In this study, microwave-assisted ammonia decomposition reaction was investigated over molybdenum incorporated catalysts. Due to the selective, volumetric, and noncontact heating properties of the microwave system, higher conversion values could be achieved at relatively lower reaction temperatures, which is important for on-site COx-free hydrogen production. Multiwall carbon nanotube-supported molybdenum catalysts were prepared following the impregnation procedure with different metal loading (– wt%), and inductively coupled plasma, nitrogen physisorption, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopic techniques were employed to characterize the fresh and used samples. |
