °C.
This catalyst is capable of maintaining steady combustion at temperatures reaching 1,100 °C while producing low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
The implications of this technology could lead to significant reductions in the carbon footprint of essential industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals.
