The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,127 SBIR Phase I project grant to Amhytech LLC under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The project aims to develop a solvent-free ammonia electrolyzer that can efficiently convert ammonia to hydrogen at ambient conditions. The key technical objectives are to achieve stable, conductive ammonia liquefaction and optimize an electrolysis-based ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion system to maximize hydrogen yield and purity. This innovation seeks to overcome hydrogen storage and transportation challenges by leveraging ammonia as a viable hydrogen carrier, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the transportation and power generation sectors. The research involves comprehensive physicochemical and electrochemical studies, material characterization, and system integration efforts to ensure optimal performance under real-world conditions. The project is anticipated to run from Sep 1, 2024 to Feb 28, 2025.
